not too much longer....

i havent written in a while, its been a crazy last 6wks being without my love, my right hand man. Dreycin and I have missed him terribly! It was so nice to have him home last weekend, even if it was only 2days. he's scheduled to come home next week :) After having gone through many stateside deployments, and an overseas deployment this by far has been the hardest. Only because we have a baby,who grows and changes everyday. Dreycin and I have stayed busy though, we have started swim lessons, shopped for summer clothes, and are still going to gymboree 2x a week! he has such a little personality. but last night he had a fever, and he was just a little bit crabby....today he woke up the same way. that makes me so sad, and worried. the other thing he has been doing is rubbing his right ear while breastfeeding which makes me wonder if he might have an ear infection....off to the doc we go tomorrow! the girls at work told me to try motrin over tylenol which i might do later tonight if he gets crabby again. As for me, well i'll say "its been nice while it lasted." The past month or so I have noticed that ive been taking more naps and still tired, like i cant get enough sleep, skin rash, inflammation in my back muscles, and relied a little more on my lupus meds. This reminds me of when i was first diagnosed in college, and i would come home from school and take a 4or 5hr nap and my roommate would be like why do you sleep so much....i had no idea until a few months later i was diagnosed with lupus. I had my labs drawn and my complement levels have dropped, which usually is common with a flare. this time it may be a tiny one, but today im going to a new doctor. He's an internal medicine doctor so I feel like he will be able to monitor me a little more closely than someone at a family practice. this came at the suggestion of our insurance. AFter meeting with him he is sending me straight to my rheumy. Go figure stress(derek being gone) = flares, oh well at least I have had my wonderful mom by my side!! So life goes on....but in the meantime im having a blast, with naps and all! I really cant wait until Derek comes home so i can start a workout routine again, and have ME time!!! We all know mommies need it!!!
