Again

Well, I'm sick. Again. I can't go to sleep because I can't stop coughing- heard that before? I am so so tired of it. I hardly have any of my cough medicine left which means I am going to have to go to the doctor. Again. Winter sucks.

Anyway- G was 11 mos old yesterday. We had an appt with a new doctor today- he's 17 lbs 4 oz- 27 inches long. Right at about 2-3rd percentile. We had a long talk about his growth and development. She ordered a ton of blood tests, a urine test, and we got a referral to feeding clinic to address his issues with solid foods. I have been mixing his formula with extra calories for about a week or so and she wanted us to continue that and then come back in 2 weeks. I am hoping to hear from her tomorrow on the blood work. I really just want to know that he's ok. I feel like he is- he's developmentally ahead of where he should be motor wise and right on track cognitively. It just seems like something should be out of line if there were something truly wrong.

I am feeling totally overwhelmed about my house. Everything is a total disaster. I have had to work during the week two weeks in a row now. Nothing is clean, I'm behind on laundry, basically- the place is a pig stye. I hate being in it. I went and made plans to go to the zoo tomorrow but I feel like I have to get the kids outside and take advantage of this awesome weather because who knows how long it'll stick around. I went to the neighbors' and worked out tonight and then sat around watching tv for nearly 2 hours. I just can't seem to make myself do anything useful! I could get things done during nap time but I've been so tired lately that I've been napping WITH the kids so there goes another 2 hours of my day- wasted. Oh well, what do you do?!

Yikes, that is tough. Since you're sick, don't feel guilty about napping with the kids because they need you to feel better more than they need the carpet vacuumed. (((Hugs))) I'm impressed that you worked out, though...I can never make myself do that when I'm sick. I hope you are feeling better soon!
