@PandPMeant2B I was more upset for my DH than I was for me. It sucks, but life goes on. He's never seen it before and it truly is something terrifying to watch someone you love go through. He told me today that he couldn't get the image or sounds (I apparently grunt) out of his head. That breaks my heart.
I'm sorry @pennstated912 I know what he means...I still have images of Ava Nichol's seizures in my head. I can't spin her or make her dizzy because that is what she was like and it throws me back. He may be a little edgy for a while watching you to make sure you are okay but only because he loves you. I am sorry that both of you had to go through that but I hope upping your meds does the trick and you can put it behind you soon! *hugs*

A day late, but my little peanuts are 4 months old. DS can roll from belly to back now! DD slept from 1030 to 715 overnight! The sleeping isn't something that happens routinely though, and I still had to wake up for DS, but it's still pretty good.
What are you craving? salami and pickles. and vinegar
What is grossing you out? cookies, cakes, milk
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? a card from my aunt and a close family friend! so sweet
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? nope, still waiting for my first "real" appointment next wednesday!
Have you / will you found out the sex? no
Any names picked out? yes
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? same as last week. a pile of junk!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I totally played the pregnancy card twice this week: 1st to get out of proctoring MCAS. (our state testing) I thought it would be difficult for me to wait for coverage when I had to run out of the room to puke, the woman in charge of scheduling proctors agreed...(note, I have had terrible m/s and do have to abandon my classroom every 30-45 min)
Then last night while waiting for food at a restaurant I told the waitress that I knew our food wasn't going to be out for a while, but I was going to be sick if I didn't eat soon b/c I was pregnant (which was true) and asked if she could bring some of the bottomless fries that came with my meal ASAP. Those fries were there in seconds. mmmm
@wiggyslilsis I'm so sorry you had to go through that with Ava Nichol. I always say that it's harder for the people watching a seizure than it is for the person going through it. Is she on meds now? If you ever need to talk about it or have any questions, I'm here.
Thanks @pennstated912 she isn't on meds and they never found out why it happened. Her pedi said it is a possibility she is still having them but just mildly because I told her I notice her getting wobbly and falling Down sometimes and it freaks me out. She said it could have been a one time thing or it could still be going on but the good news is that she is young so her brain should be growing and devolping helping her "grow out of it".
We just haven't had any closure from it all so iI am still scared it is going to happen again. Her pedi said it also could have been a virus that caused it and that it just didn't have any other symptoms. I try to remind myself of that theory all the time and it has been almost a year since her first seizures so that is a good sign.
I wish I had known more about seizures before it happened. Like if we had known that it isn't hurting her or causing damage it wouldn't have been quite so scary.

@wiggyslilsis It drives me insane that there isn't more awareness around epilepsy/seizures. It's so insanely common and pretty much everyone knows someone who has had them (I believe the stat is 1 in 20 people will have one in their lifetime), and yet, no one knows anything when it happens.
That's why I started my blog. If I can create awareness for even one family, then it was worth doing.
@linnae939, are you located in MA? I hate those darn tests. I'm from MA too.
Yup. Western MA. (it always drives me nuts that the "local" boards have a cape and the islands, and a boston...but the rest of the state doesn't exist...) Our students are cranky this week, and if I ask them to do anything, it's the most ridiculous suggestion in the world (even the juniors and seniors who get to come to school late!) I hope your students aren't too whiney!
Lol I'm not a teacher, but I had to take them. Science and history were not mandatory to be graded, but we were expected to take those two tests. I doodled in mine.
I'm in Southeastern MA. I feel the same way about the local boards. Boston is an hour from me.
