This has been quite an interesting week and a half for us since Jaden came home. We've got three very rambunctious girls, who are so happy when grandma comes to take them to play. Especially because mom and dad are pretty pathetic right now.
Four days before Jaden was born, Kevin came home from a basketball game with a severely sprained ankle. We thought he'd still have a couple weeks to recover before Jaden arrived, but apparently we were wrong.
He's had some time, here and there, to get his foot up and ice it, but not as much as he needs. So now, he's going to see the doctor, finally. Hopefully we'll see if it's worse than just a sprained ankle since it's taking so long to heal.
Then theres me. My back was hurting while I was pregnant, but that's normal when you're pregnant. unfortunately, the delivery must have done something, beause now it's MUCH worse than it was. I can barely walk, which isn't making anything easier.
Add in to that the fact that Jaden just can't seem to keep his biliruben level down, so we have to keep going back to the doctor to get it checked, and you'll see that we are just a sorry bunch of crippled people here.
Yeah, we were supposed to get to relax this week but, I've had a couple appts with the chiropractor, and Jaden's been to the doctor twice and is going back again on friday. Not the most relaxing week, but someday, things will slow down, right?
In the meantime, here are a few pictures of what the girls have been doing to keep busy. They are way rowdy and cooped up, so they have to get their energy out somehow!

I am not saying this to look for sympathy in any way, but man-oh-man, am I ready for life to slow down and get back to some semblance of normal! Luckily for us, Jaden has been an amazing baby so far, and besides having his days and nights a little mixed up, he couldn't be an easier baby, thank heavens for that!

I am so sorry April! Can't believe all that at once. I feel like the worst that I haven't been able to help! I cannot believe how bruised Kevin's foot is in that pic....yikes. I wonder if it is worse than a sprain after all. How was Jaden's bili today? I can't remember if you were going today or not. SOOOOO glad he is a good baby! Even more glad your mom is almost here to help! And one day, I'll stop coughing so I can be of some use!
You should get sympathy! I felt like crying for you when I read your post. I am sure you are counting down the minutes until your Mom gets there!
I hope Jaden's bili comes down soon and that life can get to normal. Hang in there!!
Wow, that sucks! I hope things start slowing down real soon!
You tricked me with the first pick of Kevins foot so that when I saw the second pic, my jaw literally dropped!
And I can't imagine taking care of a newborn with out a back!! I hope little Jaden gets better soon too. I'll be praying for a nice, slow, non-crippled week for all of you!
At least they're all willing to hang out together. Lexie looks so happy in Halli's arms!
You are more then entitled to get some sympathy... you've got my sympathy vote!! I am so so sorry! As if having a new baby isn't hard enough. I will call you today and find out how Kevin, you and Jaden's appointments all go. Thinking of you and so happy your mom is coming on Saturday!! Let me know what I can do to help!
That looks broken. Should get to the doctor sooner rather than later to avoid improper healing and possible future surgeries.
Oh April, sorry about everything that happened-when it rains, it pours, sometimes. I really hope your back feels better soon. Lots of prayers are coming your way. You are more than welcome to send your cute girls this way anytime...I mean it. I'm feeling better and my kids would love the company.Please don't hesitate to take me up on it.
April, I had no idea you had so much going on at your house. I am so glad that your mom is coming tomorrow and you can get a repreive from this crazy phase. We will have to get together after I heal up a little and you are feeling better. In the meantime, you are in my prayers.
