Could it get worse


on top of the last post about Laurana losing weight, I started shivering this evening, and my right breast suddenly felt like it was going to expolode... oh you guessed it I have a blocked duct or two, and it is infected. I am running a fever over 101.5, I hurt all over, and I can't nurse my own baby right. tonight I feel like one of those big failures. She is spitting all over the place, not sleeping during the day, screaming when we put her down at night, not gaining weight, infact losing weight, I have nursed her wrong and gotten an infected booby and let my self get a temp. Brad has not slept in three days casue the moniter static sound has been keeping him up so he is tired and cranky, and Laurana seems to love spitting up copious amounts on him and not me, so since he takes things personaly when he is tired, she must not like him. and NOW because of me he has to go to lexington at 10:40 pm to get my antibiodic cause there is not a 24 hour pharmacy in Richmond. I feel like a worm making him do it but he loves me so much he is not complaining. Please if you read this tonight pray for his trip as he is really tired. And pray for me cause I am feeling pretty low right now. (on the up side I still have a beautiful baby, and the dr doesn't seem horridly worried about any of it, so even though it sucks right now It will get better.) (I posted twice right on top if each other so don't miss the next post about her weight and the plan we are going to implement.)

The spitting up thing might be acid reflux, is it like projectile? Alyssa was doing the same thing and we had to put her on medicine. The screaming and waking constantly was part of that as well. They also nurse more and get more full because it's soothing to them and then they spew again because they got too full trying to ease the acid reflux... Nasty little cycle but check it out. They do grow out of it but it takes a while, a year or so.

Taylor spewed a lot and Jacqui is too right now, my pediatrician said it's normal for the first year as long as they're not losing weight with it, so he didn't put Taylor on anything until after his first b-day. It is true that a baby will eat to settle an upset stomach even though it only makes things worse, that's why a pacifier will sometimes help. I understand Brad's irritation, it's SO aggravating when things are not fixable. He's a solutions guy and he can't solve this, this is a time thing. I'm praying for u, don't feel like a failure, I know it's so easy to get down on yourself, but this is only the beginning! lol! It's just a bump in the road and good for u for looking for the bright side to things.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
