I know that tbt, or throwback Thursday is a thing, but I feel like I have seen more posts under this title than usual. Apparently I’m going to be the last one to post something relevant, but I was out in the morning, home with the littles in the afternoon, and out again in the evening. Only now am I finally home with two sleeping littles. So, prepare for a couple throwback photos, and a current today post.
This is very little Hailey. Circa 1990-ish. I got my first pair of glasses at one and a half years old. I had the same eye surgery as Dekker when I was only nine months old, with complete success. That is, until I turned eighteen months old and fevered hard enough for my eyes to cross again. C’est la vie. Therefore, I was given the smallest glasses my parents could find across two provinces.
This is a throwback for both Brady and I! We’ve certainly come a long way! These are the last pair of glasses I wore. This was taken in April 2007, when Brady and I were newly dating. It was in November of the same year that I took my glasses off when I went in to have my appendix removed, and just never put them back again.
Six and a half years later…
So, in all honesty, if I have to wear glasses again, these are the coolest ones. I love them. But I’m struggling a little bit getting past the fact that my break from glasses is over. Probably forever. Too bad! It was quite a shocker to put these on today. I didn’t feel safe on my feet. Everything bends and seems to be in the wrong place. However, my prescription is lower than it was when I stopped wearing glasses, so I’m happy about that, and confident that the numbers on these lenses are right. It’ll just take a few days to adjust. No headaches yet, so thats a bonus!
While I’m bummed that I’m back in glass, its ok. Its not an uncommon thing, and I can’t do anything to make it different! Now, we just keep praying that Laela’s eyes are in good health. I am weirdly anxious about that appointment, and its still over a month away.
Enough about that. Yay for throwback Thursday and hipster glasses?!
