It has been a little bit of a rough week for Haws and I. Nothing too bad... just a few set backs. First, Haws wasn't feeling too hot on New Years day. We just thought it was just him being a little run down and not looking forward to going back to work after the holidays. Turns out... he had an ear infection, went to the Doc and got some antibiotics. The next day when he was leaving for work he realized his breaks were not working and had to tow his car to work. Long story short... he car was fixed and tuned up for a nice price of course and his ear infection got worse. He had a different type of ear infection and had to go back to the Doc to get different meds. He was told he needed the brand name drugs... not cheap either. He is starting to feel better, but still a little out of it. In the mean time, I have been waking up for the past month with my hands a sleep and then tingling through out the day. So I went to the Doc to find out that first of all... I am not pregnant (not something I was expecting) but that I sleep in a way that cuts off my carpal nerve and may result in future carpal tunnel syndrome. To prevent the condition, I know get to sleep in these fancy wrist braces. 
This is what I look like getting ready to hit the sack. Notice the comfy looking "snuggle wrap" given to me by Taeler. It is super cuddly, but I need to ask Taeler how to put it on right. I accidentally tossed the directions and have just been using it as a blanket. Still... it is great!
That is it for our medical updates in case you were wondering :)

You look like a modern day version of a catapillar - human form. The wrist gruards - that is hot! I just hope while sleep you don't have any wild dreams and beat up Haws; he would come out pretty bruised.
Wow; sorry you guys are having it so rough. Jared actually thinks he has carpal tunnel for the same reason; he sleeps with an arm/hand under his head and lately is getting tingling and numbness in a couple of fingers. Not sure he would agree to wear the braces, though...
I hope you two are feeling better. Is the carpal thing related to your hands being cold? Hope you are sleeping better. Take care!
I love the comments! Carrie- that is exactly the look I was going for! Sarah- tell Jared the braces aren't so bad and I can sleep just fine with them. It's better than needing surgery in the future. Nancy- I don't think it is related to my raynauds phenomenon although that can lead to my hands And my feet going numb. But that is when I am cold. I am a bundle of fun aren't I?
Oh man I am so sorry, Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of my biggest fears as a hygienist. How do you sleep so this happens? Also did you say you weren't expecting to NOT be pregnant? or not expecting to be pregnant? just have to push my nose in others business :o)
Bree... I sleep with my hands tucked up under my body, cutting of my carpal nerve. Plus... all the pilates and yoga I do where I am on my hands isn't helping my any. And to clarify... I was expecting NOT to be pregnant and was thankful to the next two tests being negative. At least for now...
Oh sad! Get used to it...I totally have carpal tunnel from being pregnant...the good thing is though that its only the last couple of months and then it goes away...hopefully! Milk it...and get a house cleaner and a chef :)Fun seeing you guys at Christmas...and hope Haws feels better soon!
That makes sense with all the yogi, I bet that can be hard on your wrist and arms (hard it that good way) I am very excited for you guys to have a baby, but I wont bug you too much (I am the LAST one with room to talk about baby timing!)
At least you don't have to wear the braces during the day...only at night. Bummer about Haas's ear infection. It is NO FUN being sick!
You look hot in those!
