WOW MOMENTS:
9/21/06
Had 2 wow moments today. 1)took a shower and was able to bend my leg good enough to actually dry between my toes! (I'd been having to air dry those little toogers) and 2)I could wrap a bathsheet around me and my belly was poking out!
10/16/06
Had another "WOW" moment. Sarah was home (no school) and I came home for lunch. When I left, I gave her a hug (she was going into work at 5 and I wouldn't see her until much later that night) and she turned around and put both arms around me. She said "Ooh mama, I've never been able to put both of my arms around you!". Made me feel so good and so sad all at the same time!
