No more sickies!

OK...this past week has pretty much been a wash....literally. I think I have washed Caleb's bedding three times now, and the rest of it once. I am HOPING we are done being sick now. Thought we were done, and Caleb threw up in the night again. He has an appointment on Monday to see if he has some reflux issues that might be triggering his random nightime barfs. We'll see! I ended up with a migraine last week...woke up with it Tuesday morning. Took the meds that I can take and still nurse Lucas all day long and it didn't make a dent. Wednesday I just took tylenol all day because my prescription meds have high caffeine and Lucas didn't sleep well...again, didn't make a dent. Thursday woke up with bad nausea and still the headache...called the doc and he said to take the imitrex and pump and dump for 8 hours after that. No problem, EXCEPT for the fact that I hadn't given Lucas a bottle yet and didn't have any breastmilk banked. So!! I was able to lay down and put high heat on my head for a while, and that seemed to ease it. At noon I made a formula bottle for Lucas, prayed, and about five minutes into the process he figured it out and drank the whole thing!! YEAH GOD! After that he slep some more, so I laid down with the heat again, and the headache FINALLY broke! I didn't even end up taking an imitrex. Thank you, Lord. I didn't see the light of day for four days and yesterday we went out and ran a few errands. Two whole days with no barfs and that makes us all happy! Somewhere in all of this I was up in the night (and Jeff) with Caleb barfing, and I washed all the bedding. Basically nothing else got done this week (by me, that is...Jeff did a TON...dishes, laundry, taking care of all the boys, etc.) So! I should be working to catch up on everything right now! :)

That's basically our week in a nutshell! Sheesh...I'm so glad it's over, and so glad that Lucas can now take a bottle and that frees me up to be gone or even just put him in the nursery at church! Yeah!
