My baby turned 3 yesterday.........Though he isn't much of a baby anymore and only momma's baby for another month..........I posted elsewhere about his birth.........His birth was uncomplicated to say the least its just afterwards that it was he**.........The day before I gave birth, I was in the hospital for pre-op and then they wanted to admit me because of all the swelling that was going on..........My poor feet looked like footballs.........I couldn't move my toes because my feet were so swollen......They soon discovered after having me go up to labor and delivery that I had a severe uti.........I didn't have any signs of it at all.........The only sign that I had was the frequent bathroom trips but when you are 38wks pg who doesn't go to the bathroom constently.............But it was to the point that I was already overloaded with fluid and I was miserable........Then combined with the c/s, my kidneys shut down and didn't want to work, I was admitted a week later for fluid overload and ended up on powerful antibotics.........They didn't let me keep my baby up there either.....Probably a good thing so I could recover cause I was so short of breath but still that left Kent at home with 3 kids including a newborn...........thankfully my mom came to the rescue.........Austin on the other hand had his issues right after birth.......Because I grow big boys (he was my second largest at 9lbs 0.6oz) he had issues maintianing his blood sugars and ended up being admitted to the NICU for 3 1/2 days..........I later found out that it was just because he was a big baby not because of my gestional diabeties at the time...........I had wholeheartedly believed that I caused his issues when he was born but the maternal-fetal medicine specialist that I am seeing now says that is not the case........It is to do with his weight and because I have big babies without being diabetic that its them and not me.........He finally stablized on thursday evening but was not released from the NICU until friday when we both got to go to home............anyways enough of a trip down memory lane, LOL......
Yesterday we woke up and Austin came crawling in my bed and then bounced out again........I had to hollar at him to come back to me........Took him a few but I took the minute to snuggle with him and wish him a happy birthday.....His daddy asked him how old he was and he holds up 3 fingers and says "3!!!!!" with a big grin on his face..........We got him a bike and a helmet along with a shirt that says "I'm the big brother".........We ended up having to take the helmet back because it is to small but I have another one already that he can wear, LOL..........He loves having his bike however he can not quite figure out how to pedal forward the whole time and ends up putting the brakes on, LOL........And I was going to get pics of him today on it but its way, way to cold.....So hopefully sometime this week I will get more pics of him on it.......
Joshua~Well Joshua........I picked them up at school on friday because Alyssa had an appt at Grand Lake.......His teacher said that he had been on red everyday this week and she didnt' know what was up just wanted to let us know that he wasn't behaving..........We have had the same issues this week as well........He just wouldn't listen, nothing we could do anyways.......A couple weeks ago he had an ear infection and I had thought maybe he was still dealing with it........So I called the dr's office, set him up an appt for monday when I take Austin in and went about my weekend......I let him go to a birthday party for a little friend of his that was cancelled last weekend due to the snow..........And last night he woke up around 1:30 with croup, I gave him a breathing treatment and tylenol for his headache that always seems to accompany his croup attacks...........The attack continued on until after 7 this morning which by that time I had already bundled him up and headed to the ER..........By the time we got to the ER, he was wheezing just a bit in the upper lobes of his lungs but nothing like what he was experiancing.......Seriously he acted like nothing was wrong but the nurse heard the wheezes so the dr listened........by the time he got in there, the wheezing was gone........but he decided that he needed a shot of steriods.........they had to give it to him in 2 shots.......Poor baby.........He got them in his butt.....As if his butt wasn't already sore from falling yesterday at the skating rink......
I have a feeling Alyssa is next........She is having behavior issues like no tomorrow and I am getting complaints at school again.........then grand lake decided to change her appt time on me and not notify me at all.........They know it is harder then heck for me to make it over there before 3:30-3:45........They want her to miss school, UGH!!! However next month when we are suppose to be in there, I will be having Jace so they will be calling in her scripts to the pharmacy.......Already made the arrangements......
Kent is still recovering from his tonsilectomy.....He had them out on tuesday.......and is really having a difficult time getting well hopefully he will be better soon.......he isn't hardly eating because his throat hurts...........but overall he is getting better.........
As for me, only 1 month left.........from a stand point here and now it seems as if I am going to be pg forever..........My pregnancy is going great even with my diabeties........I did have one weekend where my blood sugars shot up and wouldn't/couldn't go back down...I was on insulin but then a week and a half later my blood sugar fell and wouldn't go back to normal so he decided that the insulin was not needed........I have had a few high bs but nothing like that weekend so apparently it was just something I ate.........My dr says he will see me for my next pregnancy, however I am not even sure I want another one.......I developed pneumonia this time and it was the very first time I have ever had it and it put me in the hospital for 5 days........According to the dr that was in charge of my care it was a combanation of things.......Diabeties makes your immune system low and then with pregnancy on top of that, it basically made my immune system nonexistant.......I am going to be looking in things to help boost my immune system after I have Jace just to prevent other issues down the road......I have been swelling but nothing like what I did with the boys, LOL........but enough to make me uncomfortable.......So anyways that sums up our life in a nutshell..........Also here are some pics of the birthday boy......One is from 3 yrs ago and the other is from today..........
