I’ve realized if I stay off my feet and dont lift Bo more than 2 times day then my back feels not so bad and I dont contract.  Since monday of this week I’ve been waking up w/ a sore throat and ended up throwing up once a day at least.  as the week wore on I have felt worse and worse,I was up last night coughing up a lung and woke up w/ my face hurting, I soon realized my sinuses hurt, really hurt.  My MIL arrived late last night and my mom was coming this morning to hang out since she had the day off. We had plans to go to Sams club to get a joint membership then out to lunch for my birthday, which is on the 17th but she had today off so we were celebrating today.  i took some cold meds this morning and it wore me out, I was so tired but my pain went away some.  as the meds wore off I couldnt beleive how bad my sinuses hurt so knowing I had two grandmas here to help w/ the kids I thought I’d take my chances with calling me drs office on a Friday afternoon for an appt, luckily they got me in and for once in forever I actually got a prescription for something!! I’m hoping it helps cause I feel crappy and dont want to spend my birthday weekend miserable. Dean got home a little early from work and he and the kids and MIL went to the library and to the grocery store. Right now they’re making dinner, moms(my MIL) infamous potato salad and fried shrimp.  i feel bad she’s watched the kids and is making dinner during her visit but I feel so bad I really cant do much to help.  I’ve been on my feet a lot today so I slept when they all went to the library and store and it helped some. Tomorrow evening Dean and I have tickets to a play so we’ll get a much needed date night!  I stocked up on scrapbook supplies and ordered prints of 100 digital pics online thinking earlier this week thinking if I have to be in bed resting due to the contractions I could at least be productive but w/ this sinus pain I dont feel up to much so hoping these meds kick in,it’s one pill a day for 5 days so I’m guessing it’s strong stuff.  I was so glad the dr actually gave me meds!!! it was the same dr who last time this pregnancy wouldnt give me anything for my cold, but this is one killer sinus infection so i’m guessing thats why he did this time.
In non health related news, we’re picking up a toddler bed that someone put on sale on craigslist tomorrow for just $30. the pic looks really nice. we had gotten a used crib from someone since we thought we’d need one for transition since bo will still be little when baby boy # 3 arrives, but this week bo has been attempting climbing out of his crib so I’m not sure if we’ll use the second crib or not.  Caleb never tried the climbing out the crib thing as I know lots of kids do, and Bo is quite the climber so looks like he might be ready sooner than later for a toddler bed. So we’re going to get one since we’ll need one down the line for baby boy #3 at that point I’m hoping we’ll get bunk beds for the bigger boys and the littlest will get the toddler bed.   and for $30 thats not so bad. we have decided to keep the new baby in our room for a while and worry about moving Bo to calebs room after that, not sure how that will go but who knows.  We really never thought we’d get pregnant so soon considering how long it took to concieve the first two so the fact this kid happened still amazes me, so I never truly would have planned to have two so close together but the more I think about it the older they get that it will actually be nice.  But theres so many aspects of two little ones that I dont know how I’ll deal with, and it scares me to think about it.   I’m sure I’ll be fine.  They say adjusting to two kids from one kid is hard but I think it was harder to go from no kids to one kid. So i’m guessing this will be just another transition and we’ll be ok. but I’m sure as far as how it will effect the whole family unit this might be the most altering. it will be interesting but each day as bo seems to becoming so much more of a bigger boy the more excited I am that we’ll have another baby in the house again. Today I entered the 3rd trimester, another exciting yet scary thought.   of course as the other two pregnancies go, this is always the worst part of the pregnancy and if today is any indication then it ought to be a lot of fun! who knows maybe I’ll pass that dumb glucose test tomorrow…yeah right.   wish me luck anyway, at least that I dont start my morning throwing up before I even get to the lab as I have every day this week.
