I had to reschedule my ultrasound that was scheduled yesterday. I felt aweful. I have had so many stomach, acid reflux problems this pregnancy and I am also taking heavy duty anitbiotics (3x a day) for a sinus infection that I am a mess. I was very disappointed to cancel it since I have so been looking forward to it but I was afraid of what would happen when they started pushing on my stomach during the ultrasound. I’m rescheduled for Friday.

I had Ethan on the Singulair (sp?) because the doctor said that since his nose spray didn’t work to prevent sinus infection that he needed another medication. She said that one of the side effects was nightmares so I gave it to him in the morning instead of at night which is what is recommended. Anyway, after several nights of him waking up crying 2-3 times from dreams and having to help him back to sleep, I stopped the medication. George and I decided we’d rather have him have a sinus infection than be up throughout the night. And since I can never fall asleep after I am wakened like that, I have been very tired and cranky.

Well it’s been seven months now and today we are finally getting water in the pool. It’s a very exciting day around the Fox household. The only drawback is once the windows come in that we’ve ordered, we’ll have strange men around the house all summer putting up siding and windows while we are in the pool. Oh well. Hopefully it won’t take as long as the pool because this momma would not be happy to have a newborn while people are hammering and drilling on the outside of the house. Pictures of the pool will be posted soon.

Since I have pregnancy brain, I am greatly envious of Ethan’s memory. I have been working with him on learning John 3:16 lately. He knows it but but requires some prompting to say it. So I think to myself that maybe it’s too long of a verse. Then I hear him in his room quoting word for word his stories that we read to him, Berenstain Bears, Arthur, bible stories, etc. Now I’m thinking maybe we should work with him on learning the whole book of John.

We went to Sebring for mother’s day to visit George’s mom. Ethan and I went Friday morning because George was working a 48. This was not the best mother’s day for me. Since Ethan has had his sinus infection he has been most disagreeable. I spent most of the weekend crying from frustration in dealing with him. That combined with my back pain, acid reflux, and sinus issues, I have not been a happy camper. When George arrived on Saturday, he took over and I got to take a nap. Yay! I’m beginning to wonder if Ethan doesn’t like me. I have not been myself since I got pregnant and I’m sure it bothers him a lot. It bothers me too.
