Last week due to stuff going on and then Katie getting pinkeye and an ear infection Katie didn't see much of Grandma and "pa pa". Well since Sunday Katie has seen them every day and today is no exception.
Because I am sick. I've been taking care of the other two sick memebers of the family and some type of germ has gotten into my system. And because I am PREGNANT Dr's won't give me anything. So after having almost a week of crying, coughing, sneezing, screaming, banging on the wall, banging on the door, meowing, hissing, furrball puking, wind blowing interrupted sleep my body finally said "ENOUGH" and made me sick this morning.
So today at 1:45 Katie will be going over to visit "Pa pa". I on the other hand will be going home to take some anti-nausia pills that make me sleep and go to bed. Hopefully with tomorrow being a school day for Katie things will be back to normal...or as normal as our family gets.

For Sicker...
I'd just like to say that of the experiences I've had in life, hearing the doctor say, "you've got a double ear infection, sinus infection, throat infection, and a touch of bronchitis," is one I would like a substitution for. Say replace it with a very nice sunset or just a night of actual restful sleep. Granted hearing that I'm infected to the gills was a bit better that living with the aftermath of the shot they injected into my butt.
I saw a glimmer in my wife's eyes when the doc mentioned the shot. I'd like to think it was because, having gone through it herself during the week of our big Star Wars Wedding, she knew it would make me all better. I suspect though that she was chuckling to herself in full knowledge of the special kind of hell I was about to go through, that I'm sure I didn't sympathize enough with her when she went through it. That's just a guess.
The first night after getting the shot was filled with strange pains that I cannot satisfactorily describe in words, so I won't.
The shot did what it claimed to and here a few days after taking it I can move around like a pretend human. It is a fake healthy though. The head still buzzes with the infection still lurking underneath. That'll take longer to knock out with ghastly antibiotic pills with a dry horror of an aftertaste.
Still haven't gotten a good night's rest yet, and I'm not optimistic about the near future. To sum it all up... being sick really sucks. I'd rather just be well, please.
PS: Another way to some it up: don't kiss icky germ covered, snot spewing toddlers... even if they look at you with big puppy dog eyes... reaching up at you saying "hug hug hug."

Katie has pinkeye
We went to the Dr and she now is taking drops for it. I know it looks bad. She was worse at 3AM when her eyes were basically swollen shut.

Happy Fun Time
Just found out today that one of my bestest friends ever is engaged!
Also today is my sister's birthday, so hooray for her too.
Thought I'd throw that out there so we can all remember the good times!

Read a Book
I'm rather happy with myself today. I finished a really large book over the weekend, A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. I wrote a blurb about it on my blog.
It is a very long book, and with the little time I have to read (or the desire to read it) it took a while. I actually check it out from the library about 5 months ago. The sad thing is it is the first book of a series and each book is just about as long. This is going to keep me busy for a while, but some other books will have to come first.
Happy reading!

New Due Date
Also forgot to add yesterday that it looks like the date has changed for the due date again. On the computer for the specialist it had 6/13 and 6/14. So I decided to have it be at 6/13. But just incase just mark your calendars for a 3 day weekend!

Specialist Appointment 1/17/08
So this is what happened this morning.
We got there for our appointment at 8 and I filled out paperwork. I was told that since we are seeing the genetic councilor that they would have to call my OB to get the results of the quad screen test. About 20 minutes later I was told that my OB was on the phone and wanted to talk to me. She wanted to let me know that my quad screen came back positive for Downs Syndrome. Which I was not surprised (I hate this blood test anyway it gives a lot of false positives). It came back positive for Katie when I was pregnant with her. So with my age it's at 151. Now with the positive it is now 145. I'm still not worried. We FINALLY got to see the councilor at about 9:20 (so much for 8) and she went through everything. I basically told her that unless the Dr said that we really should have an amino then I will have one but I wasn't going to risk it.
So we have the sono and it is still a BOY (confirmed by the tech and by the specialist). The specialist then told us that there are some calcifications in the heart. This is a MINOR marker for Downs Syndrome and it doesn't mean that he will have it. She checked him all over and besides that everything looks fine. She told me that now my chances of him having this is 1 and 70. She told me that if I wanted to could have an amino.
Adam and I have talked about this even before Katie was born. Knowing that something COULD be wrong is NOT going to change anything with our love for this kid. He could have 2 heads, 4 arms, 6 legs and have a green skin and I would still love the little guy. So we are NOT going to have an amino. (besides why risk it when I've had a miscarriage in the past)
We do have to go and see the specialist again 26-28 weeks and we got an appointment scheduled on March 5 at 1:15. She also mentioned about maybe coming back at 34-36 to check on it again. They will be checking everything again and check the heart again to see if there are any more calcifications.
So please continue to send vibes and prayers for this little guy.

Geek Like Me
One of Adam's friends text paged him today and told him to go to youtube to check this video out
and to look at the picture when it hit at 40 seconds.
It's the wedding that is still being talked about.
