mladerri, I hope you feel better soon. I have asthma and my OB said that I should take albuterol when I need it because breathing is better for the baby and that outweighs the risks of the cat c drug. (I've only had to take it 2-3 times though, luckily.) Have you specifically talked to your OB or just the regular dr? I agree with packerfan4life that having someone listen to your lungs would be good.
Also, packerfan4life, I hope your H gets to walk today! Congrats to him!
babyzebra I hope the fasting, surgery and recovery goes well.
My goal today is to write all the thank-you notes. (Yep, still bitching about these) Last night I organized all the cards/gift receipts/gift cards/lists of gifts, so it will make writing them a heck of a lot easier. Plus I'm going to see one of my coworkers tomorrow, so she can take all the thank yous for work people in with her since I obviously can't pass them out myself.
I am down to my last 15 Thank You cards. I expect to finish them tomorrow. I will be so glad when its over. I've seriously written at least 50 by now, and gifts keep coming in the mail. Yesterday I got a really sweet book for the baby from a colleague who lives in another state, and DH's coworkers' wives got together and bought us the video monitor. Super sweet and we'd never have been able to buy all of this stuff for ourselves, but at this rate I will never finish writing Thank You cards. Not to mention the fact that I've already run out of stamps once and had to return to the Post Office for more. The last place a pregnant woman should be is standing in line at the post office.
packerfan4life he'll likely get to walk today at the smaller ceremony (that's customary), so try to get there early and grab a good seat! Congrats to him! It sounds like he worked hard for it.
babyzebra - I hope all goes well with the surgery. So many of my friends have gone through this and it's been life changing. I hope you get the same results!
It's a cold rainy Friday here the perfect day to sleep in until the last possible second and pony tail to work. Unfortunately my toddler decided to get up an hour and a half earlier than usual. You're doing life wrong kid..listen to the rain, sleep, please.
mladerri - I'm thinking you could use a nebulizer with just saline instead of the actual medicine? When DD was sick they gave us one and just had us use saline because she wasn't wheezing but she was very congested and coughing a lot. It would be harmless but you'd need the doctor to get you the machine.
babyzebra, Good luck! mladerri, I'm so sorry you are still coughing! That is awful! Hugs!!
So I could use some positive thoughts... my FIL was just admitted to the hospital due to his kidneys not working. He had been having minor pains recently, but it became significantly worse last night. DH and MIL are with him and he is stable now and was apparently joking with some nurses, so that is good. He's in his late 70s, but has always been in fantastic health, so this has thrown everyone for a bit of a loop. Sorry to be a downer in the Friday randoms! I'm glad the board has been so active cause catching up has been a great distraction!
DS was a pain last night at soccer. He was so excited to be there, but he wasn't listening and was bothering all of the other kids (annoying little kid stuff like touching them, getting too close, yelling for fun, etc.). He's almost 4.5 and most of the other kids are 5.5-6, so I'm hoping the parents are understanding, but he was really annoying. I had to go talk to him twice and DH talked to him once to tell him to chill out. I felt awful.
He had also dropped his banana at snack time at school and lost it sobbing because he was really excited to eat it yesterday. He asked his teacher to text me about it so he could bring another banana today.
DH asked what I wanted to do for mother's day and I said sit on the couch. I don't want to fight crowds and have so little patience lately.
Thanks guys! ArgyleEnigma, I don't think they know that yet, but I know it is definitely one of the questions DH has. Hopefully we will find out more today.
Thanks for all the well wishes! DS's surgery went very well. He did surprisingly well for the long period of fasting. I'll be able to save a lot of the toys I bought for when baby arrives. The surgeon said she got a ton of fluid out of his ears, so I'm hopeful this will help him out a ton.
He was like the hulk waking up from anesthesia. He punched my sister and threw a Popsicle at her head! He calmed down a few minutes later though and was back to his normal self within an hour. Thanks again everyone!

I'm so sorry!! Thinking about your family and hope you gets to go home from the hospital soon!
babyzebra - So glad the surgery went so well. I can't help but LOL at the Hulk comment. I'm picturing a 2 year old just chucking a popsicle in a fit of rage.
Woke up today with extremely sore and swollen hands. Hopefully the trend doesn't keep up, but I had terrible carpal tunnel with DD1. We had the second family funeral in as many weeks, my girls think funerals are so fun because they get to see cousins and eat cake.
I am exhausted and ready for the weekend. Traditionally Mother's Day is a day we spend as a family, which I love...not having any place we have to go or obligations...but of course this year MIL has begun trying to talk DH into getting together for lunch. This is a woman who does not respect me as a mother and complains if we (DH) doesn't get her a Mother's Day present, but in 5 years has never given so much as a card to either DH or I on Mother's/Father's Day. I hate that he has even asked me if we can go...
I'm starting to get stressed about to do lists before baby and feeling like I'm in crazy nesting mode (yet I'm not actually doing anything at all, just making lists). However, really most of the stuff I need to get done in the next 3 weeks is either already scheduled (like a deep clean of our house) or can't be done until a week or two in advance, so I need to chill. My friend is making a big wooden calligraphy sign for LO's nursery that she is delivering tomorrow-can't wait to see it!!!
Tonight we're going to a concert in the park in our town. Tomorrow we are having friends over for dinner, and Sunday we are going to church and then brunch for Mother's day then out to dinner for Mother's day with DH's family in the evening. So, it's a busy but fun weekend.
Today my DS (who just turned 2) was talking about the baby and my tummy. Then he said, "Mommy, did you poop in your diaper?" No, son. Pregnancy is difficult, but I haven't stooped that low!
