Another Trip to the Pediatrician

I'm glad Everitt's getting a little better.  I'm sure you more than know...when your babies are crying and your exhausted & hormonal...we cry right along with them...which freaks out DH big time. 

I'm doing OK.  Finishing up my 2WW after the IUI.  I should know by this weekend one way or the other if it worked.  It'd be a nice father's day gift...but I'm not very optimistic for whatever reason. 

Jo, it really adds to depression when our children are sick, you are not getting any help, and you have a newborn. Riley was a fussy baby and that first year was hard but it went by fast. I hope all the kids get better soon. Do you have a fenced yard where the older ones can play outside? I swear Reagan and Riley are so much easier now that we can go outside. I have to be out with them of course so nothing can get done inside but it does make for happier children.

Thanks Jennifer! Was Paul working midnights when Riley was a baby? Though I don't see Nate more than 15 minutes a day, at least he isn't home trying to sleep during the day.

Our yard isn't fenced, but I do get the kids out every day and then again when I go for an early evening walk. Emma is dealing with jealously right now and that just aggravates Ethan. We'll get through it and thankfully Everett's ears seem a bit better today.

Hugs,

You have a big heart and and you're going to feel everything for your babies.  Hang in there.

Thanks, Jennifer!

Oh sweetie!!! I am soooooooooooooo sorry and wish I were there to give you a hug.....I feel the same way and often.....I had to take Nathan back to pedi yesterday....his wheezing is just too much....they put him on a oral steroid and upped his pulmocort to double the dose....it breaks my heart.....he has had two ear infections too....and feel guilty that I am at work for about 10 hours a day then pick him up.....I know there is somewhat of an end in sight as Nate will be here with me soon but it is sooooooooo hard....my house is a disaster, Nate is flying in tomorrow to take care of Nathan as I have to travel for work for 4 days.....feeling guilty about that but I know by working (not only because I have to) I am aiding to his future and our lives....so, I am so there with you....I am so blessed by Nathan and am thankful that he is so happy....just wish he felt better.....

Please send BIG hugs from Nathan and I to Everett and a big huge huge huge hug for you!!!!!!

Oh Ann, I'm so sorry that Nathan is still having respiratory issues! But at least you know (from my experience with Everett) that it isn't just kids in daycares that are ill, meaning Nathan would likely be dealing with this even if you were a SAHM!

How was your business trip? Sucks that you couldn't spend those four days with DH, but I hope you get some time together when you're back.

And you're going through all of this while working FT and single parenting! I'm such a schmoo for complaining when I really don't have it that bad.

Thanks for the kind words, dear!

Hugs,

Rant all you need to... I think we all have those days at times when it comes to our little ones...

Zander is teething I believe and has been running fevers a lot it seems... I feel so bad for him right now... He's been running low grade fevers all week and is so fussy at times... He hasn't cut one yet but I think its coming soon... I could just sit and cry when he does... So I know how you feel there... It's hard on mommies too!!

I hope Everett starts feeling much better soon! EI's are tough on kiddos for sure... My thoughts are with you all right now and hope that everyone can become healthy soon in your house... Hang in there!!!

Thanks so much, Chelle! There's always something to worry about or feel heartache over once we are moms. Thankfully Everett seems to be feeling a bit better today and so am I.
Did Zander's tooth finally come in? Ethan seemed to suffer a lot with teething pain whereas Emma didn't really seem bothered by it. I hope he's feeling better soon!

Hugs,

Nope, no teeth yet... Still awaiting that to happen... He's periodically running a low grade temp and seems annoyed when chewing on things... I don't see anything in there close to the surface yet though....

I'm glad Everett is feeling better... It's definitely rough as a mom sometimes, especially when they are so small and can't come out and tell you something is wrong....
