It's been a draining few days.
In the last 3 days I have slept only 3 hours, and that was last night. Well, technically this morning... from 3-6. I don't even feel like I'm alive right now. Jude and Shaina have both been sleeping beautifully. For some reason I just CAN'T sleep. I just lay in bed with my eyes closed all night. My body is exhausted, but my mind won't stop going.
I've also been losing my hair. I know that's normal for postpartum women, BUT it's a ridiculous amount of hair.
Which brings me to my next point. Remember that doctor that I saw, that I was bitching about. About how he was mean to me and blah blah blah. Well, I called tricare and got assigned a new PCM, and I go there on Wednesday. When I had the appointment with the other doctor he did bloodwork. They called yesterday just to tell my that my thyroid test came back 'abnormal'. The nurse wouldn't tell me anything else. She wouldn't say if it was high or low, and when I asked if I could come get a copy of the test she said that my new doctor's office had to fax a request. WTF, why can't I just go get it myself? That's stupid.
So, after doing a little research and talking to my aunt who has thyroid issues I've discovered that there is a huge range for the thyroid hormone to be considered 'normal'. So, basically, if your test comes back abnormal, then it is SERIOUSLY out of whack. A lot of people with thyroid problems will still be on the normal scale.
I guess this makes sense. I've had a lot of the symptons of having thyroid problems, but I didn't know that until after I looked it up. So, I'm going to go to the new office and fill out the form, and see the new doc on wednesday. I'm a little nervous about it.
My 'friend' Susan hosted a mom's night at her house. Kids were welcome, but I only brought Jude, because her son is REALLY mean to Shaina. He tells her he doesn't like her, takes toys from her, and pushes her. There was another little boy there last night, about the same age, and I've realized it's not just Shaina he does that too, he does it with other kids too. Susan even said last night "I discipline him when I feel like he needs to be. I'm not going to tell him not to push other kids, because kids do that." Seriously. Shaina has been uber sensitive lately, and the other day when he said he hated her she cried for 10 minutes. I thought she'd have more fun at home with daddy. I don't even know why I went last night, but I did realize how mean of a person she can be.
Now, I'm not sure if I'm going to say anything to her or not, but this is what has happened every time she sees Jude. She says something about how he looks just like Ethan, and oh poor baby, you look just like him. Then last night she told me that Ethan and I shouldn't have anymore kids because they're going to look like him. WTF. I mean I don't care if she calls my husband ugly, but it's so rude to tell your 'friend' that her baby is ugly. It's fine if she feels that way, because quite frankly, I think her kids aren't cute at all. But, was it really necessary for her to say that? Like, how did she think I was going to take that? Obviously not well.
Ethan thinks I should tell her off. If I do say anything I'm going to be nice and just let her know that it really hurts my feelings when she says that, and could she please keep her opinions about my son's/husband's looks to herself.
For the record, Ethan is WAY hotter than her husband. Period.
On another note... we went yard saling this morning. Or rather, I did, and Ethan and the kids sat in the car. lol. I don't know why he even wants to go, he refuses to get out and look. But, if he sees something he wants he tells me to buy it. Today he saw a giant patrick (from spongebob) stuffed animal, and he made me buy it for Shaina. We stopped for coffee and donuts first. mmm blueberry cake donuts.
I am down to 160 lbs, and my size 9 jeans are getting a little loose. Suhweeeeet!!!
Let's see, what else did I get... ooooh 2 brand new old navy bathing suits for Shaina, 9 shaina shirts, 2 shaina skirts, a skirt for me, 10 toys for Jude, a brand new mesh feeder (still in the package!!) for Jude to use in a few months, a babydoll carrier for shaina, a bassinet for baby dolls, a little mermaid toy in a package, a felt complete chore chart, a child's broom and dust pan, 4 shirts for me, a couple outfits for Jude, a few baby towels, and a pair of nike booties for him.
There was a kids plastic table and chairs at one for $4, but I couldn't buy it, because until we move we have nowhere to put it.
I spent $23. I had amazing luck today.
A friend of mine that I met in the mom's group unloaded her unneeded baby sutff on me. She gave me this AMAZING bouncer. It's got a mirror and mobile right above where his head it, it has speakers next to his head that plays soft music, it vibrates, and has 2 little shelves attached by his hands with 2 rattles that fit into it, and little taggies hanging off of it. It's also way higher up than most bouncers. She also gave me a rainforest platmat and mobile. Yeah, I <3333 her.
Anyway, this is all I've got. I'm to exhausted to think straight.
Oh, one more thing... Jude is going to cut a tooth any day now. I can feel the sharpness of it when I rub his gums, you can SEE it under the gum, and he has done nothing but scream for 3 weeks. lol Thank god for tylenol. THANK GOD.
