A little venting.
Things have been so crazy! I've had to go to the farm just about everyday for the past week. We now have 13 baby goats in totes in my parents' basement. (That's right totes ma goats.) After my dad rolled the snowmobile he's had a lot of pain with a broken rid and badly bruised hip. So, he can't really get around as easily and take care of the goats as well. So I've had to help out a lot. He's also been very busy with my Grandma. Last week I had to have a c-section on one of my favorite goats. She has pneumonia for over a month and antibiotics weren't touching it. She had a hard time breathing so I figured making her go through delivery was just cruel so I scheduled a c-section and then had her put down. That really sucked and the baby isn't doing that great, probably because of all of the meds she was on. But on the happy side, we have a lot of happy, healthy and adorable baby goats. I will get pictures posted asap. TN won't let me load them from my phone.
My grandma has stopped eating and is refusing all medication except morphine. Her pain level is intense and she told us all she wants it to be over. I imagine it will be any day now. All this stress has put my sister into early labor (37.5 weeks.) She went in yesterday with contractions 5 minutes apart for over an hour each around a minute. When she got there she was 90% effaced and dilated to a 3. There was no change after an hour of monitoring so they sent her home, which really surprised me. Her big fear now is that Grandma will pass and the baby will be born on the same day. I understand, that would suck.
Dh's uncle had the tumor removed from his brain stem, and is waiting on biopsy results. Once he's healed from that surgery they need to remove the other tumor on the left side of his brain. Big hopes that neither are cancer. I don't have an update an DH's grandpa, I'm assuming no news is good news.
DH has been having a lot of problems at work and it's been putting him into a crabby mood. He's been nagging me everyday about if the trash was taken out or if laundry needs to be done. I understand that he is going through a lot with his uncle, gpa and having a job he hates, but that is no reason to take it out on me. We've been fighting a lot this week and I'm sick of it. It will pass, but for the time being, it's not helping either of us.
I'm completely drained. I haven't been sleeping well at all. Alex caught a cold last week and is up a lot of the night because of it. I feel like a terrible mother because I've had to take him places all week instead of just letting him get better at home. But what can I do? My family has needed me.
Cookies to anyone that got through that.
Re: A little venting.
You and your H need a cuddle night. I know it's hard with the baby, but try to cuddle, even if for a few minutes. Talk about silly things and you two usually bond over. Hopefully that will help bring your both back into sync.
Think about all those cute goats in totes to cheer you up
Also, sorry I took so long, but your milk bags are in the mail. Should be there around Thursday according to my receipt.
