This holiday weekend was originally an no plans, just chill, and get some things done around the house weekend. Well on Tuesday Eddie got sick and threw up all day, then on Thursday Alan took his turn and on Friday it was my turn. Needless to say those of you who know my medical history, my body doesn't react to this well so by 9:30pm Friday night we realized I lost 4 lbs in 2 days and the nurse sent us to the ER. The ER on a holiday weekend is very interesting. We had to wait forever to be seen by the doctor who determined I needed IV fluids to rehydrate as well as some wonderful anti-nausea drugs. Labwork also showed a bladder infection so we got some good antibiotics to boot. The boys were way over tired so after they got me in the back Daniel took them home and waited for me to call for a ride. When the first bag of fluids was finished I buzzed the nurse to come change the bag. Well I didn't hear back for awhile, but did hear some severe screaming and swearing followed by what sounded like a rampage of things flying against the wall. I waited for quite awhile to get the second bag hooked up and the nurse apologized for my wait as the screaming was by some guy that got bad drugs on the street and things got a bit out of control. It was 3:30am by the time we pulled into the driveway. I'm glad that Daniel had a 4 day weekend to be able to take care of boys and especially to take care of me!!! Alan's best buddy from Alabama was in town for the holiday weekend visiting her Nana and Papa so Daniel took the boys to meet them at the beach for a few hours on Saturday. Things today are finally back to normal, or as normal as they get around here. Just 9 more weeks of pregnancy discomfort IF I deliver at the same stage of the game as I did with the boys. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well and the worst is behind us!!!
Well, I'm not sure what made me think I could sew. . . I thought sewing a santa suit wouldn't be too difficult if it was part of a "kit". The base playgroup was doing some Christmas pictures of the kids and I thought I could get the suit done in time to have Daniel take an early lunch and show up as Santa. Well this "kit" had very confusing directions. They may as well have been written in Japanese!!! After spending an entire 3hr naptime studying and attempting to cut out the pieces I was beyond frustrated and ready to cry. I ended up using my resources and sending out a very desperate email to EVERY email address I had for people that lived near me (there are some playgroup lists with emails of people I don't even know). Within 30 minutes a friend, Erin, from my MOPS group responded so I called her and she was able to help me figure out how to cut the pieces out correctly!!! Ok so the pieces are cut out, know what do I do!?! Well. yesterday I r...
