Another bug bites the dust!
Emma got sick again Saturday night (well, Sunday morning). She woke up at 3:30 a.m. with a temp and by 4:00 was throwing up. Needless to say, it was a very short night.
When we got up on Sunday, she just kind of laid around. She dozed off in the chair at 10:45 and was up by 11:15 throwing up. Now, I was upstairs taking a nap, so daddy took over and tried to console her. He never came to get me….he wanted me to rest. I finally heard her at 11:50 and went and got her.
So, into our bed she went ….. not to leave again until 7:30 Monday morning! She laid down and watched some shows while I slept. At 1:00 I told her that we’d turn off the TV after “Little Bill” was over and she’d need to nap. The moment it was over she asked me to turn off the TV, she rolled over and fell sound asleep. She took a two hour nap. She did throw up a few more times Sunday afternoon, with the last time being at 5:45 p.m.
She fell asleep at 6:00 and just had a hard time getting comfortable and wanted mommy to be with her. So I spent part of my evening in bed while she fidgeted, tossed, turned and moaned. She’d sit up every now and then and mumble something and lay back down. I just felt so helpless. I wanted her to feel better, but there was nothing I could do other than hold her when she needed me and be there for her.
She continued on with being restless until about 3:30 a.m…..when she snuggled up on my pillow and fell asleep….snoring. So, then, of course, it was time for Garrett to wake up. I still am not sure what his issue was, but Tim came in and took over to rock him to get him relaxed so I could try to get a few more hours of sleep.
Lucky for me, Emma slept until about 6:40 this morning. She woke up and wanted to stay in bed and watch TV. It was only when I told her that I needed to get Garrett up and go downstairs, that she agreed and then migrated to the couch.
Finally, around 10:30, she got off the couch and played with a few toys. She still isn’t feeling well and isn’t herself. However, at least she is no longer so lethargic and sickly. That is just the worst!
I convinced her to take a shower with me to “wash off all the sickies”….and then told her we had to wash all of our bedding cuz it had sickies in it too. So she was fine with the fact that her favorite blanket had to get a bath today.
So now, Garrett is napping and I myself am extremely exhausted. I will definitely try to go to bed a little bit early tonight to try to get caught up on some of my rest. The last thing I need is for us to all be sick next weekend!
So, one healthy…one more to go. Garrett has a little cold. It isn’t too bad…and not enough to warrant a doctor’s visit by any means. But, I do want us all to be healthy on Sunday for the big ONE birthday party here!!!

Is it summer yet?
So, we had yet ANOTHER storm yesterday…ice and sleet. It is so very, very cold outside too. I normally never like to wish any time away, but I am really ready for spring (other than having to deal with allergies). The wind is just so very raw and cold……chills you right through to your bones! That makes it hard for me to want to go anywhere as I don’t want to drag my children out into this weather.
Garrett seems to be over his teething. He is eating better, pooping more normally and is sleeping through the night again!! YEAH!!!! I think that is why I don’t feel AS BAD when I wake up in the morning. I still feel a little queazy, but not NEARLY as bad as I did a couple of weeks ago. I still immediately take my zofran upon waking, cuz I just don’t even want to take a chance of being sick at ALL.
He is also trying to say more and more words…..none of them are understandable, but when I do talk to him, he really tries to babble back to me. Mama is getting a little more frequent…and not just when he is upset or something! LOL!
Emma seems to also being doing better. The other day she “growled” again and so I took away TV for an hour……..and she certainly remembers when I mention it now! LOL! She also didn’t listen and lost her TENT for one afternoon/evening. So it has gotten a little bit better. I was so tired and frustrated over her behavior that I wanted to cry most days!
Oh, and now she says that there is a baby growing in mommy’s tummy. And I ask her if it is a baby boy or girl and she always says girl……and boy do I hope that she is right!! She makes up the funniest names for the baby though! It is so sweet.
DH actually mentioned that we have to think of names again. I told him that I still love Olivia and know that he doesn’t…….he just smiled at me. Who knows….if it is a girl, maybe he’ll cave and let me name our daughter Olivia!?

