Far more serious than layouts...

If I'm ever asked if I want the good news or the bad news first I want the bad news...get the crappy stuff out of the way and move onto more pleasant thoughts.

So that's what I'm doing today...first I'll discuss the crap and then share layouts. :)

At 6:15am tomorrow Sean is having surgery.  Nothing major...totally an outpatient procedure and ultimately it'll be a good thing since he's having various aspects of his nose repaired so that he can finally start to breathe out of both nostrils normally...but it's surgery. 

Rationally I know surgeries occur thousands upon thousands of times every single day...with my Dad I grew up around surgery...I wore scrubs as pajamas, stood quietly by during seemingly endless post-op checks as dad did his rounds, the doctor's lounge was our playground with it's big screen TV and pool table. 

Tomorrow though I have to sit in a waiting room and wait.  Two plus hours of most likely torturing myself with worry, getting jumpy every time I see any doctor come out to debrief a family member...I grew up around surgery...I know that there is always a chance that something totally routine can go wrong. 

I can be perfectly rational, but honestly I'm pretty much terrified and will be until they lead me back to see a groggy, bandaged up Sean.

So if you wouldn't mind sending a good thought out, or crossing your fingers, or saying a prayer it would mean so much to me.

Okay thanks for putting up with my dramatic nervousness...now the good stuff...well I'm not saying these are particularly good actually their fairly uncreative...but it was loads of fun to dive into new patterns and put stuff together...

thninking of you! You know I think you are superwoman! Bet Sean thinks so too after you taking care of him today! xoxo

p.s. Thanks for a fabulous class last weekend.

I'm late commenting, so I already know everything turned out well for Sean, but I have to tell you that I burst out laughing at the layout of your mom with the mesh underwear on her head!! That is the most bizarre underwear I have ever seen and I could NOT actually believe I was supposed to put that on after I had my first baby, so that picture really cracked me up!! I love your LOs, and I'm glad Sean is doing well. Enjoy your movie weekend!

Sending good thoughts your way. You and Sean will be in my prayers!

I'll check back for an update - sure all will go well, but my son is having his wisdom teeth out next week and I know that feeling, that little niggling voice saying, "but what IF..." - it will be worth it and he'll be fine!

I hate surgeries but they have turned out fine. Sending prayers and good wishes to Sean and you. I think it's worse for the person waiting outside, you'll be fine, stay positive and let us know how Sean is later in the day. xxx
