Monday a few plans got cancelled so I was able to schedule an appointment with a doctor for an infection Isaac has. Isaac is at that stage where he says "its scary" or something along those lines and will get so emotional about things. I tried to explain that a doctor is there to help you get better, you don't like your owie, and he can help us fix it. We watch Doc McStuffins sometimes so tried to use her as an example. He eventually calmed a bit but was upset about going to the doctor still.
When we got there he told the nurse about his owie and the doctor and even stepped on the scale (26 lbs haha) by himself etc, yay!!! accomplishments. It was a LONG appointment partly because I misunderstood one part and was waiting in one area instead of another....ugh lets blame it on pregnancy brain lol
On our way home Isaac said "That wasn't scary!" =] Another yay moment!
That afternoon I needed to lay down on the couch for a little bit. And Jackson came over and put a blanket on me, gave me his teddy bear, and 3 kisses on the nose and 3 hugs! awwww very sweet!
Sadly I woke up sick at 4:30am....the same sick I had last time where I was throwing up for like 10 hours. I didn't heal as fast like last time but partly because I couldn't sleep well Tuesday night which didn't help me heal.
Anyways i'm grateful Spencer was able to stay home with me. Because I knew what the sickness was going to be like I expected how it would go for the most part. But you still hit a point where you can't get sick again, you just can't do it! But your body doesn't care what you want lol I still have no idea if it was like a flu thing or a food thing but it doesn't really matter. I woke up this morning feeling SOO much better (at 4:30am lol and couldn't fall back asleep go figure)
When i'm sick I like to be sick alone, so I will shut myself in a room or bathroom depending on the time etc. My heart was racing so much that I couldn't sleep much so this time around I really was on my phone a lot to pass time. And at one point started craving ice water!
But our bedroom door doesn't lock....I don't think. So every so often Jackson would sneak into the bedroom. It was adorable lol nice little moments to brighten my day. At one point I dropped my phone on the ground and so when he came in I asked if he could pick it up for me. So he picked it up and then gave me my drink and said drink, then tore off some toilet paper and said nose for me to blow my nose and then tried to give me another blanket. lol He can be such a sweetheart!
One time he sneaked in and gave this sly smile and whispered "hi mommy" and spencer was in there but didn't know Jackson was yet and then yelled HI DADDY! lol
And then Spencer brought Isaac in at one point and said he wanted to just sit and snuggly by me for a little bit and I said that was fine, he was really good at being careful and gentle around me. =]
Baby girl's name is Emma, this time around she moves so she moved A LOT probably very upset that I was jousling her around and she wasn't getting much food lol but it meant we had some small bonding moments as well.
A little later in the day I asked for a blessing, i'm so thankful for the Priesthood and the comfort, reminder, guidance, and blessings it gives us. Part of it was saying sometimes things happen to bring us closer to Him again. Which I have to admit I've been struggling to get back to wear I was in the gospel. It's a very slow start back but I was reminded of the scripture. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me…for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matt. 11: 28-30)
Sometimes we are given more than we can handle and that's to remind us that we have the Savior to help us pass those hard struggles that we can't do alone.
< this picture describes exactly how I felt I was as I was so broken down and helpless and needing my SaviorI have a loving husband who brought me things I needed and took care of the kids but even with loving spouse and friends there was only so much people could do so my Savior was there in the beginning or I should say I was constantly communicating with him the moment I knew I was sick and was desperately going to need his help. But in those hard sick moments I also witnessed beautiful moments from my sweet little family that reminded me the good i'm doing.
It's very easy to forget and not be grateful for your health until your in poor condition. I have goals and things I would like to accomplish but I can't be perfect in them yet. Just a few steps at a time but I have come along way in a few ways and I will take that! =]
There were other thoughts I had planned to say, I should of taken notes when they popped in my head so eventually I may be writing another post.
