A milestone!!

Not sure if I should start with the back story or just shout out my milestone?  Shout it is! 

I GOT MY WEDDING RING ON!!!!!

My husband has given me two very special rings over the years.  One is my wedding set and the other I call my baby ring.  He gave me a diamond for each baby I had and had them set into a ring.  The baby ring was made to fit my right hand and is a size larger than my left.  I am not sure when I stopped wearing my wedding band and moved my baby ring to the left hand and started wearing it as a wedding ring.  It was so long ago that my youngest (almost 13) doesn't think she's ever seen it.  I would venture to guess that it has been 6 years or so that I have been too fat to wear my wedding ring.  Two years ago I thought about re-sizing it and never got around to it.  Last night I weighed myself and realized that I was down another 5 lbs and thought..maybe?   So I fished it out, as I have done a few other times along this journey, and it slid right on!!   If I had two legs to stand on I would have done a happy dance! 

What a great way to end a great week!!  This was my first week off of bedrest.  I got to go back to work half days.  What a difference it has made!  I feel like a new person!  The depression has lifted, the frustration has lessened and I feel like I have a purpose again.  I do have to learn my limits.  I had one day where I had things going on in the evening also and the next day was tough.  Too much.  The frustration came back.  So I learned from it.  Back up, take it easy, and stay off my feet.  My limits will change and grow as I heal so I will have to know when to adjust without going over.  But every life has a challenge, right? 

I have so much to be thankful for!  I have a great job with wonderful co-workers, I have a tremendous network of supportive friends, and the best family EVER!
