Thursday Tribune

Whew...what a day!! Started off with me going to bed at 12:30am which is my fault but I am a night owl. At 1:30am I hear Cate screaming for me so I go and get her. She comes into bed with us and we stay awake for a bit. Then around 6am she is up and ready to go. I am dead tired and want no part of being awake. So, at 7am we get out of bed and start the day. I get them ready (Kennedy really...the other 2 left in their pj's) and we head off to Kennedy's school. I come home and do some things like pay bills etc...BLAH.....and around 11:30 I notice it is very quiet. I go to check on Cate (she was upstairs) and she went into her room, shut the door and got into bed and fell asleep. The poor thing was so tired she put herself to bed. AWWWW!!!

I had to pick up Kennedy early from school because Sam had a Dr's appt this afternoon. We all hike it over to see Docta Jones. Cate kept saying Doc Doc Nose....LMAO!! I mean like over and over again. I told her yes and that he knows his name so she can stop now. Anyway, I took him because this cough/runny nose is going no where. This boy of mine weighs 16lbs 1oz. I think he is going to be a linebacker. He is HUGE. He doesn't eat all that much really either. Kennedy was 9mths old when she weighed that...he isn't even 4mths yet. Dr. Jones decided he wants to take a gallon of blood to test Sam for some stuff. He is doing a DNA probe and testing for Cystic Fibrosis. He has also ordered for him to have some sort of dye like test to check his chest. He doesn't think there is anything wrong like that but to rule it out. He has put in a referral for us to see a pediatric pulmonologist? and see if she might know what is up. I mean Sam has had this pretty much since he was born. I think it is allergy related and possibly asthma.....Dr. thinks that too. While they were taking the gallon of blood (trying I should say) from Sam Kennedy and Cate were freaking out!! Kennedy was crying so hard...>GET OFF MY BROTHER. SAM IT'S OK....it was quite sweet/sad really. In the end the nurses just took Sam out of the room to do it because the girls were up their butts crying. So...it takes a week or so to get these results back. I am not really worried about it.

I then went out with my friends tonight for some yummy indian and Starbucks. It was nice to be out but I was so tired today. I want to stay home and do nothing. BUT...while I was out Cate went pee on her potty!! WOOHOO!! BUT....a little while later she said she needed to poop and she went on her potty again!! GO CATE GO!! I am so proud of her and can't believe I friggen missed it!!! I hope we are on the road to being pull up free!!

Holy crap...it is midnite and here I am again still awake. MAN....I will never sleep like I need to. I am off to bed.
