Fatigue (

I recovered from my cold just in time to host a wonderful Halloween play date (on Halloween) for my older son's play group. It was great fun...only my son was the only one who didn't want to be in the wonderful costume I made him. Got it on him for a...
Did anyone catch tonight's episode of House..."Lucky Thirteen?" If you're unfamiliar with the tv show House, it's about this nasty, totally un-PC physician at a NJ hospital named Gregory House. He has the knack for diagnosing all of those cases that no...
Knock on wood...last night, for the first time our little one slept nearly 5 hours straight...in his own bed! Yes, that means I actually slept! He's been doing better the last two or three nights sleeping in his crib, and sleeping a few hours straight...
I received my post pregnancy lab work today in the mail. It's been a little while since I've had blood work sent to me, so I'm curious to see how my numbers compare. However, it brought back how I was diagnosed. As I was reviewing the blood work, the...
That wonderful pain in my neck hasn't gone away. I had my loving husband stretch me out like the good doctor showed me, and that didn't really help. I'm fortunate to have a sister-in-law that not only is a physical therapist, but works like 10 minutes...
After nearly two weeks of discomfort, my husband finally talked me into calling the doctor to make an appointment. I was able to get in this afternoon, and my great husband left work a little early and met up with me there so he could drive the kids home...
I've made it to the final finish line in the birthing process - six weeks post delivery. For the first 2 weeks home, I had the no heavy lifting, no driving, and no more than once up and down the stairs a day rules. Add the no bath, swimming, or exercise...
I have to wonder. To sum up the past several weeks...I'm tired. Very tired. Thankfully, my partner in crime really is my partner - my husband actually let me "sleep in" (aka, I just had the baby...who's nursing every hour) on Saturday morning while he...
I think my son and I have finally got on a good nursing/sleeping schedule now. He is going in for another weight check to see how much he's gained in the past week tomorrow, so here's hoping that he's not only up, but up over birth weight at this point...
Wow, time flies. I can't believe we've been home over a week...and our little peanut has been in the world for 2 weeks now. In the last week, the swelling in my lower legs, ankles, and feet has subsided (thankfully). However, I've developed a good case...
Had my third NST this morning...and they aren't getting any quicker, that's for sure. I had a 10am appointment and was there right on time...and of course, after an hour on the road had to use the bathroom. They brought me right back, let me leave my...
Nearly two days ago I started to feel some pressure (almost like a bruise), so I gave it a day thinking it might just pass. However, yesterday morning while I was trying to pick up the house I still could feel it, so I called and left a message for the...
I'm quickly approaching the finish line, but have NO ambitions of having things happen prior to July 30th. I am getting to the point where I am seriously wondering how, with so little energy and such an active 26 month old, I am going to be able to productively...
Yes, I think I've reached that stage of pregnancy...in the third trimester when the need to clean, cook, and tend house takes over. I'm in a mild panic to get things done...like those things I've avoided doing or thought it "would be nice" to do for so...
Well, it's a bit inevitable. Seems each time I take on a big project, I wind up getting sick just shortly afterwards. Like my body's response to making sure I get down time. Last time I was sick was after throwing my son's 2nd birthday party. This time...
