I’ve been a bit busy and a bit stressed and trying to work through some things and trying to find some balance in my life between 3 school age kids, a baby, admin work, house work, crafting, planning, organizing and hmmmm…..maybe even some time with Jon….who woulda thunk it?
It’s not easy. I’d so forgotten how busy this baby time is. Not that I would trade it for the world, but I’ve been slacking in the blogging department and trying to pick up the pace in all the other departments in my life……..and I’m stuck at 176 pounds…..I go up on the scale and down on the scale between 176.2 and 176.8lbs and it’s frustrating me….I’d just LOVE to see a 175 pop up somewhere in there…even if only for a moment, but no – as of yet, no such luck.
Josiah is scheduled for his 4 month immunization and I’m trying to remain calm even though I’m not entirely certain that I want to immunize. I believe in immunization and my girls are up to date, and Jeremy has his minus the kindergarten booster, and while I have no concrete evidence that anything that Jeremy struggles with has anything to do with immunizations – I still do not know that it doesn’t has something to do with his struggles….I do know that he’s had a wicked reaction to the Hib shot, and so far ‘Siah didn’t, and I’m hoping it stas that way.
I hate that I have to fight with the nurse to convince her that I only want the Dtap/Hib and that I’m not taking the others right now…..maybe I’ll get them later or maybe I won’t….I know that this is a sesitive topic and I know that everyone believes different things, but this is my struggle. I believe they do good, and yet I’m scared. Scared of the unknown and Tired of dealing with Jeremy. Not that I don’t love Jeremy, but sometimes, he requires more effort and energy than both the girls and Josiah all put together…..
Okay, enough whining. I’m done. I’ll be back later.Â
it never ends does it?!
my more challenging one had a melt down in Wallmart today…why do I set myself up for that??!!
love ya
I’m glad I’m not a mom. I’m also glad I have Jennie to make these decisions for us!
I want to pick your brain about immunizations! Roxy’s 8 months now and still hasn’t had her 6 month ones…..I’m not sure what I’m waiting for though. Ruby’s immunized, but I feel like all of a sudden there’s all this fear fear fear stuff everywhere about immunizations! AHHH! Can’t stand it!!
(on another note, we saw “dr. Nico” as ruby calls her, last week! LOVE HER! can’t believe I waited so long to see a nautrophath. except now She’s going on mat leave! Oh well, I’m sure the other doctor will be just as good. Thanks for the referal 🙂
