Katelynn ready to take her brother to Amy's.
Katelynn, Amy, and Junior.
The first day at daycare went pretty well, Junior slept quite a bit and didn't stick to the 3 to 4 hour feeding schedule that I had him on, but sometimes I think that my expectations may be a little high for someone watching 5 kids, I know that I couldn't do it. After I picked up the kids, Katelynn continued to cough and that night we played musical beds at our house. I was so exhausted from not getting any sleep the night before. I started my night sleeping in the bed in Junior's room, Katelynn eventually was sleeping in my spot with Dan until every time she woke up and found me missing started to scream until I resumed my spot in our bed. She continued to cough and make so much noise that I would eventually make my way back up to Junior's room which wasn't much better, he makes a lot of noise in his sleep as well, I think he woke up every hour and then would start sucking his thumb to fall back to sleep and the mommy radar in me of course woke up each time he made any noise. Tuesday morning Katelynn looked like she had been hit by a bus and was running a fever so she stayed home with me and Junior, I wasn't working Tuesday anyway so no biggie. Wednesday was much of the same, with no sleep Tuesday night and Katelynn no better I went to work for a couple of hours in the afternoon and Dan stayed home with the kids. I also had my follow-up appointment with the doctor on Wednesday afternoon and my test results came back good, the nodule had filled up some more so for "fun" the doctor decided to stick me a couple more times and drain it again and this time when I left it hurt like hell for about a day. The doctor told me to have an ultrasound once a year to see what is going on and then anytime the nodule is becoming apparant I can go in and he will drain it for me, he said "it's only comsetic", well, at least good news on that end. Thursday Katelynn was still running a temp. and just didn't seem to be shaking this cold at all, so off to the doctor we went at 7:15 am and the doctor said there was nothing she could do, let the cold run it's course. How much have I spent in the last 2 months on medical bills, whew, with giving birth, my thyroid, and sickness, it's really drained my bank account. By this time Dan is now starting to not feel so terrific and Friday morning I had to go to work. Katelynn was doing a little better so off to daycare they both went and then I could start to feel the pressure behind my nose and face and I know that this is going to start hitting me as well. The most I was scared about was Junior and of course he started a little cough and now he is a little plugged up as well, I have been scouring the Internet reading about RSV and colds in infants and what to watch for, it's scary and again we are not getting much sleep. I am grateful that I was pumping before and saving the frozen breast milk for Juniors first couple weeks of daycare just to give him a little extra something for his immune system and now that plan was thrown out the window and we are pumping him full of it each day, there are 2 bags left and then he will need to fight this on his own. It's Easter weekend and I need to get out and get my Easter bunny stuff and a couple more things to make Easter dinner, we invited my cousin Adrian and his girlfriend to join us for the day and gave them a fair warning that we are all sick and come at your own risk.
