Crazy kid

How my baby is turning into such a kid! He has 8 teeth now- 4 on top and 4 on bottom although some are not all the way "in." He is learning how to pull himself up to stand which is a good sign he'll be walking soon. My dad has been doing Donald Duck voice to him and he has been trying to mock it which just sounds like a person who is possessed by the devil. Funny yet somewhat scary at the same time. He'll stand up in his crib when I'm watching TV in bed with the lights off and go "Mama" in his "Donald Duck voice." Creeps me out. :D

I'm working all week this week. 6 shifts in 6 days. It sucks but I need the money. I also have a soccer game tonight at 11:30 and volunteering on Thursday night. Plus class tomorrow and Thursday morning. I'm going to be exhausted. Also waiting for Lauren to have her baby since her due date is tomorrow which is also Jenny's birthday. (Happy b-day!) Way to pile everything into the next couple weeks.

I called McKay Dee to start physician shadowing and I'm getting blown off by the girl in charge. She was somewhat short with me when I spoke to her and acted like she was just swamped which honestly I don't think she wanted to do anything. I can't do anything though until I fill out her paper work that is almost like the paper work for volunteering. If I have time tomorrow I'm going to call her again, I think she's had enough time to get back to me.

I have broke out into hives all over my legs and arms. Not really sure what it's from since I haven't changed anything, but I'm going crazy trying to NOT itch them. I've had them for 2 days now and I'm hoping they'll just go away on their own so I don't have to go to the doctor. My swollen lymph node is gone though which is great news!

I'm going to go job search now....peace

Just go away!

We have been some serious sick people. Andy started off the year by getting strep which he got over pretty fast once he went to the doctor. Ollie followed with a cold that is still going. He has been very congested and coughing up mucus. Gross! Andy then went to the doctor for his stomach in which he found he has a colon problem that may require surgery later this year. For now though, he is on antibiotics. I got a stomach virus which prevented me from getting out of bed for two days. I missed work and school. I was given medicine on a Wednesday so I could stop having nausea and was told to come back if I didn't feel better. Following Monday I was back to the doctor because my ears hurt and my throat was killing me. She found I had an infection between my ear and throat. Therefore putting me on antibiotics. Well, as the days have gone my congestion, ear pain and sore throat have decreased while my lymph node has decided to swell. When I was younger I had to have one removed from my upper neck and now it is back.

Swollen lymph nodes can start because of an infection or virus or antibiotics so I'm definitely in the running for getting one since I've had all three. It hurts pretty bad though. It hurts to stretch or turn my neck to a certain degree. I'm giving it a little time to go down on it's own, but since it didn't when I was younger I don't have high hopes. I really don't want to go back to the doctor, but I might have to. I'm just hoping we are all going to be healthy again VERY soon.
