Last addendum...grrrrrr

Stepped my foot into a luke-warm bathtub...damn it.  So dang cold outside, apparantly the pipes don't want to cooperate.  So did a quick bathing, got out, blah blah.

Talked to mom;  bank is attempting to screw her over with a smile on their faces.  I told her what to do/say.  Hopefully it works out that way, I really don't want to get involved more then I have already, I hate fighting the bank on my own accord, let alone someone elses. 

Damn it all...addendum to first post

I have sneezed 384.5 times (caught one before it got out).  My gut is aching from it...thought I felt so/so yesterday, but was just the change in climate.  Thinking now, the lovely change in climate has made my big butt sick.  I'm on constant antibiotics til the babes is born, thought that would help me from getting 'bout anything..or I guess I was hoping.  Running a hot bath now, drinking hot tea.  Trying to breathe.  Luckily Alex will be home soon, I know he's going to be freezing his arse off tonight.  Tubs done, I'm gone.  ~Toodles Again~

Nada

Nothing much going on.  Mom called in a tizzy about bank-problems, haven't been able to get a hold of her since then.  Had to go talk to Kait's teacher today after school.  We had discussed her short attention span before, but apparantly things are getting worse.  She's writing in her worksheet books again, completely disregarding the teacher's instructions (not defiantely, just as tho she never heard it the teacher speak).  Anywho, teacher's going to go talk to Guidance again and see what can be done on their end, and I'm going to talk to Stephanie (her counselor) and Dr. Kawliche (her psychiatrist).  She's been on the same med for well over a year, could be that it's losing it's effectiveness. 

Have another trip to Orlando Thursday.  This time it will be for an NST and to see the doc.   Maybe I'll find out some more about what to expect about delivery this time.

Friday is Kaitlynne's Christmas party at school.  I'll be going, hopefully Alex will..Scott & Petey have to work.  After school, we're loading up and heading to Georgia to pick up Alex's daughter.  That will be good for everyone..I know Alex misses her desperately, and it will give Kaitlynne someone to play with during the holiday break.

Guess that's all for now.  Thinking a hot bath's in order here shortly... *Toodles*

Nuttin'

Just checkin' in.  Kaitlynne had a doc appt. Tuesday;  had stopped one of her medications due to a nasty reaction, added one to help her sleep.  Poor kid was barely pulling down 2-3 hours a night, exhausted (and cranky).  Wednesday, went over to Kimmie's and played some yahtzee while the kids tryed to kill each other (in the most loving manner, of course).  Thursday, Kaitlynne and I packed up and headed to Orlando for the 1st NST.  Got there at 10am, got in at 11:30am, did my 20 minute test (baby looked very good, I was a bit dehydrated tho), confirmed my appt. for next Thursday, and came home.  They did tell me that when I hit 32 weeks, I will have to go every Monday and Thursday.  This just bites, even tho I know it's definantly for a good cause.  Just hard cuz it costs so much to get down there, just for the 20 minute test that you would THINK they could do here and just fax the results.  But, they won't.  I see the doc next Thursday, find out more about what to expect as far as delivery.  Would like to know what they're thoughts are as far as how labor will go (induction or csection), and when they think they'll want to do all this.  We go get Alex's daughter next Friday, he'll work for that following week, then he's all mine for 9 days :)  Just about done with Christmas, have to get for Kim & Donald and her 2 kids (got a couple small things already..), Scott & Petey, Nick & Patria, and Alex's dad.  Majority of our shopping is done tho *whew*.  Guess that's about it... *toodles*.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Ok, well, goin to write something in here.  I've had a killer sinus-headache all day, so thinking isn't so clear.  Well, went to the Christmas parade here in town last night with my friends.  Got annoyed at my friend's husband (partially cuz he's a man, partially cuz of my hormones), but we still had a good time.  Parade seemed to move slower this year, dunno why..maybe it was just me.  Kids had fun, tho, and that's all that matters.  While I was there, I ran into a gal I used to work with.  Her daughter just had twin babies (they were so cute..just over 5lbs each).  Anywho, her daughter has the same insurance I do, and she told the hospital in G'ville that she could not drive all the way to Orlando when they put her on high-risk, and Shands accepted her!  So, I'm hoping to beg and plead tomorrow and get myself going to Shands instead.  I'd rather drive to G'ville alone then Orlando. 

Went to Kim's mom's today for Katherine's party (also Lucille's friend's birthday).  Was good, had a cookout.  Donald's tooth ordeal was bothering him too bad, so he went home early, and I took Kim and the boys home with me later.  

Finally have the handyman from the realty company coming out in the morning.  We've been here over 3 months and they've fixed nothing that happened with the hurricanes (which he isn't tomorrow either) or anything that was wrong with the joint when we moved in.  Hopefully atleast get screens on the dang windows so we can open them.

Scott and Petey want us to take their lil pomeranian dogs, which I'm thinkin' we will.  Not positive yet, but the  deal was they wait til after our house inspection in January (mandatory 90-day with the realty company), then we'd talk.  Kim's sister wants to buy a puppy.  Scott said only 200 bucks, I was like dang, for a purebred pomeranian?  Even tho it doesn't have papers, that's still a great deal. 

Anywho, that's it.  I'm tired.  *Toodles*

On the road again...

Ok well I went to the new OB down in Orlando at Arnold Palmer.  We got there at 9:30am (appt was for noon..lol).  Glad we did too...ugh, took forever.  They measured, did urine, etc...Good news was that BP was doing pretty well with the med they put me on.  They did an U/S (I'm hoping to be able to figure out a way to post the pics..they are so good, straight on clear shots!), and said she's doing well, 2lbs 11oz.  I have to do the 24-hour urine test (yuck), they took more blood, and I have to start weekly NST's next week.  I do that for 4 weeks, then after that I have to start biweekly NST's...all the way to Orlando for it :(  But, it's for baby and me, so that's what's important.  They gave me a script for a BP machine so I could monitor it myself at home.  Discussed the possibility of csection/inducement early.  They also put me on an antibiotic for the rest of the pregnancy to help prevent anymore UTI's.  I've had 3, so far.  While I knew that an untreated UTI could cause a kidney infection, I didn't know that an untreated kidney infection caused Adult Respiratory Distress.  Entire appt:  7 hours exactly!!!  I couldn't believe it!  Alex had only taken a few hours off work, so he was late getting to work.  Neither of us had eaten, because no one told us it would be that dang long.  Worst part for me was that all my appt's will be on Thursday's.  I can't get them on Friday's ever.  Which means I'll be making all further 1 and 1/2 hour drives there, then back, by myself :(  That part nearly had me in tears..a high-risk preggo driving all the way there and back by herself...lovely.  Guess I'm whining..sorry :(  Anywho, that's it.  If ya read it all, ya know the routine <passin out the cookies>.

Today

Tomorrow's the Orlando appointment.  I'm nervous, but glad to be going to get good care.  Saturday is the Christmas parade...I can't wait for that.  Going to get some glow-sticks for Kaitlynne and the boys.  Should be a blast, as it always is.   Feet are swollen like crazy today, I'm sure the BP is going apey.  But she's moving around alot, so I'm sure she's doing just fine.  Hopefully get to see her again tomorrow, been 9 weeks since my last ultrasound.  Ok, well, boring entry, but I did it.  Oh, Alex said the sweetest things to me in IM today while he was at work.  So sweet that I saved them in my email.  Good boy, yes he is...*smile*
