Wisdom from my walk

all week long i just felt off, like I was starting to get sick.  Knowing Dean would be gone all weekend he came home early Thursday to let me rest, and I slept for a few hours that afternoon.  He was off yesterday, we went to breakfast then to the grocery store.   I rested some before we had to get Caleb to the dr and then we went out to lunch.  While at lunch i started to feel bad again, with the addition of a sore throat.    Sure enough i was up most of the night coughing, throwing up, or in general discomfort from back pain.    When I was sleeping Bo would wake me because he’s miserably sick too.    Why couldnt thtis have happened while Dean was still home!!

the forecast is calling for significant snowfall today but right now it’s sunny and looks ok out.    Caleb survived his scabies treatment but we wont know how effective it was for about a week.  I did bleach and wash all of his sheets from last night again just to be sure.   Bo’s rash is still nasty and making him miserable, it’s not helping that the antibiotic he’s on is giving him an upset tummy so more messy diapers means more diaper changes and one unhappy little boy.   Caleb is already going stir crazy and I barely have a voice to talk let alone yell at him for his behavior.  For once I cant wait for the weekend to be over!

I emailed my dr because my levels were off this morning but not sure if he’ll respond since it’s Saturday. Hoping its just because I’m sick.   I know I feel like crap I cant imagine how it affects the baby.

well I need to find something to occupy the kids before we all go nuts.

Bo has an ear infection and a yeast infection.   I have been feeling bad all week not sure from what though.   I made Bo nap before 10 am today so I could rest so I’d have energy to take him to his 12:15 drs. appt.  I laid down but as like the last few nights i was so miserable I couldnt sleep so I just laid there.  i took Bo to the dr, my mom met me there so she helped w/ lifting him which was nice.  On the way home from the dr I picked up Dean from work because as bad as i was feeling I knew I wouldnt be able to keep up w/ both boys once Caleb was home.  So we stopped at the pharmacy to fill Bo’s meds and conveniently next door is a chinese place so we picked up some for our late lunch.   Came home eat, dean went to get Caleb, now he and the boys are heading to Barnes & Nobles to give me time to rest.  dean knows I cant sleep w/ the kids here since every little noise wakes me, I’m just hoping I’m tired enough to sleep through the discomfort I’m having.  I cant decide if it’s a stomach bug making my stomach hurt or contractions but it’s painful and I’ve made myself eat today only because I have to due to the insulin.  Dean is off of work tomorrow so he’ll take caleb to the dr for a rash on his feet that he has then head off to the mens retreat w/ church.   So I knew i needed to get some rest in before he’s gone for a few days.    So between the boys and I we’ve had drs appts every day this week but yesterday, I saw the endo on Monday, the ob on Tuesday, nothing Wed. , Bo saw the pediatrician today as will Caleb tomorrow.  thank god we have a medical flexible spending acct!!!   I told the pharmacist we’ll probably be back tomorrow for something for the other kid, I was at the pharmacy on Tuesday for my meds.  Hopefully after tomorrow no appointments til my next scheduled ob one complete w/ biophysical profile(glorified ultrasound for high risk folks) and non stress test, all of which is next Thursday, also a day Dean took off of work.  Well i better get in a nap while the house in quiet, too bad there are noisy kids outside, at least the guys renovating the house 2 doors down seem to have vanished for the afternoon.   they start so early it’s annoying, so I’m hoping they took a long lunch or something!

So if anyone is interested and doesnt heed the title well then I apologize…. Continue reading →
