Happy Valentine's Day

Although today is Valentine's Day, it really wasn't different from any other day around here. We opt not to do anything for v-day because we both feel that it's important to show each other our love and do nice things for one another every day, not just one day, so all we did was exchange cards. We also got cards for the girls and a little box of chocolates for Addy. My mom also got them the cutest little matching slippers, and more chocolate for my tiny choco-holic. So, again, like every other day, it was more about them than us, but that's the way it should be.

Today was also our first outing since bringing Alexis home. We went to Vegreville to do some shopping. The diaper situation here was not looking good and we didn't figure we'd make it to the weekend. Anyways, it went really well. Alexis slept from the time we put her in the carseat to leave until we got home and took her out of the carseat. Poor Addy had a little breakdown when we got to the check-out because I wouldn't let her have the diaper coupons, but we made it out of there alive. Then we got home and I was exhausted, so when Addy and Alexis went to sleep, so did I.

Tonight I finally gave up on waiting until day 10, and I had a bath. I figured it's day 8, my incision is closed up and I hadn't had a bath in at least 9 or 10 days (the shower just doesn't cut it...lol), so I got in the tub. I also wanted to take my steri-strips off and there was no way I was doing that without soaking them first. My incision looks good, though, except for at one end of it there was a stitch out (they only stitched inside with the dissolved stitches). Anyways, this stitch was out and in the tub I notice it had come undone so now there is a piece of "thread" about 1cm long coming out of my incision and just sitting there. So we'll see what the doctor says about that. I'm to go see him on Tuesday.

Anyways, I'm sleepy and Jamie should be done giving Alexis her bedtime supplement, so I think we're all going to head off to bed.
