There is this local radio morning show I've listened to since I moved back to Boise 10 years ago or so. It's just a typical morning show, lots of on air shenanigans coupled with stories of crazy off air lives. I normally listen on my way to work so after I got put on bed rest I didn't listen much. Mostly I just caught the little bits and pieces they played as commercials later in the day during our weekly drives to the doctor's office. One of the bits and pieces I caught was that one of the co-host's sisters was pregnant at the same time I was. Of course I didn't think much about it, in fact I'm sure I had a jealous thought or two that she was probably enjoying a normal healthy pregnancy. When I went back to work in October for a couple weeks I started listening again. One morning I was driving to work when the co-host shared that her sister had lost her baby. I remember thinking how horrible it was. I couldn't imagine having to deal with something like that. I shed some tears for all of them and patted my big belly and told Kyler I loved him. Fast forward a couple weeks and I was in a very similar situation myself. I'd been thinking about her sister quite a bit over the last few months. I wonder how she's been doing. For some reason I really wanted to send her a set of "Mom of an Angel" and "Dad of an Angel" wrist bands. I finally decided just to do last week. I got a set of them and a card and sent them into the co-host at the radio station asking her to pass them along to her sister. I felt a little awkward doing it but I'm glad I did. It doesn't really matter if they like them or not, it just felt like something I needed to do. If nothing else I hope it helps her to know that people are still thinking about her. Clay and I both love our wristbands, they help me remember how much we both loved Kyler. If you know of someone who needs a wristband and can't get a hold of one for some reason, let me know and I will do what I can to get them one.
I haven't started the blankets yet but I think I am going to try to do a couple this week. Now that I have Wednesdays off, I'm planning on doing some of those types of things I've been meaning to do. We've been so busy on weekends I haven't had much of a chance to get them started.
In unrelated news I was able to get both my wedding rings back on today. It was pretty awesome. When I lost weight a couple years ago I swear I lost like 5 pounds in my fingers alone. I had to have my rings re-sized and they ended up tiny. I had thought about getting them sized up after I had Kyler but I didn't want to have to keep getting them re-sized so I just waited. I was able to get my engagement ring on about a month ago, but not the wedding band. Today I was able to get both of them on. I've been working really hard at getting back in shape and have lost about 12lbs since I went back to work. Apparently most of that has been in my fingers. :)
