Over the course of the last 31 days

I have:

• Welcomed my 3rd baby into the world -5:31pm on April 25th
• Survived the newborn haze and felt exceptionally good
• Managed to catch pneumonia, which developed into pleural empyema
• Was hospitalized for 12 days, during which my chest cavity was cut open, ribs spread and all the empyema gunk was scraped out
• With the advocacy of the lactation dept, was able to select meds that were nursing friendly and have successfully continued to breast feed
• Returned home last night

There is a lot to share, friends, like the beautiful birth story, the love of Christ that our church poured over us through the hospitalization, my incision pics (not for the faint of heart), etc, etc.

In the meantime, there is a lot that I have missed, too and I will slowly but surely try to catch up.
