Wheeeooooohhhhh boy. Today was a test, and Dr. update.

Ev woke up sick today so no school.  my 6 week PP appointment was directly after her Dr. appointment, so I had to bring her with me.  (and Emelia was with us, too)  Fun! Indifferent  "mommy.  why does he need to check your pee pee?  Does it hurt you??"

oh man.  (luckily, Ian was with Grandparents during all of this ... b/c that boy can't deal with appointments!)  So... i tried telling the Dr. about my depression/anxiety/anger issues in a from of 'code' so that Evelyn didn't hear the down and dirty truth of it all.  Dr. got the picture loud and clear and decided to have me try a new drug... DO ANY OF YOU HAVE INFO/EXPERIENCE with this???  It's called "Viibryn"  I'm going from 40mg. of Celexa to Viibryn.  Obvs, you guys aren't doctors, but wondering what your thoughts are on this and if you've been on it.  It's apparently new, so..???  I'm kinda nervous b/c it's a whole new type of drug for me.

Anyway... while at the pediatrician with Evelyn (to find out about her ear infection) I tell the Dr. that we've all been exposed to Hepatitis A (my sister in law has it! and we were all huggin' kissin; holding baby, eating, etc...with her on Easter)  So, Dr. gave Ev the Hep A vaccine and wanted Ian to come back for it today.  

So... i rush back to get Ian when all other appointments were done... and now my boobs are totally leaking alllllllllllllll over my shirt.  FML.  I bring him into Pedi's and they tell me he's due for his 18mo. well visit.  ok, fine.  let's do it. We discuss his delays and I start to tear up in office... great. Boobs leaking AND face a mess.  I'm awesome.

blah blah blah blah.

I'm not even sure this sounds as frazzly as I felt today... but GOD DAMN, i'm ready to keel over and not wake up for days.

H is at volleyball after work tonight until about 10pm.

  • Dude, set up a break with H if you can.  

    And you are awesome!  This three-kid-sh!t is no joke and you're doing it well.   

  • dude, that sounds rough. Sorry. :(  Just the part about boobs leaking stressed me out.

    I've never heard of Viibryn, but I hope it works for you.

  • I'm tired just reading that, so I imagine you are dead on your feet. I'm sorry it was such a crazy day, but I am happy that you got some meds, I hope they work. 

    I don't remember you posting about Ian, but I hope everything works out. Sending you big hugs. :)

  • That absolutely sounds frazzly! I would probably ask my H to skip volleyball after a day like that. Hope you get a break this weekend. TGIF!

  • H stayed home from work yesterday b/c i was having a "i hate everything so bad I'm not leaving my bed until 3pm" day. :(

    So... i wasn't about to push it today.  He really does pick up my slack a LOT when I'm useless like that.

    You are so amazing. If I had had the day you dealt with I would be under a desk crying. You're an amazing mother, your kids are gorgeous, and this will all be a funny story in their baby book someday. #teammissy. :)

    Oh Missy. Major, huge hugs. 

    If I lived near you, I'd be over in a split second to help with the kiddos.

    I like privacy. A lot.
  • The vollyball thing is seriously giving me twitchy eye syndrome. 

    I hope YOU are allowed a bit of down time as well. 

    sorry about your hectic day.

  • OK

    I just read your comment.  Your H gets a semi-pass.  LOL

     

  • Oh hunny bunny.

    OK

    I just read your comment.  Your H gets a semi-pass.  LOL

     

    no, he really... i mean.. seriously helps me and encourages me to do things for myself.  He asked me several times if it was ok with me tonight.  He's a great person.  I zone out and am off depressionland several days out of hte week, so when I'm not... i fully expect to see him enjoying his life with volleyball and stuff!  I don't feel as guilty then. 

     

    Edith.. ?  :(  ?  :)  ?  I can't even read your tone on here.  Are you mocking me or saying you actually like me?  pffft.  That's how out of it i am.  I'm self conscience over just that.

    Tongue Tied 

  • ((hugs))  I hope the new meds help and that you get some more rest this weekend!
