Re: ~*~Mad Mondays!~*~
Still no sign of AF, still too early to POAS. On the plus side I don't ::feel:: pg like I did with DS so maybe that means something. I also went and bought a $tree test just to see if that would bring on AF (this has worked in the past!) but still...nothing. Perhaps b/c it only cost a dollar and the period gods did not see this as enough payment for my request. Maybe begging isn't their style either...
DH has had major attitude problems all week. I would swear he has PPD sometimes...I am the one that takes care of DS 80% or more of the time, so why is he biitching about lack of sleep??? And DS and I have this great schedule down now that DH has been working so much, he even slept for FIVE straight hours once over the weekend!! I mean slept, not just bottle to bottle. What happens when DH has to care for him and get up once last night (technically this morning at 6:30)? He says "oh he is wide awake now and fussy and won't go back to sleep and I'm so tired of getting up with him, you're going to have to take over."
Sitting here now with an adorable, passed out baby boy in my lap. Guess all he needed was a little mylicon and his Mama...
One last one I promise! Last week I was lucky enough to wiggle out of DS and I seeing MIL. I will not be so lucky this week. My Wednesday is probably going to suck! Hoping it will be quick and painless instead though!
One of Stella's nurses said she doesn't think Stella will be coming home until she's 42 or 43 weeks. How can she say that already? Stella is still 5 weeks from her due date.
It's just frustrating all the different opinions of all her healthcare providers--seems so inconsistent from person to person, you know?
2 things.
1. This weekend I watched a LOT of 16 & Pregnant on MTV. I saw "Farrah" and I was so pissed at that spoiled little brat and her horrible mother. I was mad at Farrah for having it so easy (PG wise) and how unfair it was. Then last night I was watching another episode and the girl's LMP was 7/23/08 and mine was 7/24/08...she gave birth on 4/29/09, which was Lily's EDD. It just infuriated me. SO NOT FAIR!
2. I got a call back from the dermatologist I saw about some spots and removal. They got the results back and it doesn't look very good. Pretty serious. My DH works at a cancer hospital so there is that, but I am scared to death!
This is going to sound VERY morbid, but I wonder if I wasn't supposed to make it though the HELLP and now am getting this because I am not supposed to be here???
Oh, and for anyone who knows me on FB. Please don't mention #2 as my sister is a friend and I really don't want my mom to know. She will just freak out and make it a whole lot worse, so I am not really saying anything to friends or family yet until I know more.
and one more thing... I am po'ed that my family doesn't understand that I only tell them the good stuff or post the good stuff on the blog. ?They think everything is just ladeeda fabulous...when really evryday I am watching my kid do things that most 6 month olds do. grr!?
apparently I am mad today lol ?
Oh man, that's rough. I felt similarly last year. Like I was cursed or something. While Robbie was in the NICU, I had a blood clot scare, then at one point they told me I had a growth on my brain. (I didn't have EITHER, long story, but they sure scared the crap out of me!)
Hang in there and deinitely keep us informed.
My rant for the day:
Why are things always so smart when HUBBY thinks of them, but when *I* think of them, they're not such a good idea? I suggested moving to the other side of the city because housing is IMMENSELY cheaper. No no.. he didn't want to do that, he'd have to cross the river to get to work. Well today, someone at work talked about the great price on a house there and Hubby calls me to say "maybe we should move there." WTF, dude, I've been saying that for TWO YEARS but you said no.
It's so aggravating.
I'm also annoyed that Robbie's therapists are so irregular. His PT doens't have regular, standing appointments, so we're trying to figure it out every week. Then probably every other week, she either reschedules or changes the time. Today she wanted to move it up by 45 minutes. That may not seem like much, but when you're trying to work in naptime and feeding time (which for Robbie takes about 90 minutes) it's hard to get things balanced. It's just plain annoying!

My rant for the day;
While Dawson's ROP surgury went ok, they tried to feed him again on Friday, less than 12 hrs after surgery. Of course, his belly blew up, so they made him NPO all weekend long. So I sat in the NICU with a screaming baby who was STARVING. He was up to 30mlQ3. Today they decide to try again...with 3mls. THREE!!! And they are not even using BM...they are using neotate...I think thats what it is called. pre-digested BM. I am not so much mad...just upset that my baby is soooo upset and sooo hungery, and yet they cannot do anything for him yet.
Also, DH is starting to really get on my nerves. He only visits about every 2 or 3 days because he is to busy whoring out his home improvement skills all over the neighborhood. He says we need the $ which we do, but then takes the $ that he made from 1 of the side jobs to get a tattoo (Dawson's preemie footprints and name on his arm. which normally would be swoon-worthy, but right now I am just irritated) He is a builder by trade, so he works all day and then does side jobs at night so then by the time he is done he takes 2 more days off to rest. I know I sound like a brat in this, but I just wish he would delay the neighbors needs instead of Dawson's/mine sometimes.
i am infuriated with my MIL. she has, as expected, made it perfectly clear that she only cares about herself. she makes every effort to spend time with my nephews and help out my SIL (her daughter) (which is all a selfish attempt to get back at her ex husband), but refuses to make any effort with DS (in fact, she ignores our efforts as well).
while i am fine with her not caring 2 iotas about me, and i have accepted that she isn't a great mom to DH, it breaks my heart that should would treat DS this way. he is 7 months old and is a very easy baby. i look at him with his giant blue eyes and beautiful smile and can't understand how anyone could possibly hurt him. i swear to god, if he ever realizes what's going on, he gets to make the decision whether he wants that awful woman in his life. i just keep telling him it has nothing to do with him.....
I'm not defending him by any means.. believe me, I railed at my husband for the same crap, but truly, they just deal differently than we do. They're weird.

I've had the same thoughts. Within 1.5 years of my boys being born, I was diagnosed with the heart condition that killed my grandmother at age 47 - then a different doctor said I didn't have it, but that I have a tumor on my liver (which turned out to be benign). Then I was dx with skin cancer. For a long while I felt like maybe I wasn't supposed to live through the delivery, and death was knocking at my door. But I'm now convinced that I was just a little depressed and completely overwhelmed. We have to take life by the reigns and show it who's boss- especially now that we are mommies!
I won't say anything! Can you email me what they found when they did the biopsy? Being a cancer nurse and all I'm just curious and wandering what they are thinking of doing about it. I hope that it is something easy to take care of. Let me know if you need to talk, I am always here!
