of which there is plenty. But poor Ted has to have surgery on his upper spine next week. There's no way around it. He has pretty extreme compression of the spinal cord and it could lead to bad things. He's already lost feeling in a finger and it may not come back. Argh! This is so scary. The surgery sounds pretty safe and has a very good prognosis. He'll probably feel good as new after, as opposed to the pain he's been living with for quite a while now. And our doctor seems really great and cutting edge, as it were. But jeez. It's his freakin' spine, for god's sake. It's still scary. And I don't want him to have to go through it. And I can't even imagine if anything ever happened to him. Who else would I ever find to make me homemade yogurt and side our house and be our kids' daddy and make me laugh with his twisted humor? Nobody. Well, we're just going to stop thinking like that right now. Because it's going to be fine, right?
Hope everything goes well. I added you to blogroll!

It is absolutely going to be fine! I have a very good feeling about the surgery.

It is scary, but he will be good. He'll come out of it better. And then you two can laugh at this and spend more time with those sweet little squishy legs. Oooh, those girls are so cute!
Think of you, my friend.

Yes, it's going to be okay. My mom recently had a surgery that sounded super scarey and has a long recovery time, but she made it through okay and she's doing well so far. I think its totally normal to worry and wonder, but it IS going to be okay.
And you HAVE to put that first pic in black and white and frame it. Too cute.

Hoping your husband is doing well.
Those legs in the first picture? Oh how I love them. I have chub, but for some reason it's not that cute.
