I got packages yesterday! Specifically, I got a box of a dozen mini-cheesecakes from my MIL and FIL. I also got a flower arrangement with teddy and balloon from my parents. Thank you, moms, dads, and toms!

(On the left are the flowers that my DH got for me upon arrival. In the center is a card from Cousin S. (DH’s side of the family). On the right are the flowers from my parents.)

And if you click the link just below this, you can see a small picture of my punctured belly. It’s not gross; I’m including it mainly because it’s amazing how tiny the cuts are when you think about it. As for status, I’m doing fine. I spent most of today without internet access. It just came back about ten minutes ago, so I’m catching up on e-mail and world happenings.
