Just treading water....







So I feel like I could write a short story right now about my life! I've tried to sit down and write a new post numerous times this past week but am just now getting around to it. What's crazy is that I was reading Summer Walters blog the other day and felt like she took the words right out of my mouth!! You know how when you're going through a rough time, you feel like no one else in the world is going through something similar or that no one has ever been through something that remotely relates to your situation? I've felt like that this whole week. I guess it started a week ago, Wednesday, when Matt had to take Hayden to the doctor. He keeps getting sinus infections because of his allergies and I just knew he had another one. Come to find out it was just his allergies acting up and they put him on another allergy medicine. So, for a little over a week I have wiped his nose and eyes non stop and he has not been a happy two year old to have around! Last Saturday guess who started coughing? Carson!! By Monday I had him at the doctors office and he had a "cold" and it went into his ears....double ear infection! Thursday morning he woke up about 6:00a.m crying and he didn't stop until we got him to sleep around noon. Luckily Matt worked from home to help me out. I took Carson back to the doctor that afternoon and I'm so glad I did. The doctor took him off the meds he gave me Monday, gave us something stronger and told me he was glad I brought him in because he was a sick little baby. His ears were way worse and his cough was borderline RSV!! Talk about an overwhelming week! I told Matt that for the first time in my life, I feel like I'm drowning. Luckily he sent me to a one hour massage after that comment:-) Like Summer said, I feel like all I contribute is milk. Thank goodness Hayden is much better and I think Carson is on the road to recovery. I have to take Carson back to the doctor tomorrow (which will be our 5th visit in a little over a month). Hopefully he'll get a good report. So, after all that....here's some recent pictures. You'd never know by the cute smiles that our household has been turned upside down!!

Hello, I found your blog through someone elses..........I went to ACU, not sure if you remember me or not.

Anyway, I totally understand what you are saying. I can say though that it DOES get better. I have 2 boys as well and when my second came along I cried a lot and felt very down. I was overwhelmed and just felt a bit empty. I managed to get through those days and when my youngest turned about 5-6 months I remember thinking "okay, I can do this.....I've got a routine.....I'm in a groove!" You are still trying to figure everything out and one day you will wake up and all will be still in your house and you will feel that you have some control. Hang in there because it does get better and you will begin to feel like yourself again!

The pictures ARE super cute...and quite convincing! I would never know there was snot running everywhere and eardrums bursting. At least treading water is good exercise! Okay...sorry....corny.
