Bad News and Doctors

Last night was one of those nights.  I got a text from Lee with not so great news while he was at work.  It was news we knew would be coming but it didn't really make it easier.  Then a text from a friend saying she had been in the hospital the past several days but she didn't want to stress me out so she didn't mention it until she was out.  I told her the stress could have induced labor and she should have told me.  :) 

In five minutes I am heading to what I hope will be my final prenatal appointment.  It is so weird to me to go to my due date.  Both kids came at least a week early.  Clearly this child has other plans.  I really want to go to a party on Saturday.  So I am hoping this little boy can stay put for another 58 hours or so. 

I have lots to write about from this past weekend but I am off to doctor and then work.

The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
