SO!  I, um, got into the whole FB thing and forgot I have an actual BLOG.  Then someone's birthday reminder alerted me to the fact that my inbox here at LiveJournal was packed and then I got a peek back at our lives before my meds got tweaked and Greg graduated.  Praise God for our lives now!  God have mercy on parents alone far from family ( Read more... )

Well, it has not gotten any better.  Greg has climbed back up on that dreaded horse named "French" and ridden it fairly well.  The final is tomorrow (yes, Saturday) at 8:30.  He'd burn the books in the quad, but doesn't want lynched.  Last final is Wednesday, and then he gets to walk at commencement on June 9, 1012.  He's got two more classes to ( Read more... )

So, I logged into my NEWO weight and exercise tracking software today for the first time this year.  First thing I see is My Goal - which I set mid-second trimester last year: "No more than 200 before year end. Water-water-water! Calm, restful, reduce stress... somehow."  Success!  I didn't break 200 until this week!  Woot-woot ( Read more... )

Well, I'm pretty much done working, now. Maybe a couple of half-days to train the girls on the one thing only I know how to do, but I spent Thursday at Overlake Hospital following another SVT incident Wednesday evening that started at about 7:20PM. It was actually the third this week, but unlike Monday and Tuesday night, I didn't convert ( Read more... )

Your Baby This Week

Now that your baby weighs about 3 pounds (1.3 kg) and measures about 17 inches (43 cm) in length, you're beginning to feel like your tummy will pop if she keeps growing!

Your little cherub is starting to look more like a chubby little cherub, ( Read more... )

Aw, my poor hubby.  We're starting to think this is a flu.  Fever, indigestion and the worst sore throat evar!  Becca doesn't appear to have caught it (yet) and I've been careful ever since we knew it was happening.  :-P  Of course, his emmisions are so foul, no sane human would get too close anyway.  :-S  Must get the bathroom spotless in case he ( Read more... )

Whew.  I got home to find my poor darling sick as a dog.  Becca was a sweetie, so he could doze and I could give rubses.  Men sick are soooo pathetic, but it sure sparks my mommy-mode, so I guess I don't mind.  I've been pathetically sick often enough to know all I wanted was someone to take care of me when I'm feeling so awful, so I'm glad I could ( Read more... )

Today was painful.  It seems the ache in my heart has spread to my bones.  Lying, sitting, standing - all hurt somehow.  I haven't stretched like I said I would, haven't walked even slowly today like my doctor said I could.  My blood test came back with normal white counts, so I don't have an infection.  Maybe a good stretch and a walk with shake ( Read more... )

Just woke up after napping.  Was planning on just dozing until 2:30 and then meeting the funeral director at 3:00, but... well, realized I'd slept a full sleep cycle, and called, late, to reschedule.  The sleep was good.  Eating now, though I got all the way to add 1/4 cup milk in the mac'n'cheese recipe to discover that the dab we have left has ( Read more... )

Home again from the hospital.  Physically doing quite well, though planning to sleep for a coupla days straight ( Read more... )
