May

Just wanted to do a quick update to tell you what is going on. We are now planning on flying home on May 23rd. Hopefully, my back will be strong enough. We can't really wait any longer after that anyways or we lose our flights. I am still quite sore and my hands have started going numb again which means something is wrong in my cervical spine. (Upper back.) You know when you sleep on your arm and wake up with it all pins and needles? That is what the feeling is like but it happens every time I lay down. I am not getting treated for that yet but will most likely start that physio as well. I am a mess. My back is recovering but really slow. Actually, this is probably the longest it has taken to get better. Most likely do to the baby. Aka. twinkle toes. Who never wants to stop dancing on me. The boy is energetic!

He has two joys in life, jumping on daddy and nipples. The later, I can understand but he is incessant about bouncing. I finally just ended up buying a really overpriced Fisher-Price Rain Forest Bouncer. It was worth every penny though.

Draidan is doing really well. He is quick to smile and starting to add a belly laugh to his repertoire, which I have yet to catch on film. It is really funny when he does it. It doesn't sound like a baby laugh, which makes it even funnier. Mike was over tonight and pointed out how freaking fast he is growing. I think he is going to be taller than me. Our friends keep telling us that his mannerisms don't look like a baby. He has really "adult" looking facial expressions. I keep seeing babies his age and he does look way older than them...so hopefully he won't look like Don Knotts by the time he is 12.
