I am really nervous about our surgery tomorrow. I’m wringing my hands. Tendons in both feet are going to be released. This is the best time to do it. This is one of these amazing surgeries that the longer we wait, the more major the surgery. If I had this done, they would have to put me out, but if a baby has it done, they just give a local shot for the pain. Then they will cast her legs around the surgery for three weeks so I won’t even have to clean the area.

I’m so worried about this. I’m trying not to think about it. My stomach hurts. It’s so minor a surgery compared to the surgeries I’ve been looking at. If she has any good muscle anywhere on her body we’re considering moving it to the bicep of her dominate arm. That’s pretty major. This should be cake, but it’s the first of what could be many. I’m scared.

But moving on to happier things. My friend, Megan, just announced that Laelie would be getting a new friend in August. I’m so glad she has so much friend potential! My other friend, Jess, is moving to Washington DC. At her going away party today her little boy, Andrew, asked me if Laelia would miss him when he’s gone. So precious! We went to church this morning and left Laelie in the nursery. I am pleased to announce that she now has a boyfriend, Jonathan. He’s a few weeks older and they just stare at each other in the nursery. So cute! And, unlike my rebellious daughter, he has bright blue eyes.

Speaking of rebellion, I tried to take some pictures of Laelie before the surgery while she’s still up and about and happy. She’s not cooperating.

Thbbbbb! I hate Christmas pictures!
