And I honestly think I missed about 4 days. WTH? I know I took Little C in for her 2 month check up on Monday and she is 12 lbs. TWELVE POUNDS people!!! My baby...my little newborn is a whopping 12 pounds. So much has happened this week and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. I almost feel like I am buzzing, if that makes any sense at all. Almost like I can't turn off. But I am...I think. Although I am waking up dogass tired in the morning. But, I do have a baby...with colic...and reflux....so...yeah.
I had to have Martha, my bulldog euthanized yesterday. I spoke in a previous post about her lymphoma diagnosis. It progressed faster than expected. It broke my heart to let her go, although just by looking at her I knew she had a few days, if that. She crashed from a chemo treatment and although she was recovering from that, the cancer was getting out of control and quickly. It has been 3 weeks since her diagnosis. I pray that if I succumb to that disease I go as quickly. Such a horrific disease that knows no boundries and doesn't discriminate. After being on medication for my PPD for the last 3.5 weeks I am feeling a bit better, but some things bother me. Like feeling incredibly sad at the loss of my dear sweet Martha, but not being able to *cry* for her. I suppose it will take another few weeks for the medication to adjust fully. Its little things like that, that will take some getting used to. Otherwise, I am better. Not nearly as irritable or weepy. Don't get me wrong, I have my moments...they just seems to be less frequent. And that I am happy about.
This long weekend is almost over and I don't know where it went or what the heck I spent it doing, other than the obvious. ::points to above paragraph:: I'm disappointed because I felt like I have had no time with my hubs this weekend or the kiddos. And I still have quite a few other irons in the fire. BTW, I'm working on several other posts if y'all are interested. One is Little C's birth story and the other is about K and I and our beginning. It is taking me a while because I need to dig up some pictures and stuff for the posts. But stay tuned...that is if you wanna know about it. Anyway. I gotta go do some stuff. I can't sit around for too long today. Too much to do and not enough time to do it. Story of my life!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about Martha. I can't even think about how I'll react when I have to say goodbye to A.J. Hang in there on the meds and you'll get straightened out... if not, ask your doctor and get things either upped or downed on the dosage. (don't do what I did and just try to regulate your OWN dosage!)
ReplyDeleteAw. :( I hope things will be better for you Stacey. I'll be praying for you dear, just have faith in God and take those meds regularly. Don't skip any schedules in taking meds, alright?
ReplyDeleteTime does seem to go by so quickly.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your dog. :(
My oldest 2 are a little less than 17 months apart, so I had 2 under 2 for a while. It's a little exhausting, but now, they are great friends.
Stopping by to welcome you to SITS!