It is Valentine’s Day
I can’t believe it. In two more weeks, my little baby will be one year old! The time has just flown by way, way too quickly!! He is starting to “let go” and stand unassisted…..and I know that means walking won’t be TOO far away!
Now, he isn’t really talking much at all. Sometimes, he will say mama or dada…..even ball. But not always. I love hearing those little words come from his mouth!
Our day will be pretty uneventful….no roses or candy…..just small little gifts for our children and some Zebra Cakes for daddy…….after all, he deserves them!

Minor annoyance
Things are getting back to normal after some board “issues”….however, one or two people keep finding it necessary to hack the boards I belong to. I really don’t get it. I mean, they are ALL invited to be a part of one of them, so why not just sign up.
Plus, do they really think we have nothing better to talk about than them? We have moved on and have grown up. I just wish they would too. None of us talk about any of them at all anymore. We discuss our children, TTC/Pregnancy and other things in life that are more important than smack talking about people. Oh well….guess that is thier problem, huh?

Nesting Anyone?

Sad…just so sad
I have had a lot go on in the past week. Things I really rather not write TOO much about, but a lot of things were said and done by me that do not make me proud. I have tried to apologize, but feel it is too little, too late. I hurt a lot of people I care about.
The things I said were 110% out of anger. I wish so dearly I could take them back, but I can’t. When I wrote them, never did I think that I would be betrayed BACK by someone and have them read by people they were not intended for….let alone have them shared with over 70 people. That cut to the core of me…..I have been sickened over it.
I am so sad. I have apologized and I know that people will forgive if they want to and I can’t make them do that. In time, I need to forgive myself for doing the things I did. It was wrong. I can not deny it. There is no turning back. I am just saddened all the way around.
Even worse……
Well, here it is, 2 am and I am on line updating my blog. My cough woke me up. Now, it actually has finally subsided, but I am also sitting up. Guess you know where I will be sleeping tonight!!!
My left eye has also joined the sickly ranks. Every time I drift off, when I wake up, I have to pry it open as it becomes matted shut. Needless to say, it is time to call the doctor and go in and see if she can give me something.
The thing that worries me is being 7 weeks pregnant and medicines. There are so many things that I can’t take, that I fear “what if I can’t take anything”. What if I am getting something serious? I just want to feel better…..and each day, I keep taking one step backwards.
I really wanted to go to the doctor on Monday, but I took Garrett in for his checkup and they were running so far behind that I did not have the heart to make my children sit in a waiting room again during the day…..kids can handle only so much sitting around and waiting.
Tim doesn’t know it yet, but he is going to have to stay home from work and drive me cuz my eyes really hurt and driving is probably not the best thing for me to do right now. Plus, he can stay in the waiting room with the kids and I can go back on my own. I just want to feel good again……..this is getting so very, very old.

Can’t this just stop?
My cough is making me miserable. Garrett shared his virus with his mommy. Thursday of this week Tim had to come home from work and take care of the kids cuz I was just way too sick. Now, I have sinus congestion which is draining and making me sick to my stomach and providing me with this “lovely” little cough. I was glad to get at least some sleep last night. I took my robitussun at 9:00 and then was up again around 2:00 for another dosage.
Now, we are suppose to have a superbowl party today and we’ll probably go ahead with it because it will be just 3 adults and 2 children (well….3….but Gabriel won’t be eating anything). I don’t have to make too much to get ready and just hope that maybe, JUST maybe, I can feel a little bit better than I do right now.
What sucks the most is that when you are pregnant, you can’t take any of the “good stuff” you normally would to help make you feel better. So, you are kind of “on your own.” So, that normally means that it is off to the doctor’s office you will go…….so I am sure that is where I will be heading tomorrow afternoon cuz I am just not sure about being able to fight this on my own anymore.
