Feeling a little better today. What's helping - ice cream, a visit to the chiropractor, a nice roaring fire - all good things. J is feeling a little out of sorts today. I can see now that this is just how it will be for the next six weeks. Grumpiness, fighting, frustration all brought on by the anger that we're preparing to remember, not celebrate, Charlotte on her first birthday. (Even Isabel is out of sorts, but that's because she is on steroids for an infection and so hungry I'm afraid she might eat us while we sleep.)
The doctors have finally sorted out what is wrong with my sister. After a month of pain and health issues they discovered her appendix is the issue and she is having it removed tonight. My mom was supposed to fly to Idaho to be with her after my appointment on Thursday, but after much mad texting between the three of us she bumped her flight up and arrived last night. The Lord worked that one out perfectly (as He does) since the appendix issue was discovered this morning. My mom has the babes so my sister's husband can be at the hospital with her.
With my mom in Idaho I'm headed to my next appointment with the maternal fetal medicine specialist solo. I have a list of people who will go with me, but it's important to me to do one by myself. For a few moments this morning J thought he could go with me, but after looking at his schedule he realized it's just not possible. I'm sad that he won't be able to go to any of the specialist appointments with me (he's usually around when my midwife is here) but he'll probably bring his ultrasound machine home at least once so he can see little spark.
Will have an update on little spark Thursday afternoon. Hopefully all good news, perhaps we'll learn the sex ... ?? Prayers appreciated.

Ill be thinking of your sister!! after I was born about 3 months later my mother had her gallbladder removed and it was really hard on her...glad your mom can help...i know what you mean about wanting J at the "big" appointments...something special to share together..maybe you can have him on speakerphone if there is a sex reveal? Hope you share what it is!! Praying that all you walk away with Thursday is the babies gender (((hugs)))....he stress and pressure the weeks leading up to the babies bdays DO play a big toll on the marriage...but you guys are a strong loving couple and its just another hurdle you will accomplish together...how ever you do..xoxo
I'm so glad your mom could be there first with you, and then your sister. :)
I hate that her birthday is coming, and that it's a sad time rather than a happy one. 6 more weeks and you'll be more than 1/2 done your current pregnancy- maybe looking forward to that will make it easier on you (?)
I'm glad you're feeling better. I laughed out loud at the part about Isabel. I hope she doesn't have to stay in the steroids for long.
Wow, I'm so glad the doctor's finally figured out what is wrong with your sister. Were they just blinded by the fact that she gave birth recently and figured her pain had something to do with that? I'm glad your Mom was able to change her flight.
Hoping and praying that everything goes well with the MFS. I'm looking forward to your post on Thursday! Sending you love.
I am so sorry about your sister! I hope that surgery goes well and that she will be on her way to a speedy recovery soon.
Good luck Thursday! I am anxious to see an update! :)
Praying your sister feels better and glad your mom is with her.
Sorry you have to go solo to your appointment, I know it isn't easy but I hope your honey can bring home his machine.
Can't wait to hear the gender (when you are ready of course. Do you have a feeling of this baby's gender?
The new few weeks will not be easy but together you and your husband will get through it. ((HUGS))
Sorry to hear about your sister but glad they figured it out.
I understand the need to go alone to an appointment. You'll have many of us thinking about you & praying for you as you go. ♥
