BUT, this grandma needs to relearn how to pick up a baby!! They had one of those bouncey seats on the floor....I was on my knees leaning over to put her in it and pulled something in my back. She's already a wriggly little bundle and weighs almost l3 lbs. now. Oh well, a backache is worth the yummy time we had snuggling, and "talking" with her. She just crows and gurgles at you like nobody's business. It was so cute Sat. Grandpa was down on the floor in front of her in the bouncey seat. They were holding a very serious conversation....I told DDIL I think Grandpa was getting the "skinny" on all of Baby's complaints!! She's thriving needless to say under her devoted parents' care.

Don't know what I'll accomplish today, unfortunately, part of it will be spent on the heating pad. Gets real discouraging, I finally get straightened out and reach or lift something without thinking, and I'm right back where I started. I'd say I'm getting old, but this has gone on for several years...I've never had an accident or anything, just a bad back. Will check back later.........TJ

Aww...all those gurgles and kisses are a sweet balm for aching bodies! Maybe Grandmommy could get a good massage here and there! I am thinking...I better start stretching and bending right now! I will go slow (I can hear the buggies blurting this out!lol) Hope your ache melts away really quick! Franni

Hi TJ! Sounds like you need to start a simple exercise plan! I like the ones in Slimfast site! You do not have to drink the stuff if you do not want to! www.slimfast.com Just join and see if they have something for you! They give me a reminder to weigh in each week! I have the powered drink mixes one in Choc, Vanilla, and Strawberry! I made a shake last night to go with my supper, the strawberry mix and a few strawberries and a couple Tab. of van. icecream. It has vitamins in it to give you energy! It was so yummy! I had DH taste it! He said it tasted like a good milk shake! We grandmas have to do what we can to keep up! Love hereing from you! Hugs, SusieK

Oh TJ, your post about "crowing and gurgling" brought back such vivid memories of holding DS on my lap and carrying on long conversations with him! Seems like yesterday. He is 29 today. Doesn't crow and gurgle much anymore! LOL! KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

I know about bad backs and what a *pain* they can be. Sorry you're having to cope with one too. Do be careful and take good care of yourself so you can get down on the floor and crawl around when baby starts crawling. I got to snuggle with mine today too, loved it!!..Susie

Hugs,
