Now I'm sick

Ok, this has been an interesting week for the Carman girls.
Jordan had a rash when we picked her up from camp on Saturday, Reagan was feverish and had the runs plus coxsackie virus, I ended up at the doctor today with a sinus/throat infection. Hmmm. What's next? Well actually, i go in Friday for my re-check ultrasound to determine if the baby is growing ok. If not, I get bedrest.

Saying tons of prayers this week for wellness!!!

Sick kid - no kidding

I just got back from the doctor with Reagan. She has the cox-sackie virus. Because there are so many strains to this virus, they were hesitant to call it anything but that. The doctor did confirm that there is a major outbreak of HFM disease. Yea - that's awesome.

I thought she only had them on her tongue - he said they are all over her mouth, tongue and down her throat. Great.

Time and motrin is about all we can do. Sigh!

Home sick with Reagan

Last night I found some more sores on Reagan's tongue. She hadn't been eating well at all and been sucking on her fingers a lot. She's always grumpy anymore, so I just attribute any moodiness to her "terrible twos".

Anyway, we woke up this morning and she had more. I only saw two last night. This morning she had four. I'm guessing she's got something contagious - hoping it's not HFM disease. We'll see.

So far today she has been able to milk the sick thing. She got chocolate popsicles for breakfast, pudding for a snack. I'm wondering what she's be able to get out of me for lunch. :)

Baby C updates

So today I went in for my standard appointment - I'm 29w3d. Yea team! Unfortunately the doctor became a tad worried when she measured me. Apparently she thinks I'm small. Now if you saw me, you would not say I'm small at all. I've actually put on about 33 pounds at this point - slightly more than recommended, but a LOT less than my first pregnancy.

She told me that my uterus was lower than expected and said "I think she might be small". She said she's either a pretzel baby (all bunched up in one place) or small. So she set me up with an ultrasound for this Friday and said "if she measures small, you will be put on bed rest." WHAT??? Yep - bed rest. Hmmm.

So of course my mind is going crazy. I know everything is in God's Hands, but sometimes it is hard to not worry and let go. I've looked up everything that could be wrong. One post said "just quit looking until you get your results because you'll likely find a bunch of things it could be that might scare you more than your results." Nice again.

My poor baby saw me crying to Jim tonight. She just kept looking at me and holding on to my leg. Poor thing was worried. Now she's not leaving my side at all. I'll be better tomorrow until Friday morning. Then I'll probably be sick to my stomach until I hear "the news".

Just keep me in your prayers!

Reagan and Baby C

Tonight, I got home and snuggled with Reagan on the couch. We typically do that after school - we eat a snack and watch Dora before playing. She was laying on my belly and started lightly patting my belly. Then she did it stronger. Finally, she dropped her elbow on my belly and said "I don't like that". I said "what honey, you don't like the baby?". She actually said "no mommy, I don't want one".

Hmmm

New Dora Bedroom and Baby Room

Reagan has done really well getting used to her new big girl room. We filled the walls and her bed with "Dora" and she really likes it. She has not seemed to have any issue getting used to the size of the bed either. We all like the size of the bed, because it makes it easier to cuddle if we want to. :)

And now, because the baby's room is now set up, Reagan wants to play in there. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure she's getting used to the idea of having another little thing in the house.

Baby C updates

Oh My Gosh - It's over 100 degress today. It is NOT a good summer to be pregnant... or at least THIS pregnant. Ugh!
