sunday night pass out

when i said we were crashing at the marriott....i meant it....we dont actually pay to stay at the place..instead our rich brother who has expendable cash was staying there...and we drove over, swam in the pool, ordered our fav st louis pizza and totally owned the lobby where we watched kept up with the big mizzou ku game....and mizzou won im happy to say. im such a fair weather friend! my boss said i better not come in monday if mizzou won...so IM NOT!!! when he calls around 9:25am tomorrow....im gonna hold him to it hehe. i love it!

it was a great trip!

so regarding my girlie bits (if you dont wanna know the slimey details dont read anymore)

i have been spotting VERY lightly since thursday. im talking like once or twice a day. just before i sat down to write this...i had a tad more than spotting...so maybe just maybe...im staring my period! holy cats! all i know is im tired of wondering. nomatter what...this was the strangest cycle i have EVER had in my life! im wondering if maybe its even the earlies of menapause or something. or maybe its something negative.....dont want to let my mind wander. anyhoo...i am shopping a new surgeon tomorrow...so i will mention all this stuff to her...and im sure there is pre surgery tests that will go on....so hopefully we can get some answers there (if there are any to be had).

So here are some of the pics from the trip. Im so glad I took the time to take them. It was amazing how much emotion they evoked as i flipped back through them!

from the marriott

Hi!

Its saturday night and we are crashing at the marriott so i have access to the internet. man...i had no idea how addicted attached i am to it! i missed you ole girl. anyhoo....

no i have not started my period. no i have not passed a pregnancy test. i have been spotting for two days though....so im not sure what that means...but i do know its not "like me". i mentioned to my sil that my under arm had been sore for a couple weeks...and she was very concerned. i will have talk with the dr about that at my monday appt. a part of me is worried that all of this strange girl stuff could be something more serious. but im trying to not think about that for the time being.

i hear my sweet boy crying and coming towards me...so i best say tada...and post again tomorrow night.

hope your holiday was rockn!

Homeward Bound

Rock on...today is the kind of day that mocks routine. I love it. We get off at noon...and my boss said we dont have to even pretend to be busy hehe. Then Im off to dollar general for yet more hgt tests and grant a pair of mittens. The cold front has come in and winter is here to stay im bettin.

Homeward bound for a nap.........ahhhhhh..im so looking forward to that. Ive even decided to leave grant at day care while i do so. That way he will get a good nap (because i wont be disrupting him right before his regularly scheduled day care nap...to come home and get all wound up)...and I will get a good nap (because he wont be keeping me up or disrupting my snooze). Yes i want to see him...and yes a part of me it tempted to just go pick him up....but honestly....we will both be better off if i just go get him later.

After we catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzs....we must pack. Packing for 2 is soo much more overwhelming challenging than just packing for myself. Grant requires lots of clothes (kids are messy and accidents do happen), toys, meds, snacks, sensitive soap, stroller, backpack carrier, DVD player and selection of baby Einstein dvds, shoes,socks, coat, hat, jackets, mittens...hmmm am i forgetting anything?

I bring a variety of meds just to be prepared. The nebulizer tags along just in case...and I bring the broncho saline solution along with the serious drugs. We only use the saline unless things get really bad! This is so awesome. When we were following drs orders....we started administering massive amounts of xopenex (bronchodilator) and pulmicort (anti inflammatory steroids) at the first cough! We are seeing the same results with just saline! Very Very exciting. Plus overall we just needs meds less...ahhh. I do bring the oral steriod just for an emergency...but we havent used it yet and hopefully never will. I also am bringing his homeopathic mix of horsehound and other good herbs. In fact...I gave him a dropper of that last night because he made an ugly cough that I didnt like the sound. He took it like a big boy too and was awarded a sticker:). OH....and now grant has a very very ugly yeast infection diaper rash poor fella. Im wondering if he could have gotten that from me via breast milk? Still looking into that one. (warning tmi: but i have a yeast infection...and rarely ever do...in fact the last time i had one i was prego). But im excited to be treating it homeopathically as well. I am using a weak solution of vinegar and water! Fingers crossed! Oh and we are pushing yogurt.

So anyhoo...after the packing is complete, grant is bathed and jammies on... i load the car (solo...oh that sounds fun)we go out to pick up daddy from work at 8PM and then off we go to ST Louis for the holiday. Im praying that grant sleeps almost the entire ride! His bed time is between 8:30 - 9:30 so we have a good shot here.




Im thinking I will be able to post from the lou....in between kisses and hugs and feasting and farting.

Peace
