Appts n more

Well I have my official nurse visit on May 8th and then my true 1st ob appt on May 15th. I am excited and cant wait. I am really wondering what the doctors face is going to be like when he sees me again. I am going to be seeing for my 1st appt the doctor that delivered Thad haha! My morning sickness is horrible. Since I can't keep anything down at all I am actually gaining weight because my body thinks its being starved. Lovely! Zofran is helping with it but i still cant eat much.

Sabrina has an appt now at Riley for a kidney ultrasound. I just can't seem to get my kids to get from there. I know she is scared that the ultrasound is going to hurt. I am trying to tell her it won't but i guess i will have to show her and be there for her when she has it.

Osiris has his 18 month check-up. Doctor said he is slightly concerned with his speak. So he has labeled him for right now as midly speech delayed. He is thrilled though with is ability to climb on everything and anything. So I guess we are praying that Osiris will learn to speak better by his 2yr check-up.

Aja is awaiting results of her test she had done last week. we should know the results of it by the end of may.

Thad is concerning me because he always wants to sleep again. He is not rolling over, he won't lay on his belly without a fit. The doctor is not concerned yet since Thad is a big growing boy. I am trying to work with him more. He is just so stiff its hard to move him sometimes.

Company Gone

I enjoy the help I receive from my dad and step-mom, but it throws the kids into total chaos mode. I am sure this happens with all kids who don't see grandparents too often. They really spoiled the girls and they loved it. Grandma was just overly excited and loving with Osiris and Thaddeus. The boys loved the attention, Thaddeus was all over grandma's loving, hugs, and kisses. It was sweet.

Aja starts her diet tracking tomorrow. This should be interesting.

not much to say tonight this time.

my morning sickness is really kicking my arse and im just so tired and want to hurl so badly.

Poor Aja

I got a phone call today from Riley hospital. I wasn't home so Rick took a message for me. I guess they want me to do a complete detail log of everything she eats, drinks, and everything I use to make the food for 3 days. So if the chicken has pam spray on it from the baking dish i have to list that. Then after that the day(here comes the TMI.. warned!) I will have then take some collections for testing. I feel so bad for her. She was so excited thinking she was done down there. i was excited to be done with the trips. I will just pray for a safe trip again n back like I always do. They are going to do another blood draw also once we are done with the collection process. I feel so bad for her. She is being okay active wise but there are times when she just wants to do nothing but lay down. I guess we will see what God has planned for her and the outcome of all of this.

The grandparents are in town visiting with the kids. My dad and step-mom drove in from AZ and are staying with us for about a week. The kids are excited. I am excited to maybe see if I can get them to babysit for a few hours so Rick and myself can go out alone haha! They don't get to see the kids often. Infact the last time they were in town was when I was pg with Osiris. They left and then a week and a half later he was born. They are just loving on the grandkids and enjoying it. I am going to make them a cd of all the pics we currently have of the kids so they can take it back with them. My step-mom does scrapbooking so this will give her something to help pass the time once she gets back home.

Sabrina's teacher had her baby on April 10th. Sabrina got to go visit the teacher and baby in the hospital, they were both excited. The teacher had her 1st c-section out of 4 kids. The baby was 10lbs 15ozs 21 1/2 inches. So she was a good size. I took her teacher dinner yesterday because i know how hard it can be to make supper when you get home after having a c-section and you have 3 other kids. I took her some chicken n noodles, real mashed potatoes, a fresh loaf of bread, brownies, and a jug of our water since we have RO water and she is living off bottle water.

Osiris and Thad are doing well. I go next Tuesday for my ultrasound and I am excited and scared!

Welp I hear Osiris crying because he is ready for bed so ta-ta for now.

High-risk

I am back on lovenox this pregnancy. So I will be a high-risk pregnancy. The only plus side really is instead of waiting a month for a visit I will be going in every 2-3wks for awhile, once i start seeing the doctor. Insurance is not wanting to pay for the Lovenox. I have 10 syringes left from last year so I will start with those while we wait for the insurance to either pay, deny, or replace the lovenox with something similar and they will pay for.

Osiris is still sick. He is silly. He is so sleepy. He is rocking himself back n forth on the couch and falling asleep while he does it. he stops moving and sleeps for about 5 minutes, wakes up n starts the process again. Its so cute.

Sick

I have a sinus infection! Ugh it sucks! I have some antibotic and just got it so hoping it starts working soon. I normally got a sinus infection before at about 10wks pg. So either im further along (which i dont feel can be possible since a blood pg test on Feb 27th was negative) then something else has to be going on.

Osiris has a cold and is mr. cranky-pants. He can't sleep for too long. I feel so bad. We will prolly end up sleeping on the couch together tonight. I'll sit up n hold him as we both sleep. I might call to get him into the doctor to make sure its nothing too bad. Heck he might has a sinus infection who knows. He barely wants to eat much or drink so i guess it really is possible.

Thaddeus doesn't seem to have any signs of anything yet. He's just still sleepy from his shots on Thursday. I am keeping an eye on him because I am worried about him getting a cold.

The girls are on spring break down at my moms. Their dad is a moron! I guess Aja has a cold. He knew he was only going to have them one night but she'd still have her cold. So instead of buying her medicine to take with her to my moms, he gives her alil some of what he had there and sends her grandma's with no medicine! Ugh!!! Sometimes I just really want to smack him or kick him really hard where it'd count haha!

Okay I guess time to take my snot fountain to a hot shower haha!

