I am three days out of the hospital. I really didn’t feel like writing down anything while I was in there, and I wanted to wait until I had the energy to write something of substance. I guess I’m ready for that.

I seem to have scheduled this just in time for my vacation! My appendix ruptured on Friday morning at around 12:30 AM. I have never felt so much pain in my life.
I did it. I got my eyes done with LASIK. And the results are amazing. I decided to write down my experience with the LASIK procedure so that others might know what really happens before, during, and after the procedure.

Again, we are superstitious people now that we have a baby on our hands, and we don’t want to jinx things. That’s why I write with trepidation that Alex is sleeping through the night. From 7:30 PM to 6:00 AM the next day. Wow.

Overall, the little guy is doing well. This morning he woke up at 5:30 AM and wouldn’t go back to sleep, so Angelica put him in his crib in the nursery where it’s still dark. Suffice it to say, he wanted to stay up, and he wanted someone to hold him while he did.
