Just Can't Stay Away

From the doctor's office, that is! We made our weekly visit today LOL! Not really but it does feel that way sometimes. FlowerChild went the first of the month with her ears. LadyBug and Cornbread went last week, him for a checkup, her for bronchitis.

Last night FlowerChild was up for hours crying with her ears hurting. Another double ear infection! It was a pretty severe infection from the way our doctor acted when he examined her. He is such a sweetie. I don't know if he would like being decribed in such terms....he has all boys and loves to hunt, etc. But he truly is so kindhearted and my children think the world of him. (even if Cornbread did crawl under the chair and hide, just still as could be - it was so cute!) The doctor checked Cornbread's ears since he has been sick with the same cold. He had an infection in one ear. Arghh...I hate for my babies to be sick! Babies meaning any of my children!

So everyone has had their antibiotic now. It's late and they are winding down. One in my lap with his little fingers entwined in my hair. The other two curled up on a pallet in the floor. Actually LadyBug is still a little bouncy since she slept in the car so she is flitting between the pallet and a chair. Cornbread slept too but it's making him more cranky than bouncy! As for me there's not much bounce but at least I'm not cranky either! :) I'm just hoping to go at least a few weeks before we have to see the doctor's office again!

  3. Oh, I hope your babies get better! My children always had ear infections. Recently, our whole family, I think, had swine flu. My sister in law visited from Mexico and even though she was never sick with the flu, she could have been a carrier. We are ok now, but we are taking our oldest baby, 22, to the doctor on Monday.

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
