we're home. treyson got to come home with oxygen. he's still sick, but improving daily. mom, on the other hand, is now sicker than a dog. AWESOME. But no time for me to be sick...there is too much to do.
Nostrils to be suctioned, oxygen tanks to be fixed (pain in the butt), breasts to be pumped, fussy baby to be comforted, laundry to finish, binkies/bottles/blankets to be sanitized, doctors appointments to be made, hospital bills to be paid,etc etc etc. In addition, we are house bound for another MONTH. I can't take Treyson anywhere and with TRevor's longer hours, it is quite possible I'm going to lose my mind after 2.5 months home with him already in order to AVOID RSV...haha what a joke.
Needless to say, I'm so grateful he's getting better...but folks, I'm exhausted and morale is low. I hope Jack B. makes me feel better tonight.

Yea! I'm so happy he's home, but sorry you're sick. Sounds like a visit from Trey's Grandma is much needed. That's what I'd be crying for!
So glad you are all home!!! Hope you feel better soon. Mommy's never get sick days! ugh!!
I am so glad you all are home! There's nothing like home :) let me know if you need anything!
I'm so glad you hear he is home! I wish you lived near and I would so be there to help you out!
Ok here is your answer….MULTI TASK. This is what you do, delegate Trevor the oxygen, sanitizing and hospital bills. Now those three are done! You on the other hand set up shop by the washer and dryer and do as follows.
*Get a shelf and put your pump on it at chest level and get boob #1 going
*Boob #2 is going to comfort the fussy baby (no more fussing;)
* one hand is going to suction nostrils
* one hand is going to take care of laundry
* after the number to the doctors office is dialed just put the phone up to your ear and make the appointments for the next month or two.
There you have it;) You are now Nostril sucking, breast pumping, baby comforting, laundry finishing and doctor appointment setting all at the same time in one swoop. Don’t worry it can be done, as anyone who has lived in a third world country for any amount of time knows! If you get pregnant now you might be able to do away with the pump and just have a kid on each breast! I am glad your home and trey is showing signs of improvement. Wish I could come by and help you out so that you could sleep! Love you.
Oh I'm so sorry you now have to pump as well. You must be so exhausted. Please please please call your ward and make them help you. Is there anyone in your ward that ISN'T sick that can hold him for a while so you can just sleep?
I'm glad you are home, I hope he keeps getting better. Keep us updated.
you can do it. i know you can. you're such a good mom.
haha who ever ryan is, he's funny!
You are sweet! I still have a few lbs to go even tought it feels like I have way more! I need to really get to working out. I think the breastfeading has really helped and just time. The first bit fell off so fast, then I platoe (honestly I can't spell) then lost more and platoe again, etc.. (hahaha I suck at spelling). Time has been the key. I just need to get James to stop wanting Oreos in the house so I don't eat them too! I also need to figure out how to bring things back up north again! Any suggestions? Let me know! I swear EVERYTHING has already headed South! Or not even headed it's there :(
SOOOO glad you guys are home. I have been thinking about you constantly and you are all in our prayers. I'm so glad you have such a strong little fighter on your hands. :)
glad you're home andrea! it can only get better from here, right?! good luck adjusting. i'm so sorry you have to go through all of this with your first.
and, i love your brother. how does that comment not leave a smile on your face?
I'm glad the little guy is doing well enough to come home! Now, mama, you just take care of yourself (and him) and get better. Lacy and I were talking the other day and we think we need to come visit (when Trey is up to it of course)
It really is hard. It's hard to love so much. A blessing and a curse, I guess. When I realized something was wrong I became absolutely obsessed with learning everything I could. Still am. Turns out my diagnoses was correct. But now I have to figure out if its a milk allergy that is causing it or if he just has it so I can decide what to do from here. Didnt it break your heart when Trey smiled at you in the hospital? Tof smiled at me yesterday and my heart almost burst.
soo happy that you are now home! try to sleep when trey sleeps. keep it up mama.
Hi Andrea! I was so excited to find you're blog as I haven't seen you since the lovely days in the Santa Barbara quad. Glad to hear your home from the hospital...hope baby Trey gets better soon! xoxo
