We just got back from our whirl-wind trip to Texas. Can I really call it a "whirl-wind" even though it was 3 weeks? It really seemed to fly by! There is so much to share from our trip - Alexander's baptism, Halloween, and meeting family and friends! All in posts to come soon hopefully!
I know all of y'all have been pretty concerned about my back. Thank you so for your encouragement and prayers. I had an MRI in Norway before leaving for the states. The results were a ruptured disc, torn spinal ligaments, and some disc deterioration...basically the back of a 60 year old. The good news...it should get better with time and physical therapy. The bad news...running is NOT recommended (I'm just gonna ignore that) and I have to be patient (a virtue I simply do NOT possess).
I think I basically had the perfect storm of stress on my back and hips in the last year. Between pregnancy and labor, packing and moving across the world, and my own stubbornness to slow down I've done a number on my body. I'm doing physical therapy and looking into an alternative to running...maybe swimming and yoga. I need some endorphins STAT!!!
Thank you to everyone who took the time to come to Alexander's baptism, meet up, take us out to eat, have us over, and host us while we were in the states. It was truly a wonderful experience introducing our son to everyone we love back in Texas!
Stay tuned! Many posts to come soon...but for now I leave you with this gem. Don't let that innocent look fool you. Alexander has officially found his voice and it is NOT an inside voice! This kid loves to yell! He is joyful but oh so loud!
