Health Updates

This has been a really rough couple weeks on me. I have now been sick 11 days straight. UGH! I take the last of my antibiotics today. I went to the doctor last week for the antibiotics. Early this week, I threw my back out coughing and have been to the chiropractor twice this week. I am going back to the doctor today for a physical check up and see if she can address my coughing issues as well. I'm really hoping that it's not turning into pneumonia.

Yesterday I also took Little S to the pediatrician for her 9 month checkup! I just doesn't seem possible that she's almost a year old! She weighed in at 17 lbs 2 oz and 27 inches long. She is healthy and well! She is still being stubborn about crawling and pulling herself up. It's like she has no interest at all. I guess she'll get it when she's ready. I'm not worried about it....and she gets the stubbornness honest!

I really hope I feel better soon!

Mommy's aren't allowed to be sick...

I felt the germ coming on Monday...sneaking up on me like it had too. My body was slowing down and by the time Monday evening rolled around, I ached all over and felt like my head was going to explode. BUT, I still made diner, cared for Little S, lowed the crib and changed the sheets on her mattress. My darling husband was a big help...he brought me the tool in which to lower the crib with. :/ I believe I was fevered as I went to bed. It was a horrible night and I ended up missing work on Tuesday. This meant that Little S. also missed her second day of daycare. I did rest more on Tuesday ...but I still was up about 8AM to put food in the crock pot and take out the trash. I still cared for my baby girl all day. I went to the doctor and got meds for me even if they are limited. (Can't take many meds while breastfeeding....haven't had good meds since 2008 - I miss them!) We then took Little S. to her InfantSee appointment at the eye doctor. She did GREAT!!! She is slightly far sighted so we'll be going back in 6 months. She was such a good girl though! I gave her a bath and did my normal evening routine at home.

Today, I'm back to work but have no voice left. Feeling some better but still pushing myself. Seems like the only option I have! I am a woman, I am a mom!! Sickness is an inconvenience that just doesn't fly around here. Hope my limited meds do wonders!
