that is right it is just after 3am and NO I cannot sleep. I have heartburn like a dragon, my own fault for choosing to have pizza for dinner. I am uncomfortable and cannot lie in bed tossing and turning. I wish I had a good book to read. Maybe I will look at my new Real Simple magazine that came in the mail yesterday, I have been doing laundry in the middle of the night, but last time it woke up Anna. I am thinking about poor little Sam as the past two nights I have found him asleep on the hard wood floors in the hallway. He is EXTRA rashy lately, I am not sure what he is allergic to in the fall, but he gets bad now. Ever since the summer in Florida and his nasty pustules & furuncles (I have no idea how to spell that) staph body infection, well I have never quite got his skin in tip top shape. His face is puffy and he has that toxic look about him. I am out of his steroid ointment and the other stuff I cannot put on him while pregnant, Chris never seems to be around at the right time to do that. He goes to the allergist Friday, he will get more blood work to check his levels so hopefully there may be some good news there. We go back to dermatology in a few weeks and I almost prefer going there as they are more on top of things. Sometimes I think he may go to too many drs and never really feel like anything gets done. But really there is not much that can be done, no easy fix. I really feel awful when he gets so itchy like now and is miserable. Just have to wait for him to hopefully outgrow this stuff, which is nice to know there is that possibility b/c there are far worse ailments he could have...cancer, diabetes, etc. In my family there are 6 kids with all being relatively healthy growing up with the exception of John with juvenile diabetes, so we are just rolling the dice everytime with another child.
I finally washed all the baby clothes, but I think she needs some more, socks, onesies...I need to get loose ends tied, perhaps wash the bedding for the bassinet. I did buy the baby soap and lotion, I love the way babies smell. I think Sam will do fine with the baby, not sure about Nolan. he is so funny lately. he and Sam "play" chase, wrestle, cars & trains, and little people together, it makes me happy, trying not to impatient with the messes those little ones can make. Since he says few words, really all he says is stop, no while putting his "talk to the hand" up. I am trying to teach him so signs (I only know a few) so we did 'more' one day, and I am sure he thinks it is give me what I want right now, b/c when he wants something (and he is particular and does not hesitate to throw anything right down) he will just put his little hands together over and over like he is yelling with the more sign. I do not know if I can reteach it, but atleast he has something now.
The big kids are doing well in school, they enjoy it which I am glad. I think I am bored with this and my arm feels funny.
