Busy busy...

One day it will slow down for us! But I guess this is not the time! LOL

So quickie update on our lives. Aren't you excited to read all about it? :) Our kitchen is coming along nicely, it is almost done! They installed the counters on Thursday! It looks beautiful. I'll post pics soon, our cord is broken on the camera and I can't upload to the computer. But you'll see it! It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We feel totally blessed by God for this gift!

Well let's see. last weekend, mom was having cardiac symptoms and ended up at the hospital for the weekend. She is doing better but we are waiting on test results from a stress test to see if cardiac cath is needed. But she is OK for now. Then on Thursday, I had been feeling under the weather and began to have GI issues at work. My breakfast wasn't staying down if you catch my drift. Well after 3 times of that, my body had enough and I was getting ready to go home early and rest when I stood up too fast and passed out. Scared one of my kids (and myself) half to death! Wacked the desk, have beautiful bruises on my arm...So the office called 911 and EMS came and transported me to the hospital... UGH EMBARRASSING! Unfortunately not the first time I've passed out from puking to much. My heart gets very irritated if I'm getting dry. So needless to say, my heart rate was in the 150's and I was not feeling very good. But they got me hooked up to IV's and fluids and a lovely drug called Zofran. Thank you Lord for Zofran!! Stopped the nausea! So my blood work came back WAY elevated, and they had to rule out Appendicitis. Luckily the CT scan was negative. Just a bad bug. So 7 hours, 3 Liters of fluids and drugs later, I was discharged to the comforts of my home! I stayed home on Friday and am feeling MUCH better now! No more ickies! JUst a bit tired still.

So Friday was Matt's 31st birthday! Old fart is he! So we spent dinner with his Granddad and I had bought him an ice cream cake and I put trick candles and sang happy bday to him. It was cute, took a cup of water and lots of hot air to get the candles to go out! LOL Well, I was using a serrated knife to cut the ice cream cake and um, talking on the phone (not a recommended combo!) and my hand slipped and the knife sliced into my hand about 1/2 inch. OUCH!!! (God forgive me for the words that came out of my mouth!!) I was on the phone with my mom and scared her half to death! LOL Well we ended up at the Urgent care center b/c it was a deep cut, not real big, just goes down about 1/2 in. But b/c it is a puncture wound, they couldn't stitch it and it needed to be left open to drain, AND I'm on heavy duty antibiotics for infection. *sigh* Always something! So its nice and bandaged, looks good, not getting infected, but MAN it is amazing how this little thing HURTS!!!! So moral for the day? Do NOT stick a knife in your hand! Or talk on the phone while USING a big knife!!! I had a recheck today and it looks OK per the MD. Just have to keep it clean and covered and follow up if worsens.

SO. That is it for the update. See why I haven't been on in a while? Just busy life as always. Our infertility life is at a dead stand still for now. My system isn't quite back to par after the last round of treatments. Guess it's God telling us we need a break. (Like we didn't already know that!!) Was having a bad, "woe is me" moment the last day or so and my heart is heavy with the yearning for our children. My arms are physically sore from the emptiness they hold. Anyway, we had a wonderful conversation with a pastor from our church today, able to share our story, and our struggle. We were able to open up to him and just share our heartache and burden. He is a blessing to us and prayed with us!! It helped, really helped!

So that's it for now. Off to rest and do some laundry. Have a blessed day in the Lord!
