Closing the day on a good note

Wow, what a long day.  It began with so much frustration, but we survived.  Thankfully, God lets me yell and complain at Him and He still loves me and waits until I calm down to say, once again, “I’ve got it. You don’t have to worry. I’m in control and it’s all going to be ok. No matter what it looks like right now.” 

I believe that. Even when I let myself get distracted. Thank goodness He is patient.

I also want to say thanks to Sara and Tricia for encouragement today via phone.  Sara called and got more than she probably bargained for. And Tricia answered her phone and might have wished she’d have let the machine get it.  Though I’m not much of a phone person generally, it was nice to talk to you guys and learn from your similar experiences. My apologies for all the blah blah blah you had to endure!

Braska and M are at Children’s snoozing away right now.  I took them down and stayed through the prep process.  (There are pics on Braska’s blog if you are so inclined.) I’m heading back there at about 6:00 am.  It went very well, and I was very pleased that she wasn’t nearly as congested and snotty once we were there.  Makes me think again that there’s something in or with the house.  But M thinks I’m just paranoid or on a mission to get rid of this carpet.  And maybe that’s true…but the pattern is sure enough to make me wonder.

I still don’t know what to think about the spot on her tongue except it doesn’t seem to bother her, so I’ll not worry about it.  Thrush just might fit, as so many of you have mentioned.  (Hi to Melissa and Aunt Chris and Uncle Don too! Thanks for the tip!)  I really hope they see what they need to during the study.  The tech was SO wonderful, really nice and so accommodating.  And she was talking geek and Trek with M when I left.  Oh dear.

So tonight I go to bed. Things are ok.  I will survive.  I wish I didn’t get in those super overwhelmed and frustrated valleys, but I’m human and I suppose I’ve still got alot of growing to do.  Thanks for being a sounding board, friends and strangers.  Good night.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
