April 2009 - Hospital Trial Run

4/13/09 - I just wanted to give one last updated post before baby JC makes his arrival on Friday.

LT had a great Easter! We went to church and he was so excited about the choir singing. He kept clapping and standing up. He started feeling bad that afternoon, but at least he had a good half day of feeling good!

We are battling a very bad sinus infection with LT right now. We went BACK to the doctor today and he gave him a 3-day antibiotic to hopefully knock it out before surgery on Friday.I hate it for LT because he is absolutely miserable. He woke up with his eyes pussed together this morning. The sinus infection moved into his eyes and his right ear has another infection. it's a pretty bad overall infection this time. I just hope it clears up quickly. It's doing a number on both me and Daddy. Daddy has been getting up with him at night because in about 4 days I will not be able to pick him up for a while. He is having a hard time adjusting to daddy comfort. He is so used to mommy comfort. Luckily last night he slept good all night, but then again he did not nap yesterday. Today he felt so bad that he took two naps. He is on an antibiotic, benadryl and tylenol/motrin because he has been running a fever. I hope since it is a 3-day antibiotic that he will feel a lot better in the morning.

As for JC - I am completely ready for him to get out! I am uncomfortable and exhausted and tired of being both at the same time. Plus it makes it really hard with LT being sick to not be able to really hold and comfort him like I normally would due to the gigantic belly protruding! We will post pictures as soon as we possibly can on Friday/Saturday.

WISH US LUCK AND A QUICK C-SECTION RECOVERY! We can't wait to see our new little man!


4/1/09 Glad to be home from the hospital. I came down with a bad case of the flu bug Monday night and as of 130 Tuesday could still not keep fluids down. Had to go to L&D for fluids and monitoring. I was contracting every 3 minutes, but it was due to the low fluids. Two bags of fluid, lots of monitoring and a couple of small meals and I got back home today around 100pm. I am considering it my trial run since there are only 17 days left!!!!!!! LT had a hard time tonight - I think a little separation anxiety since he went to bed Monday night and didn't see me again until tonight. =( Poor little guy. I missed him so much!!
