Christmas Dress

I've been a bit behind in my positing and picture taking this week. On Tuesday I had knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus injury that I suffered in May while 20 weeks pregnant. Since the injury was not considered life threatening or really serious nothing could be done until after Elizabeth was born. After meeting with the surgeon I was able to get a quick surgery date and now will return to school on January 5th instead of next week, as originally planned. Having mom and dad close by has been a wonderful. Mom arrives just as Jim is leaving for work, then dad comes over later to do any errands, cleaning, or outside work that needs to be done. Mom stays until Jim gets home from work and we repeat the next day. So far its working and I hope to be back on my feet in another week so I don't wear out my help. Elizabeth started sleeping through the night this week which has been a dream for us since Jim is the one getting up with her while I recover from my surgery.

Elizabeth and I played dress up in her dress that Grammy bought for her and even though she was not in a great picture taking mood I did managed to get a couple good pictures of her. This week Elizabeth has amazed us at her abilities. If you clasp your hands in front of her she'll do the same. She's making lots of new noises and is really starting to move her arms and legs a lot more.
