thursday
Ok, so I recovered from whatever mess I had, and Lydia Catherine recovered from her sickness. Then Monday I was horribly ill with a dreadful stomach virus. Vomiting, diarrhea, fever...the works! Around 10pm we headed off to the ER, after I collapsed in the bathroom. The ER looked like a scene from a horror flick ...there were people on stretches and in wheelchairs in the hallways and everywhere! We headed back home. I took some Emetrol, prayed it wouldn't had an adverse reaction on Lydia since I'm still breastfeeding, and went to sleep. Tuesday I felt a ton better, and today I'm almost 100%. I just pray now that neither Lydia Catherine nor Frankie get that mess. UGH.
2 weeks later...
I haven't written lately because there's been so much going on around here...classes have been demanding a great deal of time for reading and memorizing/studying, Frankie had a bad cold, then he gave it to me and apparently I gave it to Lydia Catherine. We didn't go to Munfordville last Sunday because I had to take her to the Ped's office. She was back again on Thursday and is still no better. It's been terrible! (Especially at night).
Some great news though: I finally got my computer! Best Buy was able to repair it and now I have my own desk and my own computer (in the nursery, which isn't really a nursery since Lydia has been in here like twice ever and those times she was just passing through)! Frankie has officially kicked me out of his study and has taken his laptop back. I'm glad to have my own computer (how I missed it!) as well as my own space.
Three months old
Yesterday Lydia Catherine was three months old. Hard to believe! I have been scrapbooking some in my spare time (I don't have much of that!). I am pretty much satisfied with the amount I've done so far. I think I've got a good overall collection of pages from birth to now.
Classes are going well, but I think it may have been unwise to sign up for two classes and SWI. Frankie had to keep Lydia for an hour yesterday while I went to class. When I returned, she was screaming her head off! Big tears were rolling down her cheeks and Frankie looked just as bad. He basically shoved her at me and said she had been crying like that since five minutes after I left. After I had her only a couple of minutes, she calmed down. I reminded him I had SWI later (for two hours) and he just groaned. Lucky for him, she was much better last night. She did cry some, but only for a short while, he said. He can't manage to get any reading or studying done when he's alone with her. On one hand, I feel like I should be here with her because I know he needs all the time he can get to study and read. On the other hand, if not for those few periods of time when I'm gone, he wouldn't be spending much time with her. My other reason for suspecting I'm taking on too much is that I don't really have enough time to read all that I need to...or if I do make the time, laundry gets too piled up, dishes go unwashed for the day, etc. Anyway, we'll make it work this semester, but next time I'm only taking ONE class. :)
As far as the classes go, I really am enjoying the information. Very interesting.
