since the bronchitis/cold has resolved itself for nick, things have been awesome with him. he's been to school for 7 school days in a row with no headaches and no coughing. i think i can see a light at the end of the tunnel now! maybe we're even out, i surely hope so! tuesday we go to the neurologist for follow-up, then he has a ct scan since he's finished with the round of antibiotics prescribed by the ent. all that's left for him after that is follow-up with the opthamologist for one more test, but it's not going to show us anything for the headaches. so i guess the key turned out to be the elavil, which is fine with me as long as it's working. eventually i'd love to get him off of it, but for now it's definitely better than the alternative. i have my kid back, he's not dizzy, in bed, and in severe pain that makes me want to cry for him...it was so hard for me to watch him deal with all of that because he's such a good kid and hardly complains about anything.
on to other things...
tuesday i also have an ob appointment, i'll be in the 2nd trimester tomorrow. i can't wait to hear the heartbeat again! nick will be with me this time, elisabeth was there the last time. (she saw the ultrasound, nick will just get to hear the heartbeat) i think we'll take the whole family for the next ultrasound, so everyone gets to see the baby...if they can all make it depending on what's going on with school and work, etc. morning sickness is better some days and back others, the exhaustion is still there, but if i could get a full night's sleep i'm sure that would be better. all of my clothes are getting tight on me...boo. i don't want to gain much with this pregnancy since i'm already above where i should be, so i really need to get my butt moving and exercising...along with eating better. at least the girl scout cookies won't be an issue for much longer. (i have some in the freezer, hopefully i can keep them there instead of my mouth!)
i'm behind in my schoolwork, but my profs were pretty cool about it. with dealing with nick's issues, it's really thrown me off the schedule i wanted to keep with my classwork. i have a test today and some chapter reviews i need to complete this weekend and i'll be okay. i'm going to catch up on all of the other stuff over spring break.
well, i think we're going to go stuff eggs for the EGGStravaganza at church tomorrow. so i'd better get myself together and ready to go. i'm so not ready for easter, i need to get on it for sure! just one more thing to juggle, right?!?
