Mixed up ramblings of a bipolar mom to 4…

It’s A …..

Saturday Apr 29, 2006

Well this last week has been extremely something..

I havent been sick or anything. Just really tired due to my Anemia.. My iron fell too low and Ive been extremely exhausted..More so than normal and extremely cold.. Its 90 something outside..Everyone else in the house is burning up and i have a jacket on..Not to mention..VERY VERY WEAK!!!!!!!! I could barely lift my arms this weekend i was so weak.. I’m back on the dreaded iron again.. So hopefully in a few days i wont be so weak.. This is something i’ve dealt with for a long time..

Last week my Air conditioner went out.. It was 95 outside and like 110 in my house.. It was soooooooooooooooooo nasty in here.. The kids were hot and miserable.. My family had some window units we could borrow but it only cools the living room and my bedroom.. We will need more if we cant get the a/c fixed soon..

I had a drs appt yesterday. The dr todl me he wont allow me to go to sleep for the c section. The risk to the baby are too high since this is a 4th c section and there is a lot of scar tissue.. I’m terrified..He knwos this. He was really understanding and concerned. He promised me it wouldnt happen again and i know that.. but it doesnt ease the fear.. He said they could make me loopy and i wouldnt care where i was at..LOL.. That might work..It MIGHT..
I start counseling this thursday.. We’ll see how it goes..

I had an ultrasound today.. The baby looks great! I’m measuring RIGHT on time for my due date.. And it looks great..

Found out too..

And stubborn IS the word for it.. It took an hour to get him to show us what he was.He wouldnt be still.. Kept moving and kicking but when it kicked..He kept his legs together..He was constantly moving his hands.. VERY BUSY LIL ONE!

So his name will either be Aiden Matthew or Wyatt Avery.. Its now up to DH to decide between the two.. Although he told me it doesnt matter what he chooses because i’m going to do what i want to anyhow.. but thats not true.. I do want his input..IF he had any..He doesnt seem to have any.. Everyone keeps asking..Is dh happy its a b oy?

The answer.. is no. He doesnt mind one way or another what it is.. He just wants a healthy baby..Thats what we both want.. We NEED a healthy baby..

Also now our kids will be like this GIRL-Boy-Girl-Boy.. LOL 2 girls 2 boys.. My son is thrilled its a boy..When we told him..he said,”I knew that already”

Sugar however felt differently..she said,”Its a grl”

I told her it was not a girl that she was going to have a little brother..she said okay.. LOL

So we shall see… Things are going smoothly :) Now to just get my house fixed from the hurricane..still fighting contractors and finance company..

Michele sent me here again, Ivy.

I see you added me to your blogroll, Ivy. You’re so sweet! I was kidding before since we definitely don’t have the same demographic of readers but I must admit my blg name does look so nice with your lovely blog design as the backdrop.

Anemia is certainly common in pregnancy but given the possibility of blood loss during a C-section I can see why your doctor doesn’t like it. I hope your terror decreases as you get closer to delivery time, Ivy. You’re an old pro at this with 3 kids already. (yeah, I know–easy for me to say)

Those are beautiful names! Wyatt Avery has such a ring. Aiden Matthew sounds strong and decisive. Love the new look, Ivy! Are you craving watermelon?
