First, my BFF Mel, who is 36 wks pregnant with her second and a history of HELLP syndrome, is now being watched VERY carefully because of some rising lab work to determine if they need to do a C/S soon. This was a very emotional finding because she has been doing and feeling great through the whole pregnancy. Please keep her in her prayers, so she can keep baby Sprout in for another week, hopefully 2!
Second, I know someone close to me in debt to the IRS (from an accountant's fault) to the tune of $75,000. This is crazy and almost an unfathomable amount of money. Hopefully this situation will get resolved with some good information on how to proceed. She has meetings lined up with some attorney's, so we will see.
Third, although we thought we knew what teething was, oh boy, were we ever wrong. And medicating unnecessarily, I guess (or how will we ever truly know). But our poor girl is just a mess lately. Snotty nose, shitty pants, constant whining, not really eating, fever of 101.8 - just miserable. Which therefore makes us miserable, because we can't help her and we don't know what to do. Her meds (tylenol and motrin) must be giving some relief; albeit how much, I don't know. She will take teething drops, but the oragel is a no go as I can't get near her mouth. Poor poor baby, she is so tired (we had a terrible night and terrible day) and it just hurts me for her. I truly hope there are like 4 coming in at once or something. Gosh. And now I feel terrible for giving all the medicine before, but we honestly thought she was teething. At least one positive out of this, now we have perspective on the matter. Either that or she is just sick. I guess only time will tell. How I wish they had little windows on their foreheads that could tell you precisely what is wrong/what they need or want.
So, today was crap overall, but hopefully looking better for Mel and her Sprout, and I am seriously hoping for my little one. Please keep all of them in your prayers!
