mah poor honey...
he's a sick old bear today. think he's got strep throat. gonna try to convince him to let me take him to the emergency room at the indian hospital tonight so he can get a shot o' penicillin in the bum-bum. that way, he will be sprung back to life by the time he's gotta go to work tomorrow night at 7. he's been sleeping practically all day long...hasn't eaten much, either.
i'm coming down with something, too...although i rarely get strep (had it once in my life), mine just feels like an upper respiratory infection with a touch of head cold. i just finished my coarse of antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, and think that extra crap in my system has helped reduce the impact the gunk has had on me. if i start feeling worse, gonna call the doctor, 'cause i am just over a week away from my c-section, and i don't want to be sick around my newborn baby.
my middle sister brandy is coming down the 29th with her family. my nephews are excited about having a new cousin...they are such good kids. i just realized about a day ago that this will be my oldest sister tracy's first niece. lol, i never realized she has only nephews. lots of family planning to be here, especially from nate's side. he's got a large close-knit family. my family is pretty much just my mom, step-dad, sisters and their families. everyone else i don't really know or don't talk to anymore. nate's side...oh my, if everyone who is planning on being there is there? the hospital might need to make a bigger boat, lol.
i can't wait to breastfeed. my body is producing colostrum already, i keep leaking it..mostly when i put on a new shirt, haha. i am scared about the nurses being cruel, but i am ready to be a bitch. i don't want them to give lena a bottle or binky, nor do i want them to try to help me latch baby to my breast. weird? i dunno, i want her to have a chance at breastfeeding without it being disrupted and/or traumatizing her. if all goes well, i want to try to breastfeed for at least a year, if not two. i would love to be able to let lena ween herself from the booby, but the usa is kinda fickle on stuff like this...legally, no one can say or do anything, but i am sure there are those who would try.
i was almost panicky a few weeks ago about being a new mom. although i am still nervous, i am so ready to meet my first baby. i am so ready to get the party started. i am ready for my life to change.
