Here with my baby jazz making sure she is okay after having back surgery...

Trevor is getting his infusion today. Started all this on August 3 and he has put on 30 lbs and grown several inches already!

Poor baby woke up from a 3 day comma #baby #poorbaby #sad #sick #sickbaby 😷😭

Okay so this might just be me, actually it probably is just me... But I've always wondered if anyone else felt this way. So you now how people always ask if your back hurts all the time. And I usually say, most of the time. But then I think... Am I in constant pain but I don't know anything else so my body is just used to it? And that if I where to be in someone else's body I would just be amazed at how incredible my back felt. Again, very random. Just wanted to say that out loud.
