I have done nothing all day today except sleep. Occasionally, I would wake up and read a few pages or eat a little something, and then I would close my eyes and wake again a few hours later. I finally woke around 7pm and have been up since, but I'm getting tired again. I cannot believe all the sleeping I've done today. My poor husband is getting frazzled. He's working all week and we're leaving Saturday for our month in Wisconsin. He and DS will be driving and babyE and I are flying (1 1/2 hour flight versus 10 hour car drive). I've been making lists and am planning to pack very lightly this year. Since I won't be able to pack or unpack the car, I need to make it easy on my DH. Plus, I need to make it easy on myself since I don't want to be in bed the whole trip recovering from overpacking! I guess there are advantages to the fact that hardly any of my clothes fit over my swelly belly! 
I think that my pain is a little better after all the sleeping. I plan to take it as easy as I can all week. Thank you so much to everyone who gave support today. Really. It was the highlight of my day. Well, next to the comment my DH made when I was lying in bed in my nightie with all the covers kicked off because it was HOT today! He said, "It's too bad you're hurting so much, because you look sexy. It's like having a Ferrari in the garage and not being able to drive it." Now, who wouldn't like to be paid a compliment like that when you feel like you've been run over by a truck and are so swollen none of your clothes fit? :rofl

Aww! Wow! Thanks so much! You are so sweet! I am glad you said that 'cause I think I seem to stray from the crowd in what I say sometimes.
I seem to think a lot differently than most here, it seems. But that is ok, because we are all individuals here and that is what journaling is all about. Our individual spirit, style and unique outlook on life.
Your DH sounds a bit like mine. Except mine can't seem to keep his hands off of me. He even made a comment about it the other day saying he did not want to be "that guy". He's so funny! Gotta love 'em!!

As I said in a previous comment, your DH is precious. Hold on to that guy!
Thanks so much for your very nice comment. I must say that your journal entries have given me cause to think. Thank you for be such a good journalist.

Stop it!! You're going to wear yourself out thanking us for being friends! 
Man, I have to copy that quote from your DH. Who wouldn't feel special with comments like that!! (jael's turning green with envy) I feel like pond scum these days, so I'm going to pretend someone said that to ME.

Clementine,
Thank you so much for that entry, you put a smile on my face, but honey you don't have to thank me, I am not expecting it, I don't write in anyone's journal for thanks or anything, but to help. I love listening to people and helping. I think I should have been a therapist at time..lol
I agree with Monnchime, you are very much an inspiration to us all as so many others here are as well.
It is so true, when one door closes another opens. That is the cae with my Hyst. My door to child breaing and all that comes with female organs was slammed in my face, but then another door opened wehre I met all my wonderful sisters, which I know I will be around for a long time to come. I plan on staying here until they kick me out. Because of my hyst, I have come to know you and in most cases with the help of all of you, found the strength I needed to get throuhg a day or strength I never knew I had.
Gee I feel an entry in my journal coming up after that one.
We all love you sweety

Sweetie, no thanks are necessary. I love that you always leave wonderful support and wisdom in your comments to my journal, so I only want to return the favor.
You are a very special lady....and you've got the special DH to go along with you!
WE will all get through this together hun, really. In 6 months, I have a feeling we will all be fondly remembering this time in our recoveries.
with much love
Tam

Packing too much has always been the bane of my existance. You just don't need that much. It is easier to go to the laudramat on vacation that to haul around so many extra clothes, because you have the clean ones and the dirty ones.
Of course, I don't know how you pack light with a wee one. They go through clothes like crazy. Maybe panties and no shorts or shirts when you are not going anywhere. The partially dressed look is very cute on little ones.
I think our bodies tell us what we can do. I am very glad you got the rest you needed.
I love that you are thought of as a Ferrari-my DH is flirting with me again too, so he is also getting frisky! I told him I still can't imagine ever having sex again, so we will see.
Take care, and know that I think of you often.

NO, I have to thank you Leslie for being there for me. You are truley a unique and special kind of person, one made expecially to love. You have helped me so much and how could anyone EVER forget you. I wish for you to get better and be a stronger and more LOVEABLE person, if thats possible... your already so nice. I am glad to hear that your DH is so supportive .. and I have to say I am very lucky in that area too. Have a great time on your vacation. I hope your flight is comfortable and you have a safe trip. Take care.
Dee
