Spring Break

It is here, Spring Break.

I am so stoked! These last few weeks have been really stressful. I think I slept an average of 4 hours per night. This was my fault of course.

I got behind on my online class and between that and midterms, I have not had enough time in the day.

For the last month or so I have been sick! Actually my entire family has been sick. I thought I would get over it, but too much stress helped me catch more bugs once I would get over one. We have had wonderful runny noses, nasty coughs, and sore throats. Last week I finally went to the Dr and after a bunch of tests, the just decided that I got something viral and then my immune system was week, so I caught something bacterial. I was given an antibiotic. As soon as I started taking them, everything went away, well slowly it has been. I finally feel like I might get on top of this thing.

To top it off when we went in to Addyson's 2 month Dr appointment, she had dropped in her weight and growth percentile. She was gaining weight, just not as fast as they thought she should be. But she is still a big girl for her age. Anyways the doctor totally stressed me out by telling me that unless I could get her to gain weight that they were going to pretty much make me switch to formula. EWW. (nothing against formula, I used it for Drake)

When they told me that it stressed me out enough that I lost almost all of my milk supply. So every 3 hours I have tried to pump, unless Addyson is eating, I am pumping. I am trying to get my supply back...it is kind of working.

The doctor got what they threatened, she is now a somewhat supplemented baby. It is depressing because I had so much milk at one time, and now I have hardly any. I have tried so hard to make sure my baby is getting what she needs, and then I find out that I am still not doing good enough. I am also bummed because this is what happened with Drake, I ended up having to switch him after 2 months of nursing....

I was really stressed the last 2 to 3ish weeks, I am not sure how I survived. My eyes were so bloodshot on the last day of class that I was afraid that if for some reason I got pulled over that the cop would think I was on drugs. DEAD serious.

Now it is some vacation fun at home. I am so stoked that I don't have to have a babysitter at all this week, just me and my kiddos, and some housework. FORGET SCHOOL.
