Ten days...of Hell.

I wrote a whole post then Blogger ate it and then I was bitter and didn't want to write another one.  But here is a recap of what was one of the worst ten day stretch ever. 

I knew I was sick.  The kids and Lee got sick but they got over it fairly quickly.  I on the other hand was really struggling.  One Friday night in mid January I went to Olive Garden for a girls night out.  Good food and good company.  I only knew one of the girls but it was great.  I only ate less then half of my dinner which wasn't that big to start with.  Starting that night I struggled to eat and to sleep at night.  By Saturday night I knew I was sicker then I should have been but thought I would just get over it thinking it was a cold/flu thing.  Saturday was Jake's friend party at the Dart Zone and Sunday was "eight is great."  I made it through the party as well as having friends over that night.  Sunday we didn't go to Sacarment Meeting but I took the kids to primary.  After eight was great I went and slept on the couch at the church because I was just too weak to sit through class. 

Every night I was throwing up.  I had a doctor's appointment on that Tuesday in which I said that I thought it was a cold/flu but that I was doing fine. Okay slight untruth.  I really thought I would be getting better.  She was not happy after the fact.

Fast forward to Saturday when I called the on call doctor went to a class and then went to Victoria's dance performance.  I got home from the dance performance after sending Victoria to her cousin's for the night. I spoke to the oncall doctor who thought that I may have some acid reflex and suggested some medication.  He warned that it may be 2 days before things started getting better.  Sunday I was not better and Lee insisted that we go into the hospital.  My sister who had Victoria just took the other two and in we went. The doctor gave me some cough medication and antibiotics.  Monday we were back in the hospital because Lee was still feeling as though something wasn't right.  The second trip the doctor gave me a breathing treatment, inhaler and iv as well as some anti nausea meds.   Something worked and Wednesday I was back to work.  Not feeling 100% but still functioning. 

It has been almost two week and I am just now finally feeling semi normal. But that could be the pregnancy. 

I had a doctor's appointment today.  She is concerned I lost weight and breathing is still an issue.  She did something that if the baby is ready will bring on labor.  They did the same thing with Andrew and he didn't show up for another 10 days. So right now we are waiting.  Hoping the baby comes this weekend.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...
