i am here. i am here. i am here.
barely.
here's a summary of my past four months of hiding:
pregnant cherie = sick cherie
and that's about all i can remember.
life has a way of sending me adventures in the most unique ways.
sometimes i understand them. sometimes it takes a while for me to
understand them. and then there are those things that i need to
understand again and again and yet again.
my latest life lesson can best be quoted by uncle rico. (particularly for jeff's enjoyment)
only it wasn't napoleon's grandma this time.
rather yours truly.
yep. broke her coccyx.
and i can't help but laugh just saying it.
although at the time, it was a bit less funny.
here's how it happened.
lincoln started throwing up monday night and into tuesday morning. he had already decorated our floor once that morning when i saw him heaving again. so with my supermom cape on, i took off running with a towel in hand to save the day before the chunks hit the floor.
small problem: i was wearing my blood clot support hose. which apparently weren't providing the kind of support i needed.
slipped.
both feet took to the skies.
supermom came crashing down to the floor. no capes!
brave dallin managed to get me the phone while i'm on the floor shrieking and unable to move.
i called jeff and he swept in to save the day and transport me to the ER just like a good knight in shining armor should.
diagnois: baby fine, me broken tailbone
remedy: tylenol, a donut pillow, and a healthy dose of time.
and the story does get more exciting after that, but i'll save that for another day because right now my rump is demanding relief.
what i have learned for sure is this:
i love my knight in shining armor even more than the last time he saved my broken body.
i love my children for their humble prayers.
i love my life because it's good.
and one last thing

Cherie- what are the odds?! I hope your tail feels better soon. Congrats on the new baby boy!
oh yay. You’re BACK! Your story is a bit funny, but oh man does it sound painful. I hope you feel better soon!! I love that sweet picture. congratulations on the new baby boy!
My gosh girl….I have done the exact same thing soooo many times, but never broke my tailbone! Luckily! I hope it feels a little bit better each day! Take care and do as the doctor says so you can heal and enjoy the pregnancy!
The picture you posted is soooo cute!!!
You are amazing my friend, amazing! I don’t think I would be so positive with this little announcement. You are such a great example to me. I hope you feel reall better soon!
Congrats on another little boy!! I am a little jealous, maybe Jeff can give Adam pointers for a boy baby. I love love that picture! You are so beautiful!
ah shoot, cherie! so sorry. you have had quite a full plate these past months. i loved the sound clip!! and ‘no capes!’. at least yours didn’t get caught in a jet engine. 😉 take care.
Sucks to be Janet! (Janet was Kim Bauer’s friend from the first season of “24” that the bad guys kept hurting, trying to kill and so forth. I think it took like 3-4 episodes before the poor gal finally died.) That is what my husband and I say when it seems that things can’t get worse, but yet somehow do. You have a funny way of making people laugh at your pain though. Great story telling skills! I hope you get to feeling better!
So glad you “are here!” I still think you have a supermom cape on–amazing, really. Hope your rump finds relief…our prayers and thoughts are still with you. Love you.
Cherie,
Its good to hear from you again, I lost touch and couldn’t find you. You have a beautiful family, I am sorry you have been sick. I hope you feel better soon, Take care.
Love, Kristy Elies

Cherie!!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry to hear about your accident. Ouch!! Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! And to be sick too. Jeez! I am so sorry! But, congrats on the new baby boy coming your way–how exciting!!! Your family pictures look awesome, btw. I will pray that you will start feeling better soon–all of you!!
Cherie…just found your blog through Tara’s, and you are awesome. First, I have to say, that line from Napoleon is my favorite (and it’s hard to pick a favorite.) Second, I get deathly morning sickness too. Blah. And third I broke my coccyx once…it’s a long story that involves a baby being born, getting stuck, coming out the wrong way. blah blah blah, you don’t want to hear it. But it hurts like heck for a long time.
LOVE the pics. Beautiful family.
