Wow, well this past week has been something. Kaite had the stomach flu, and even had a vomiting incident at school. Ky and Kami have bronchitis. Kami is so sick the doc thought it was pneumonia at first. I am still in shock that I missed how sick she was. She cries and sleeps all day, I am not sure she is getting much better. She hates her breathing treatments and medicine, plus she doesn't want to eat. She complains constantly about a headache- this really worries me. We may have to visit the doc again. This particular cold has now made its way through all of us, but seemed to get worse as it went. We haven't had a decent nights sleep around here all week. Ash has been perfectly fine and now Kaite is all better, thank goodness!!
I had my doc appointment yesterday. Since I had to reschedule I didn't get my regular nurse, and I managed to give the one I had a good scare. The glucose crap gave me a bad reaction this time and I got so dizzy at the office. The nurse and her student (doing her clinical rotation) wouldn't let me out of their site. Then she drew a bunch of extra blood "just in case", its a good thing she did. Turns out my H/H and Fe are really low. So now I am on iron pills (high dose) twice a day. I was told we have to get my iron up before I have the baby or I may need a blood transfusion and have to stay longer in the hospital. Great this is what I needed more problems!! I am also on a high iron diet and have to watch what I eat since it can interfere with all the pills I am taking. Ky says I have to eat a bowl of Total everyday since I can get almost a days worth of iron from one bowl, yuk I don't like Total. I also had my RhoGam shot and had to argue with her about having it in my arm. How frustrating! They finally agreed and I told them the flu shot was worse, it still isn't bothering me. Later the doc told me they like to give it in the hip because one gal had a bad reaction to it in her arm and thought she was going to die, oh my. I told them I have had it now 3 times in the arm and 2 times in the hip and the arm is so much better! I can't walk when they give it to me in the hip and it HURTS! Oh, and my sugars were all completely normal inspite of my reaction I had. Also, I lost 4 pounds in the last two weeks.
I am officially 28 weeks now and in that last trimester phase. I feel more comfortable with where we are now, I know if she was born now she would survive. I did have a good laugh though when she kicked the Doppler wand twice! Even the doc was shocked and she didn't kick around it or even close, she kicked it! She has a spunky personality already. And she may be a daddy's girl, she loves him so much. She will move and snuggle up to him whenever he touches my belly or when we are laying in bed at night, I think it's because he is so warm. She runs from Ash's cold hands, and likes to kick Kami when she snuggles with me! She is funny, she always wakes up to Kaite and likes to do flip flops when Kaite talks to her.
I feel like my life has been turned upside down this past week.
Congrats to George! He is graduating from his Naval Officers Training today.

Thinking of you! I was cleaning some papers stuffed in a desk drawer last night and ran across a picture of you with Ashley when she was 6 months or so. What a little cutie she was (As are all your girls). It made me sad to think how fast time flies and how long its been!
