Still Waiting

Waking up from post-MRI nap

Finn was a champ with his MRI yesterday.  They called me back to recovery around 9am, and we were home and getting into bed for a post MRI nap by 10am.  He was happy and cheerful the entire rest of the day, which made my recovery a whole lot easier!  We're still waiting to hear back from the expert at CHOP, and I haven't heard anything about the MRI, so I'm guessing that means it was ok.  We weren't really expecting to see much more than it being a little smaller after the surgery, so no news means that was the case.

Tonight I had Nanny M stay late and I went out to dinner at a really expensive restaurant that I didn't have to pay for and had a wonderful glass of red wine - my first since I tried red wine to induce labor back in May. Which means that was my second glass of wine in 14 months.  I probably shouldn't have had it, or should have drank it faster so there'd be the requisite 2 hours between wine intake and nursing (instead of just an hour from when I finished it), but I didn't.  I figure, I did everything right during pregnancy and my baby still got cancer - one glass of wine probably isn't going to hurt anything, right?

Dinner was actually a drug rep talk, but it was a round table discussion, which meant that after we did the business of talking about the drug, we were able to socialize.  It was all women with young children (including the woman who first gave me the idea of Finn as a name) so we had a really nice time.  It was my first dinner out without Finn since he was born, and while I missed him terribly, it was nice to go out and just be an independent adult for awhile.  I don't have any interest in going out without him on a regular basis, but once every month or so might be nice.
