Long Story Short(for once in my life)

Everyone that knows me knows I love to talk, and write! I am notorious for VERY long blog posts and other posts on my online chats. I am going to try to turn over a new leaf and not bore people to tears with every tiny detail of my life!!

So my belly pains got me admitted to Summerlin Hospital on 11/30, and I got out on 12/6, at first they thought it was an abcess from the bowel rupture in June, but it ended up being an ovarian cyst the size of an orange. Now I have to be on birth control pills so I don't get any more cysts or this one doesn't get any bigger. I find that to be very comical, seeing as I can't get pregnant if I wanted to without IVF so I don't need birth control pills!!

Christmas was a whirlwind, and was so nice this year, even though gehrig was only 6 months. It was still so cool to finally have a baby in the house for these holidays. It was probably one of our best Christmases ever. Eric was off Xmas eve and day, and we went to friends both days. Then he was off new year's eve too so we went to Donna's house for that. he went back to work on 1/1 and worked pretty much every day from 1/1 to 1/22.

On 1/23 we left for our 1st family vacation in Curacao, and island right off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean, near Aruba. It was magical. We had the best vacation we have ever had. They had day care at the resort so G could go there to be put down for his naps and Eric and I could have some time at the pool to hang out and read. G loved the water, which Eric took him in every day. He loved having Eric and me to himself for 10 days even more!!

He finally said his 1st word, "da da". I have to admit I am jealous, I take care of him every day all day, why wasn't it "mama"?? Eric sees him for like 10 minutes a day a lot of the time. Oh well, that's ok.

I'll post more on our trip after I get out of this mountain of laundry, bills and other things I have to do now that we've been away 10 days!!
