Its raining its pouring all in Ivy’s head..
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Tuesday Nov 28, 2006Im so exhausted.. Mentally that is.. I’m so far beyond all the craziness. I just want to step out and walk away from myself for a little while and have a breather. I’m just tired of all the non stop constant drama that seems to follow me lately.. Yeah its part of being a mom and a wife and all that jazz and I know i’m far from the only one.. But all that said.. Things havent been going bad so please dont think that.. Things are just well. BUSY!
Wyatt Update:
Wyatt went back to the dr on Wed (the 22nd) and has finally gained a lil weight. He now weighs 9lbs and 6 oz.. 2 weeks ago he was at 1.1% for weight now he is at 1.6%.. While thats extremely low on the charts.. HE IS GROWING so they are happy.. I still believe he is just destined to be a tall lanky kid for now.. He eats like mad.. The upper GI showed he is NORMAL.. So nothing is wrong with him.. He is just skinny.. Sugar was the same way!! She didnt catch up to what is “normal” for her age until she hit 4.. Wyatt thinks its really hard being a baby.. he is rotten to say the least.. But I cant stop kissing on him and loving on him.. I can’t believe he will be 3 months old on friday!!! It makes me sad.. He is my last baby. I want to keep him a baby for a little while.. But.. It doesnt make me want another one!! LOL..
A picture:

and

Notice he either sleeps sideways or like a frog with his knees poking out.. he doesnt pull them up underneath him..In the first picture you can’t tell but he is sideways in his lil chair.. his head is where his bum should be. And he knows he is cute.. Only my sweet lil baby who never cries.. Has given me some massive headaches these last few days.. he has started teething already and has been very fussy for the last few days..
Diva update: I had her back in the drs office sick again.. Nurse sent her home from school AGAIN.. I told the dr he had to fix this! She had a fever again.. They did a cat scan this time of her sinuses.. It showed she has a very deep sinus infection which is why when hse is on antibiotics a few days she feels better and doesnt run fever after about 3 days of no antibiotics she is sick again.. She will be on antibiotics for a month in hopes this clears it up.. She is feeling better.. Still run down and tired but feeling better..
Sugar update:Sugar has discovered Tantrums.. At 4 years old my kiddo has JUST NOW discovered tantrums.. I kid you not. She was never a tantrum thrower. She never gave me a bit of a problem. She was always good and helpful and a momma’s girl.. Sweetest kid i’d ever met. She hit 4 and all hell broke loose! Im trying the walk away method at this point. I do believe this has something to do with Wyatt’s birth.. Because after all. Wyatt was born on the 1st of Sept.. Sugar turned 4 on the 5th of sept..
I really want my sweet lil girl back.. I miss her!
Bug Update: I dont remember if I posted about the dr changing his meds or not.. Its been a rather busy 3 months. They did however change his meds and he is doing alot better! Somedays he is still non stop but thast to be expected he is after all a kid! One of the meds he was on they had to raise up his dosage.. His destructiveness and cycles were getting a big extreme again. He would get so angry and out of control and nothing was helping. They raised it up just .5mg and He did wonderfully but the next day at school he didnt make it the entire day.. It made him so sleepy they called me to go get him! He couldnt stay awake.. After a few days it was okay.. He is currently doing great! As long as he takes his meds he is okay.. IF he misses a dose then he is all over the place.. up down left right.. And so angry and mean. I hate seeing my lil boy like that! I dont know how to help him other than the meds and then he gets mad becuase you cant fix whatever it is. He doesnt understand why he gets like that and his way of letting it out is tearing something up.. Its a rollercoaster I understand fully but wish I didnt and wish he didnt have to go through that.
Dh update: I have alot to write about him. Alot going on.. but I dont have the energy right now nad he is going to get up for work here in about 15 minutes so I’ll have to do that in another post another day.. His spider bite is looking much better. He is back at work.. So muchmore going on than just that though.. I’ll update on him later..
great photos. what a cutie. wow. i really admire you. just the idea of dealing with one baby seems overwhelming to me. i can’t even imagine how you juggle everything and the bipolar stuff too. i feel like i’m already a big baby i have to take care of and then there’s the doggie and the relationship which has to be fed and watered too plus the rest of life. how do you manage it all. and what about sleeping. my big fear about haveing a baby, or one of the many fears involves the sleep issue as not sleeping enough is a big trigger for mania… hope you’re finding time to nap…
Hang in there! This is a rough time of year. It sounds like you have a TON going on. I can’t imagine having 4 kids. eek!
What a cutie!! Olivia likes to have her head sideways. Sometimes it freaks me out.
9 lbs! Wow - O is 12.6 and she’s only 8 weeks. She’s a chunk, though.
