Sweet Dreams

Madi came in our room this morning as I was getting ready for work as normal. However, this morning she had a huge smile on her face.

"Mom, I had a good dream last night"
"You did, what was is about"?
"I dreamed of Thomas"
"Oh, like the train"?
"No Mom, like my brother"

That one through me for a loop. Perhaps she knows something we don't... Boy?

Being Positive....

It always seems that just as I seem to think things are all planed out for me, life throws me for a loop....

After a fun filled vacation to Mexico, we discovered that we were pregnant again. Surprise!! We thought we were done with one but, I guess not!
Of course, the puking began about the second I peed on the stick. It still continues at 14 weeks. Ugh.. It is different than with Madi. I used to puke all day, work, and come home and sleep. Now I am just missing out on the whole sleep thing. Ryan & Madi have both been great about all of it and are very excited. God help us if little one is not a boy. Madi just won't hear otherwise.
Due date is Sept. 13th. I'll keep you posted on our new adventure.

Luvs,

Aches & Pains In The Ass


Life's next new trial....Fibromyalgia. Ughh. Typical, let's tell the OCD girl that she's just going to have to learn to slow down and not be able to keep up all the time. Right..... At least I know I'm not crazy. My body is just falling apart :) Damn.

Summer 2011

Sorry, blog slacker, I know... Things we have been up to lately...

Madi turned 3 in May. Yes, 3!! This year's theme was Strawberry Shortcake. Need to upload some photos from my dead camera. Especially of the cake!

Ryan & I went on our first adult vacation in 3 years in June with our wonderful friends Romy & Luke! We had an AWESOME time & can't wait to go back next year. Cancun anyone?? :)






Work is CRAZY!! More so than usual. The new hospital will be done in September! Can't wait! I am beginning to wonder what I will do with all the time on my hands when the move is done... Oh yeah, going back to school. Should be able to get my CPA in 2013. So, if anyone needs their taxes done, look me up in a few years :)

Happy Summer!

Luvs,
Cora

HSP

Just an FYI to all you Mom's out there, if your child's feet ever look like this......




your in for a long road!

HSP
"Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HEH-nawk SHURN-line PUR-puh-ruh) is a type of vasculitis, a group of disorders that cause blood vessel inflammation. In Henoch-Schonlein purpura, this inflammation causes bleeding in the small blood vessels (capillaries) in your skin, joints, intestines and kidneys. The main symptom is a purplish rash, typically on the lower legs and buttocks. Henoch-Schonlein purpura also often causes abdominal pain and aching joints, and in some people, kidney problems."

It took many Doctor's visits this week to finally get a diagnosis as to what the hell Madi had. They believe that the HSP was triggered by the strep that she came down with while in Mexico.
Other than looking like she's been beaten by a baseball bat, Madi seems to be back to normal. Kidney function is fine and blood levels are appropriate. It should work it's way out of her system in about 4 weeks. Yes, FOUR WEEKS! Poor baby...
