Updates

I just posted a ton of new photos...now that I got around to it. As to some updates.

1. My Moms Expo went okay. I haven't totally tallied up the final amount but we did s0-s0. I made the local news again on Kare 11 so that was good. We expected more people but we still got about 300-400 or so and lots of great comments to that was good. We hope to do it again possibly this summer.

2. I was diagnosed with exhaustion on Sunday. I went to bed Saturday night at 11pm and woke up at 4pm on Sunday afternoon. I went back to bed by 4:30pm and woke up at 9am on Monday morning. I don't remember much other than getting up that half hour and eating a bagel and going to the bathroom. My body was in so much pain from being on my feet for 2 days straight. I was also lifting heavy chairs and tables and going non-stop Friday and Saturday for the expo. Rob would come and check on me to make sure I was alive. A few times I didn't respond to him and he got worried and called the dr. The on-call doc said that as long as I am breathing and it seems like I am asleep to let me sleep and that I am in total exhaustion. He said I could fight it out at home or at the hospital and Rob decided to let me sleep. I eventually woke up and responded to him a couple of times (I don't remember them). I am much much better today. My body doesn't hurt and I feel like I got some sleep. The main thing is to take in liquids and rest. This was just my body saying enough and time for rest. I was surprised the dr. said that I was at full exhaustion. He did mention they could admit me if I didn't wake at all but Rob knew I would want to be at home. I didn't hear him or Brandon at all during those hours.

3- Brandon...is SLEEPING!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! We have cut the meds down a lot. We think the main issue was his ear and how much pain he was in. He has had that infection for a few weeks so it could easily be that. He is also moving himself in bed more and is able to find a comfortable position in the middle of the night now. He is doing SO much better. he will sleep from about 9pm to 4am and then does a diaper change and bottle and goes back to sleep for a few more hours- sometimes until almost 9am! He gets his am nap and pm nap for an hour each time and he goes down fully awake in his crib and falls asleep on his own. Tonight he also fell asleep on his own but woke up at 10:30. Dad took care of him since he didn't see him a whole lot because he was working lots today. He went back down at 10:50 and cried for a few minutes and fell asleep. Most likely he will sleep until 4am or so now. AMEN!!!!!!!!!! What a huge difference for all of us to be able to sleep now. The first time he did it I went to check on him because he isn't like that at all.

All for now.
