Sleepiest of Weeks

Sam has had hand foot and mouth for awhile. I guess he had a fever on Monday the 18th. But then no other symptoms. But by Wednesday he was drooling like crazy and miserable. Thursday night he woke up every 45 minutes! He slept poorly for another 5 or 6 nights. Even now, two weeks later, his sleep patterns are disrupted. He was always such a good little sleeper. I'd put him down at 7 and then not a peep til 530, unless he was sick or teething. 
Now I put him down but he doesn't settle. I have to go back up. He usually still needs tylenol to sleep. And he still wakes up a couple times through the night. Poor baby boy. 
I caught hand foot and mouth from him. So for me it popped up a week after him. First I had the fever, then two days later the mouth sores. They were under my tongue and they hurt so bad I could hardly talk. Then my throat. That was awful. I am so glad to be past that. 
Right now it is 3:30. I've been up since 2:20. First it was Liam who couldn't sleep. Gave hum zyrtec (he has bad sniffly allergies) and got him settled.  Then Sam woke up. Got Sam down; Liam needed me again. Then Sam started wailing (he's been congested for a few days). Got Sam Tylenol and now I'm holding him. 

These are exhausting days but I am so content. I love these boys and this life beyond measure!

New York City Trip with Liam!

For Liam's 10th birthday he wanted a night in New York City with me. We talked about this trip for months and hemmed and hauled over what to do or where to go. We considered doing a trip to Jamaica to one of the all inclusive resorts before finally settling on a night in New York City together.  We booked the actual trip the week before. We took the Amtrak from Harrisburg to New York City which was extremely convenient. There is a parking lot just under the bridge from the train station which cost only $6 a day!  We booked a hotel on priceline but in the future I will just book with the hotel directly to use my Hilton honors points.  When we got into the city we went to our hotel to drop off our suitcase and we were fortunate enough to be able to check in early we relaxed for a few minutes before we headed off towards times square and then the world trade center memorial.  While we were in times square we went to the tkts window to get Broadway tickets out of discoun...

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking.  Meds and supplements to prevent a first time loss *Vitamin D due to my deficiency and like between low D and miscarriage * NO caffeine due to limited studies that show some people with caffeine sensitivity are prone to unexplained loss  *Magnesium, by drinking Natural Calm, every morning - recommended by Dr. Sheri Hamersley  *Progesterone 200 mg orally. I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg.  *Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley *Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added  *** Vitamin B6 and Unisom. I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea.  Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage *After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning.  * I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...
