My grandpa passed away this morning. He had severe Alzheimer's so I had already said my goodbyes to him somewhat, but it is hitting a lot harder than I expected. It truly is a blessing that he is gone since he was in pain. His liver started failing which lead to really bad jaundice. He had a full life. The man was 90. I woke up this morning ( ( Read more... )

It's been a while, so I thought I'd so a bit of an update. Things with the pregnancy are going ok. The contractions have stopped, but I am still limiting myself on what I can do. Now that the warm weather is here, my feet are swelling up a lot more. I need to watch how much salt I eat. Most nights now I feel like my feet are on fire and the ( Read more... )

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday. No signs of actual pre-term labor, so that is good. I had my feet up last night and all this morning so far. Not a single contraction. So that is good too. I am so thankful that Laura plays so well on her own. For close to half an hour now, she has been sititng and reading books. Robert and I need to ( Read more... )

I hate feeling like this. Today has been horrible. I ended up crashing from 10-1 and then rested again 2-3. I haven't done much all day. I've been trying to sit or lay most of the day. Tonight contractions started again. Drinking water hasn't helped. I'm going to make an appointment to see my doctor in the morning. My back is aching a lot ( Read more... )

I'm awake at 1 in the morning. I actually woke up about an hour ago. I had a dream that we had gotten Robert's iPod back, but alas it was just a dream. I don't want to say I've totally given up hope of getting it back, but I'm less optimistic each day. Hopefully we'll get the subpoena written up today (Friday) so we can get the subscriber's ( Read more... )

Things turned around after my post this morning. I started feeling better after my cup of coffee. I don't recall if I ever ate breakfast or not. Not that big of deal to me. Laura and I had a good morning together. She was NOT happy when I dropped her off at daycare though. Helen said that she cried a lot and just was not happy until it was ( Read more... )

It is almost 7am. I am already not looking forward to today. I woke up with a headache and my hip hurting. I could have slept in again today, but my body clock woke me up and Robert scratched me with his toe nails. We are supposedly doing a going away pizza party for me at work today, but the person who's house we are going to was out sick ( Read more... )

We are back home from my parents'. It was a good visit, like usual. We didn't have any pressing business to take care of, so it was just a quiet, relaxing weekend away. Laura did pretty well. Going to bed at night was a bit of a challenge, but it is anytime we are in a different place. Saturday night went much better than Friday ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a good day. I had to get up early and be out the door shortly after 7 so I could be in Eau Claire in time for the test. I want to apply for my job permanently, and in order to do so, I had to go take a civil service exam. It was challenging in parts, but I think I did well overall. I got home and Robert and I exchanged cards/gifts ( Read more... )

Wow, what a birthday. I wake up sick so I called into work. I did get a 1.5 hour nap this morning. Laura still went to daycare. She and Robert are now home. She has a fever of 101.4. Not sure what is up with that. We gave her Tylenol so hopefully that will come down soon. I'm feeling ok. Still not great. I am really tempted at this point ( Read more... )
