Crazy Week

Last week went by in a blur. Things were going as normal until Wednesday. We had plans for
Steve's birthday party that quickly got changed when my doctor's appointment for Sophie didn't go as planned. Poor Steve ended up having to go buy his own cupcakes and making our dinner.

My blood pressure was high at the doctor and I had massive weight gain from swelling. The doctor and nurse were far from pleased. Once they got done with writing all of my tests up I had to go across the street to the lab and get the stuff I needed to do the 24 hour urine test. Fun times! I immediately proceeded to flip out and worry about everything. I did some research and my freak out got worse. Then I talked with Angie and started to feel MUCH better. I knew if she wasn't worried, and thought my doctor was doing the right stuff, then Sophie and I were okay. I worked late Thursday and Friday to make sure I can get everything done, just in case I go out of work earlier than planned.

Friday morning Sydney had her follow up ear check with the specialist. This pretty much was us just paying $55 to torture our child. There was no change from when we were at the pediatrician a month before. The office is not child friendly and the doctor has 5 patients at one time. Then after the wait and no news we had to go do a pressure test that hacked Sydney off even more. Then more waiting to confirm there was no change. Sydney was even climbing into her stroller and saying "buckle up" it was really sad.

Yesterday was a much needed change from the week. There was no working, no doctors, and no tests. Steve smoked some ribs, I made some sides, and we had a friend over for dinner. Sydney was super shy around him, but she enjoyed her BBQ dinner. :)

This morning I woke up to a blow out from Sydney, the start of my urine test, and then Sydney's ear tube came out the rest of the way. This was all before 10am. Things have obviously improved from there but I think we are all looking forward to bed tonight. Fingers crossed for a calmer week!
