But it is like the last few weeks of pregnancy things get so unbelievably real. In the last week, every last member of this household has had a sinus infection and allergies, my mama included although she doesn't live with us.
In addition to that this morning I had a less than stellar mommy moment. Layna was sulky and I was like stop that we are going to the park and doing this and that. My mama came and got her this morning and immediately returned her she was like do ya'll realize Layna isn't feeling good she turned down food and she holding her ear.
I had the aww damn bad mama moment, i thought she just didn't get enough sleep or was dealing with allergies...I looked at her close and was like dang damn dang she doesn't feel well and she looks like she is achy immediately i was like lets go to sick call at the pediatrician. I picked her up and rocked her and kissed on her cause i felt so bad i didn't notice.
Come to find out she has a ear and sinus infection, which we thought had cleared up two weeks ago but did not. So mama kissed them cheeks and said I was sorry mama didn't notice. She smiled and clung to me like a lil koala bear and forgave mama's spidey senses for being off.
We got her to the doc, that was $25 dollars, got the medicine $58 dollars, got her home and then I cuddled her and got her meds in her, daddy carried her upstairs. Came back down was like hey Doesn't Gabby have to go to the groomer's today.....
Mama looking like huh hmmm really. So you basically telling me that with no probs whatsoever we spent over 100 plus dollars at target including meds, $25 at the doctor, and now $60 for a low cut, bath etc at the groomers.
Wowzers times a 100....Today has been one of those days where you like really. But didn't nothing really happen there are no shoe bags, clothes etc. Just incidentals and meds. I bought one misc thing at Target as a thank you gift to Hubbin for being so fabulous and loving his girls so much. He has taken care of me and Layna today while we were both snotting and sniffing, just like I took care of him when he got sick. I believe God for keeping our finances cause between dr visits for all of us, puppy dr visits, groomers, and higher utilities than seen in previous years its been one for this month.
Other than that nothing new to report on the baby front. Our love, Alex, is doing well still high up/head down and cervix is closed. Soooo whenever he is ready to make an entrance mommy is ready. Everyone is asking when I am coming home. Well considering Layna had to be induced and I only have so much FMLA time i don't want to go home to quick and end up waiting for the baby for almost a month. My plan is to work for as long as i can, probably right through the 39th week or rather maybe til the middle of it. That way I know that he only at most has two weeks he can stay in the womb before an in induction. i really want to spend the summer with Alex and Layna and Henry sooooo I will continue to soldier on through.
It is getting hard to go to work though. I am sick with allergies and fatigue in the morning. I sleep on the way to drop Hubbin off at work, drag out the car and get myself up that walkway to start my day. I am knocked out at night and on the weekends have to take breaks to nap. But as i have said 1000 times.. i would do it all again for my children, husband, family it is worth it!
The battle cry today come from the 31st Prov (The Wife of Noble Character). I have this scripture in front of me at work. I read it almost daily. But this last little bit reminds me i can do this--I can keep going--'my arms are strong for their task'...PRAISE GOD.
Battle Cry for today:
Proverbs 31:15-17
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
