Things have been a little hectic here as of late, and when I caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror this morning my first thought was actually, "Wow, you have looked better." To start off, both Hammie and Fraser now have pink eye. Sweet. Hammie is pretty good about having the eye drops put in, but Fraser starts screaming and crying as soon as he sees the bottle coming. Since they both have to get drops four times a day, this has made things a little stressful here.


If that wasn't stressful enough right now, I got a call from my OB on Monday saying they had reviewed my last ultrasound and the baby is growing fine, but there is "a small amount of bleeding behind the placenta" and they don't know why. So now I have another ultrasound scheduled for the 26th and I think probably an ulcer from the stress. I wasn't feeling too great before this bombshell, and now I am pretty much ready to crawl into bed an hide for at least a month. Of course after the I got off the phone with the doctor's office I immediately starting googling every combination of "bleeding" "placenta" and "15 weeks pregnant" I could think of. I didn't find anything that I thought exactly fit the bill, but of course I found enough to make me extremely paranoid and incredibly upset. Sometimes I'm not sure having a world of information at your finger tips is really a great thing.


So for now I am trying to take it easy and remain as positive as possible under the circumstances. Andy has been unbelievably wonderful this week. He keeps asking me to make a list of things he can take off my plate and not only has he not batted an eye when he has come home the last two nights to find that I haven't washed a dish since breakfast and the kids toys are covering the floor of every room on the first floor, he actually stayed up both nights after I went to bed to wash all the dishes and pick up the house. (I'd like to say that I wasn't cleaning because I was trying to keep my feet up and rest, but the truth is I was just feeling too depressed to muster the energy to do anything productive at all). He even brought all the dirty diapers downstairs this morning and started the first wash before he left for the gym. Fraser has also been watching a ridiculous amount of TV this week since 1) it makes me feel better to have the distraction of the TV on 2) i don't have the energy to argue with him about what he can and can't watch.

However, in my effort to be positive, here is a photo of Hammie and a video of Fraser that I thought were adorable. Hammie is engaged in his current favorite activity, riding Lightning McQueen backwards through the kitchen. Hours of fun and entertainment. Fraser is describing what he is having for dinner, solely because I think the way he says "avocado" is hysterical. For those who still have trouble understanding him he is saying "Rice and beans and avocado AND eggs."
