The sunshine is out!!!

So last week was one of the toughest weeks for me in a while. I had some health issues that caused me to be in quite a bit of pain. Tried to be strong and deal with the pain but finally ended up going to the hospital last Sunday night. Pain killers and rest was prescribed and life is back to normal again. Erik was wonderful while I was sick (like he is to me *mostly* everyday....cant get his head swelling...LOL) helped me with Noah through the nights and with anything else I might need.
Noah has been healthy the last couple of weeks (knock on wood). Took him to the doctors for a checkup on Monday and no ear infection, and clean bill of health. He is gaining weight and is so happy lately. The smiles he is bringing are so wonderful and it is so much fun. Wednesday when the speech therapist was here he tried to say "more" and at the same time brought his hands together like he was trying to sign "more" as well. So exciting. I bought him one of those mesh things that you put fruit and etc in for babies and they can chew on the food without choking on it. WE are going to try that Wednesday with the speech therapist....with strawberries.... yummy. Noah is doing very well with his head control lately. I have seen a lot of improvement and hope more continues.
His sleeping has improved lately and seems to be only getting up twice a night lately. Erik gets up the first time with him and I the second. Its nice to have the extra help. And its nice that he is sleeping more. He goes back to sleep at 530 AM usually and sleeps till 830-930 AM.
Life is good. Nice to have a break from school. Enjoying my time with Noah and the rest of the family. Kind of makes me not want to go back but I know I have to finish. So I will be going back.

Went back to the doctors on Friday. Trying to work on getting my sugars under control. Doctor put me on a different medicine. I couldnt handle the side effects to the first med. he put me on. Trying this new medicine and I really need to start buckling down on my wieght loss, diet, and excersise..... Monday I shall start.

Erik, the girls, Noah and myself celebrated Friday night. Erik and I have been together for 6 months now...cannot believe its been that long. We have had our good days, some bad days, but all that matters is that we are going strong and we are happy.

Love to you all
