Losing steam after cleaning the house today. Trying once again to open the kitchen up to Connor after buying some child proofing stuff for the cabinets. Funny thing is, we bought him alphabet magnets for the fridge, and all those once tempting cabinets don't mean anything to him anymore. He's ALL about the magnets.

I've been having troubles with my right knee for a little over 3 months now. Totally stinks. My knee cap doesn't feel stable anymore. It slips and cracks and is just all over painful. I can't walk for long periods of time before my leg swells up, or I can't kneel on the ground to change a diaper because it hurts so much.

Needless to say.. I'm a bit worried.

I have a doc appointment on the 14th so I just gotta hold out until then. It's sort have been just a depressing time these last couple months too. Because of the pain in my knee, I'm of course not as active, which doesn't aid with losing more of the baby weight. In fact I think I've gained some back. I'd love to want to go out with Connor for walks or to the park, but I just don't think I can keep up with him by myself because of this. I really hope the doctor tells me it's something pretty easy to fix with some physical therapy and NOT surgery. I don't know how I'd take care of the Con-man if I had to have that done without Mike having to take off work.

Stephanie, just reading that brought the biggest smile to my face. Thank you. =) It really meant a lot. All I can ask for is prayers right now that my knee isn't like this for very long. =/
