Boy it has been a bumpy ride but we are finally all here. Feeling better already. I cant wait to get into our house and settle down and NEVER move again! We cleaned and cleaned. The pack out was easy, very nice people. Probably robbed me blind but oh well.
We miss our friends terribly! Already planning some joint vacations to that helps.
Jackson was so good when traveling. He is having a hard time adjusting and isn't sleeping well but it will work itself out. Now time to plan his baptism/bday party... send all ideas!
Our house got pushed back a week but I know it will work out. I LOVE the house. What really sold me was the water access a block away. It is perfect for us. Needs some work but that's how it is in MD.
We are all healthy and together and that's what matters.
Today's Blessing: Hopkins again on Friday for a brain scan or something to figure out these strokes...3 so far. God Bless Doctors!

All Parents Have Hard Times
I am sure that even the world's best mother and father have those days when everything bugs them, everything seems hard and things just don't go their way. I am by no means discounting the difficulty every parent has at some point BUT sometimes I feel like I have it harder. Trust me, I know that sounds bad.
There are lots of good days. Jackson wakes up between 530 and 7 (on the weekends) usually. Sometimes I can get out of bed, pick him up, change him, feed him and then play without too much pain. It is usually pain I can overcome.
There are some bad days. Days when I hear him crying and it takes me a while to get out of bed, then I have to take a hot bath or shower to loosen up my joints. Then I can shuffle to his room and hoist him out of the crib. He will cry and fuss the whole time I am changing him. I struggle down the steps to feed him and play (which is him playing and me laying on the couch).
I know lots of parents have these days too and I pray theirs are spread out farther than mine are. You probably are thinking...where is your husband? Have him do some of this. He does a lot. He has to work so early sometimes he cannot help. But his definately pulls his share at night. Doesn't Lupus go into remission? Do all Lupies have these problems with infants. I should mention that even though Jackson is just under 10 months, he is HUGE! He weighs almost 25 pounds and he is practically walking. He is so big I have to take 2 trips into daycare, one with just him then one with his stuff.
