Next, my kids have been SICK!! Yeah it has been a long and nasty winter in this house.. Which is very uncommon for us!! Natalie had strep, and Nathan was just in the ER Sunday night/early Monday morning! He was tested for strep, checked for pneumonia, had his ears checked, they tested his blood, and then Monday late morning we were back at the clinic and he had his urine tested! Everything came back negative and no one can figure out why my little guy has had a fever of 104 degrees! While we were in the ER they gave him a couple of shots of Roseffin (sp).. That sure made him feel better!!! He has been talking and crawling and playing like normal again! He finally spent the past two nights in his crib, something he hasnt done in almost two long weeks! And yes, I said CRAWLING! Nathan is crawling all over the place and he even stands himself up on boxes and the couch and anything else he can!
Then, little Miss Lillian has finally started getting her I-teeth (the fangs as some of you might call them)! All four of them all at once! She has had a fever and has been very tired and irritable to say the least! I cant say I blame the poor thing though! I guess its better that she is getting all four of the most painful teeth to get at once rather then one right after the other and dragging the pain on..
Joe is now officially a Ziegler employee.. He got his handbook, his review, and some plaque with their mission statement on it.. His boss also is already talking to Joe about the change to second shift.. Brad, his boss, said that he is thinking this fall would be a good time for Joe to go to second shift. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Excited because I will have daddy's help during the day when doctor appointments need to be done and when I have my MOPS meetings because then even when one kid is sick, I can still go because daddy will be home to watch them! :) Scared because it is something completely new to us. Scared because we wont have been in our house very long and I am not sure about one of the neighboors.. Joe and I were just actually talking last night about purchasing a hand gun and me taking the gun safety course and the handgun course with Joe when he takes that. A.) it will help me have a sense of security for the nights when Joe is at work and B.) the gun safety course is something I have always wanted to do and now this gives me a perfectly good reason to do it!
Now that I have chatted about everyone in the family but myself, I will start...
I have been super stressed lately.. with the house shopping, and family issues and some health issues.. You now know about the house excitement.. I cant get into much detail about the family issues but I can say that my parents are getting a divorce (it has been a long time coming I think).. Next, my health issues.. I have been having problems every since Nathan was born with my cycles. Heavy and terrible labor like pains.. I went to the doctor in January to a guy I dont normally see and his solution was to put me on birth control. I left his office and havent gone back. I didnt want a solution for preventing babies jack ass! I wanted a solution for my terrible pains that put me in my bed a few days out of the month! So.. I have let it go on for February, March, and now April and I have had it! I kid you not, not even my left over Vicodin (from the wisdom tooth being extracted) could ease the pains! I finally worked up the nerves and contacted my cousin who recently went through Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma! I was afraid to at first because I know that she went through a HUGE ordeal and had to give up some very important things. But I needed someone to talk to that might know what I was going through. Turns out she sort of went through the same things.. I now have a doctor appointment with my OB/GYN tomorrow afternoon and am going to bed and plead with her to do a D&C and hope that that will help with my pains. I also want them to biopsy and watch for growth of everything that comes out of me. Who knows, maybe it is just that something was left behind after the birth of Nathan, but maybe its something more? Or maybe its nothing at all and I am just a worry wart!! I would honestly prefer that, but the pains are not normal and everyone including doctors that I have talked to have said that. So.. hopefully I can get some more answers tomorrow and even through next week. If my primary Dr cant give me any answers, I will be going to the U of M and working with them on solving this..
There you have it..! A full family update!
