Morning girls!
It's another beautiful if miserably hot day here in our neighborhood. How's everyone doing today?
Chris, I am so glad you are getting some toothache relief. That is miserable!
Rebekah, I am sorry for the infections but glad the meds are treating you okay. Hang in there honey! I am so proud of your patience through all this, with the crazy docs you have to deal with and the bed rest and everything. You are aalready giving Amelia so much love and care and you are going to be an AWESOME mommy!
Viv, how are you doing? Water and sewer back up at least? I am SO sorry for the devastation of your town and can only imagine what it must feel like to see everything destroyed around you. I am so glad you guys are okay!
Anna, if the hip and joint pain gets worse, just take it even easier. At your stage, activity will only worsen it (because it is a ligament issue and not a muscular issue, you can't improve it with exercise). Take care and try to stay off those feet as much as you can! You are heading into the home stretch, girl! I'm so excitied for you!
Skye, I am so excited for you too!! I will say I am so thankful we dont have socialized medicine in this country and I feel so badly for what you UK and Canadian girls go through on that front. it sounds like it can be quite the battle to get the care you need. Try not to stress, and just take one day at a time!
NewMarried, welcome and ! So glad you are here with us! I know the nausea is miserable. I am so sorry you and Lava are both dealing wtih that and I rememebr very well how debilitating it can be. As I've told others, ask your doc about Zofran if you need to take something. It worked very well for me and Ethan is just perfect, so don't worry about taking it.
Lynn, CJ, Austin, and anyone else I have missed, and !
We're doing well, just trying to catch up on my "to do" list this week. Last week was kind of a bad week with not much sleep and a lot on my mind, and so I am trying to play catch up this week. Finally getting some things done that have been lingering, like sending out Ethan's birth announcements (waiting on envelopes now, so hopefully by next week... poor kid will only be 4 months when they go out LOL!) and sending out the grandmothers' photobook mothers' day gifts (I am always late with gifts, but this delay is ridiculous even by my standards! ) and catching up on cleaning up my home office, which is a disaster with sticky notes and "to do" items lingering everywhere. I'm also trying to work out more (trying barre3, has anyone else tried it?) and get some cooking in (a favorite activity of mine).
Meanwhile, the den is starting to look hilarious. It's next to the kitchen and so is where we spend a lot of our time. As Ethan grows and his range of daily activities expands, we keep adding things to the mix. Currently inhabiting this small space is a bouncy seat, a bumbo, an exersaucer, his old English pram/carriage (it's the large old fashioned kind of baby carriage and so we use as a changing station), his boppy, his playmat, and those are all in ADDITION to the regular furniture in then den (two chairs, two coffee/side tables, a couch, a TV, a large plant...). I can't walk in any direction without tripping over something! I need to take a picture of this mess so you guys can see. Just you wait! You're all next LOL!
Hope everyone has a great day!
