Juggling Act!

I cant believe it has been so long since I have posted. Things have been pretty busy around here. Hub was on inventory for 2 weeks, so we literally saw each other in passing. He would come home, I would leave. But things are still pretty good for us. Thank you all that have checked in on me, its just busy.

My 2 year old has started this crazy nose bleed thing.  We heard him crying so we went upstairs, from nose down he was covered in blood, literally there was no white skin showing from his mouth down. It was on the wall, on his brother, on blankets. I seriously have never seen so much blood in my life come from a nose.  I said enough is enough. "Wiser" moms would say oh, its normal, dont worry, hes a boy its expected. UM NO! I listened to my gut and took him in this morning. The ped said the vessels in his nose are extremely close to the surface of the skin and just a simple sneeze can cause him to rupture the vessels. So plan as of now is saline in the nose 4 times a day and vaseline at night.  lol, good luck to us on holding him down, we dont call him bear for nothing!...Dr said if he gets 1 more he will have to go to and ENT. (ear, nose, throat dr) to have the vessels cauterized.

My 3 year has been doing this snoring thing. We can hear him when hes upstairs and we have the tv going downstairs. Our ped said its not normal that it could stop his breathing. He said sounds like his tonsils and adnoids are too large. Ugh, just what every mom wants to hear..their kid can stop breathing. So, Peyton is next in line for a dr appt.

My weight loss has been stuck at the same plateau for a few weeks now and that is ok with me, because I am still way smaller than I was before I started this venture.  I told myself...I am going all out from here on in. I cant let a busy life dictate my needs. At some point, I have to put myself first, or I wont be around to take care of those who need it.

I miss you all. And I promise I will be around more!! Cant wait to check up on you all!

Tonsils

Tatum's tonsils are HUGE.  And we hear her snoring all the time.  Her doctor said that as long as she doesn't stop breathing for 20 seconds or more, it's okay.  He said he could refer us to an ENT, but they will want to automatically take her tonsils out.  And he said it wasn't that crucial.  At least not in her case.  Good luck, though.

How scary!!

Oh girl the nose bleed thing would have had me on edge. I hope everything turns out well with the saline spray and vaseline and that everything is okay at the dr appointment for snoring.

Nosebleeds

I used to have terrible nosebleeds as a child.  Just going from a cool environment to a hot one would trigger one.  Thankfully, I outgrew them, so hopefully your little one will too. 

As far as the snoring, I'd get that fixed ASAP--no mom wants to think that their child is not breathing!  I'll keep you all in my thoughts.   Let us know how it goes.
