So, I'm done with my antibiotics, but it seems everyone here has a nasty cough. Or at least, is coughing gross stuff up. I think Jay's problem is his canines are finally popping through and staying that way. I'm still having some sinus problems, mostly headaches and congestion. I blame the weather.
On Tuesday, I get my wrist looked at for the ganglion cyst. I'm hoping the doc will say that draining it will be all that they need to do. If they want to do surgery, I think it may have to wait until after my temp position is over. The extraction team has found a way for people to get around all the repetitive motion for the whole shift.
Jay is doing really well at daycare. He still isn't talking, but he's getting a little better at following directions. Yesterday, he dumped all of his clementine segments on his tray, then put them back into the bowl. He's such a stinker! We've also been watching the movie "Cars" about twice a day, if not more. I'm glad he's got a movie he just loves! He now has Lightning McQueen slippers to wear when it gets cold. Too bad he doesn't really leave them on his feet.
Things have slowed down at work, but I'm not sure when they'll start letting people go. I love working there and my co-workers are great. It's a lot of fun going to work, even if it is at 7am.
I'm hoping to spend some time on "vacation" with Jay once I'm let go for the season. Taking a trip to eastern Iowa to visit family sounds like fun to me!

Sickness
Happy October!
We are in the middle of sick season in our house. Jay had his first ear infection a few weeks ago. While he no longer has the infection, he's still been having some problems.
Jay had a hearing test today due to him not talking and not seeming to respond to questions. Jason took him and the hearing doctor said they couldn't test Jay because his ears have fluid in them. They sent them to Jay's doctor, who we were going to try to see anyway, and said the fluid could be from Jay being on the antibiotics. The reasoning is the antibiotics killed some of the good bacteria and his body is having a hard time recovering. We've started giving him a probiotic and it was also suggested we feed him yogurt more often.
I am battling an upper respiratory infection that has moved into my bronchioles. My doctor put me on an antibiotic and hopefully my cough will go away soon and I'll be on the mend. All in all, I think a good night's sleep will do wonders!
Jason is starting to get something as well. We're not sure if it's the same stuff or something completely different. (It's so hard to tell since he works with the public.)
All in all, it's best for people to stay away if you get sick easily. I'm hoping with me being on an antibiotic that it won't get spread to the boys, but it may be too late for that!

Mommy Brain
I didn't realize that Mommy brain continued this long after pregnancy. Mine has gotten a lot worse this past week, but I know I'm not getting enough sleep let alone enough time with Jay. I worked over 50 hours last week and part of that was on Saturday. Actually, I worked a nine hour day on Saturday. We were begged to come in this afternoon and make double time if we came in. I opted to spend the day with my family.
Since I'm working so much, I've found that I'm having a hard time concentrating on pretty much anything. I don't seem to remember much either and all I really want to do is sleep. I still get some exercising in and manage to get some housework done. I'm not really sure how I do it, but I do.
Jay is pretty much over his ear infection. He was done with his antibiotics on Wednesday, but we're still getting it worked out of his system. He is doing well with daycare. He's almost done crying by the time Jason walks out the door. I dropped Jay off on Friday and he cried for a little bit after I left. He's getting to the point where when I pick Jay up, he doesn't come running to see me. I'm very glad he likes being there!
Jason has also been working a lot of hours as well. He's gotten overtime at CyRide and has been working at his second when he can. We don't see much of each other for now. I'm sure we will by Christmas time.