Doctors Office Confirmed

I had the doctors office do a pregnancy test today and it was confirmed "+". The nurse said it came back positive so quickly. haha! The doctor made a joke, "well he is 4 months so i guess it is about time *chuckle*." Rick is still in shock. We have decided this is it. I am not going to get anything permanent but I will have a Mirena IUC placed at the 6 wk check up after this baby is born. I will be due in Dec. Roughly going to say somewhere between Dec 9th thru Dec 18th. Somewhere in there. Won't know an exact date until I have an ultrasound done. the surgeon for my gallbladder removal decided that it would be best to wait to remove it after i deliver the baby.

Thaddeus had his 4 month check-up done today and he did well. He seems to have lost 2 inches in head circumference (sp?), the doctor said he thinks someone measured it wrong before. Thad weighed in at 17lbs 8ozs and 25 1/2 inches. He got his shots and did really well. He only cried for the second one because it burned going in. He stopped crying once the needle was taken out. He did well. He is sleeping now.

Spring break is next week for the girls are excited. I am too because it means i dont have to get up at 7am unless i want to because the boys are up haha!

confirming tomorrow

Tomorrow I will have a doctors office confirmation on this but I did 2 HPT's at home today and both came back positive. one was a clearblue digital "PREGNANT" and the other EPT lines "+". I will have doctor confirm tomorrow. I have so many questions and concerns. I have placed several calls already this morning.

Help Me... hehe

1 week i will be having surgery. I am excited for the pain to go away, but scared out of my wits because there has only been twice in my life i've been out for something. 1 was my tonsils removed and 1 was when i had an ulcer check done. Neither one was after high school so my mom was always there waiting for me when I was done and comforting me. Now i am an adult and honestly im scared. I also have a freak out during something major and I am scared of what i will say or do before they get me knocked out for this.

Sabrina has another after school dentention tomorrow. She is not doing her school work or listening to the teacher. I have no idea what is going on and she won't talk to me. I am almost tempted to cry over all of this.

Aja had a field trip on Monday and oh man she had fun. She went to a healthworks museum which teaches kids how to keep their bodies healthy. She played on the slide mainly but she had a blast going down the slide off n on for pretty much 90mins haha!

Osiris went along on the field trip and he had a blast on the lightboard. they had a section of the floor that did a light show n osiris was in love haha. He had a blast though, came home n took a 3hr nap hehe.

Thaddeus goes on Friday for his 4 month check-up. I can't believe its that time already. It feels too soon for that but yet feels like he is older than that. hehe i am so weird i know.

I am ready for #5 to start now, but not going to rush it or try, just let it happen when it happens.

My nephew was born last friday, weighing in at 7lbs 10ozs and 19 inches long. I will get to see him Easter Saturday when I go pick up the girls from my mom and stepdads. While on the phone with my mom as she was telling me the details of his birth, her and i laughed at something. My oldest nephew will be 3 in sept, osiris will be 2 in october, thad will be 1 in nov, and so far no birth in dec. so 3,2,1,0 haha! Intersting yet kind of creepy at the same time.

I ordered some Lactate support to help with my nursing. I am not ready to admit defeat yet. I want to give it one last hooraw and see what happens.

I will be having a yard sale sometime soon to sell some of my deal goodies. I have loads and well wont charge an arm or leg for it. Im going to sell it cheap so i can help others and make a lil profit on it.

well i guess for now that alls i have to say/write/tell.

Few Things

Well I have my surgery scheduled for 4-8-09 @ 11:45am. The day before Sabrina turns 7. 7yrs ago at that time I was in a hospital being induced. What are the odds of that happening? Being in the hospital 7yrs to the exact day for something. Depending on the girls dad will depend on what happens. I know their dad is coming up for Sabrina's party on Saturday the 4th. He might just take them home with him and then take them to my moms later but not sure. If not my mom will get the girls on Wednesday morning and take me to the hospital on her way out of town. Then Rick and the boys will have to come get me.

We are not sure what is going on with Sabrina. She is getting in trouble a lot lately. She had after-school detention last week. She has had 4 days of color changes. Different levels of warnings before she is really in trouble. This really all started too when her dad told her that him n his mom were coming to visit on Sunday. After she heard that she started not paying attention. Hrmm anyone else find that odd? I know I do. Aja also has been a pita lately since hearing her dad was coming. I don't think either of the girls expected him to show but he did. they went to CEC (Chuck E Cheese) and spent about 2hrs there.

the boys are doing well. I think Thad might have a cold, all he seems to want to do is sleep lately. Osiris actually slept thru the night 2 nights in a row WOOHOO!! *knocks on wood* I wonder how long it will last, though.

Last night we had a visitor at the house at 4am. They were shining their very bright spotlight into the bedroom window. The police were looking for someone connected with a homicide in Cassopolis, MI. They were told his address was ours. Nope its not. The cop did say he bets it was the house 2 doors up from ours but they just up and moved in less than 1 day on sunday. Interesting too. The homicide happened on march 9th and the lady n her kids n friends all moved by sunday. Interesting huh? I didn't think so when i was woke up from a nice deep sleep. I made the mistake of going back to sleep and then slept like crap. HA!

Aja's Appt

Well on early afternoon Thursday Aja and myself loaded up into the van for our journey down to Riley. I really hate that drive for a 10-20 minute appt. I get her set-up with her dvd player and dora movie, then I get myself read for the boring drive -- removing my shoes, jacket, and opening my can of coke. We take off and settle in. We stop in Kokomo for a potty break and lunch. We continue down the road and arrive at Riley. Aja was really good all the way there. Her appt went well for the most part. Her doctor said she was gaining well and growing. He is running some blood work to check her bone growth levels, since she has been complaining her legs hurt alot. He also ordered a rerun of a stool culture test to check for fat. So as long as both of those come back normal then she is done down at Riley. Let me tell ya I will be glad to stop going there. I will miss some of the parents/kids we encounter there and make friends with.
