Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes

So the weekend brought back the every 4 hours a Zofran and the sporting of my Seabands. BUT today I got this:
"Holy Crap"- Daddy
While it saddens me that Daddy can't be here to see every appointment, I know that he will be there for the big ones, and then for all the other big moments in little Squishy's life. I guess I was also more nervous than I realized during the appointment, as I broke out in a mysterious rash on my chest that alarmed all the nurses as they withdrew what felt like 10 quarts of blood! Spinal testing and Thyroid testing next week, then a 2 week follow-up and then I will officially be done with Specialist #1, and onto the next! A very big move. Mother's Day is also nearing, and we are bursting trying not to tell anyone, and while I am getting rather "showy" as my husband says " we just avoid anyone with a keen eye."

The problem we will have this week is that the Lorax cake will be delivered to a VERY keen eyed house that would be beyond elated to know the news- so thank goodness it will be nice and cool Friday so I can get away with a loose sweatshirt (*intense sarcasm, as temps reach mid 80's!*), needless to say it will be a challenge.

Uncle T said that Baby Herbert was waving, or uh giving him the finger and that his brother should be installing an elevator for me after my little trip down the stairs last night! 

I think Uncle Crisp is still hoping for that giftcard rather than a niece/nephew- but you win some you lose some there buddy! It's kinda like getting the monkey chow....

It's nice to be able to have our family know, and it;s nice to know we will have the support and love from those that don't know yet, but it still tugs at my heartstrings that there are some that SHOULD care and SHOULD know and be happy, and they don't. I've always been told that I am too trusting, to eager to think everyone has good intentions, and too often I am proven wrong. Those people know who they are, and chances are they aren't reading- because that is the type of person they are deep down. Know that I did and still do care about you, and always will, but I refuse to let you hurt me anymore. I guess pregnancy gives you a new look at things, and I wouldn't want this little one to feel hurt or be put down or ignored, so I won't allow that to happen to me either. I am seeing the good, but still being practical.

On another note, just to gush in ANOTHER direction- I would like to say I have never been more proud of my husband, he was presented with a very difficult and opportunistic thing and he looked at all angles and did what would be best for us, for him, and for everyone else- he truly is the bravest, most wonderful man I know. Just another reason I am glad to have him next to me Five years and counting.

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan

Caden William

After a short two hours in the outside world, Caden, our perfect happy little boy was taken to the nursery to get checked out and cleaned up. A nurse came in shortly to let us know that regrettably, Caden was breathing a little faster than he should have been and that he would be moved to the special care nursery (NICU) to be evaluated. Usually babies are there about 24 hours and then are good to go back to mom and the regular nursery- and he just needed a little extra attention for a few good hours.  Dad had just left to go home and shower and gather himself. I called him, still calm and collected, and still surrounded by family. I was worried sick about my little boy and my dad took me in my wheelchair later to see him in his incubator. To sit and only make contact through a little hole with your baby is about the most helpless feeling ever. His little chest was going at what seemed like a million miles a minute. The nurse explained that his box was helping regulate his oxyge

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have
