Date night

Joe had to work in Florida Thursday and Friday. He got back home around 6:30, just in time for date night. I was hungry for Mexican food. Since it was 7 by the time we were out looking for restaurants, everywhere had a 30-minute wait for two people! We are used to going to dinner at 5:00, which is before Friday night crowds. We ended up at the food court in the mall because we wanted to eat soon! After we ate, we were going to go to Target so I could get a belly band, but instead I went to Motherhood Maternity store. They were having a sale (buy 1, get second 50% off). I tried on jeans and pants for work and date nights. I bought two awesome pairs of jeans with the stretchy stomach panel and pair of black stretch pants, kind of like exercise pants. I am going to wear them to work though. I saw a couple of sleeveless dresses I liked and a lot of shirts (tank tops and 3/4 length). I didn't have a need for those right yet, but I am excited to go back. I liked the selection at Motherhood much better than the selection at Target. The prices weren't as bad as I thought they would be. In the dressing room, they had strap-on bellies so you can see what you would look like in clothes 5-6 months pregnant! My goal is to clean out my closet today. There are clothes in there that I have not been able to wear in years and I never will be able to. I want to see what I have so I know what I will need over the next few months.

Mastocytosis (Urticaria Pigmentosa)

Probably around January we noticed 3 brown spots on Lincoln. We thought he was getting moles or something. They popped up around the same time. The brown lesion is above his nipple At his 6-month well check (3/19/12), I asked the pediatrician to look at them. She said that moles don't pop up like that so we should have a dermatologist take a look at them. We scheduled an appointment with Joy Chastain's office (3/23/12), which Joe and I have been to for our skin. There are three ladies that work there and the one we were there to see, went to get another lady to look at them too. They were spouting off a lot of medical terms with their predictions. Ultimately, they recommended a biopsy so we could see what they were. Joe held Lincoln tight, which he didn't like. They injected numbing medicines and then they cut a piece of the one on his back. It was over quickly. I didn't like my babies' smooth skin being cut and scarred. We were told to keep it moist with Vasel

Adjustment Disorder "Stress Response Syndrome"

My frustration with watching the kids at home 12+ hours a day and being unemployed since June had taken a toll on me. The kids were going to school part and full-time over the summer and up until October 31. For the last month and a half, I had both kids home all day. My temper, patience, and boredom were reaching an all time high. Having a second was like having 10 to us. When people talk about wanting kids or a second, inside I yell, "Don't do it!"   I know it is just a matter of perspective and capability. For Joe and I, we struggle regularly to survive and work cohesively. Everyday is a battle. What to eat, which bathroom to potty in, stool or no stool, lights and fan, door open or closed, what shirt/pants/socks/shoes, what cup to drink out of, brush teeth or not, which paste/brush to use, what snacks/lunch/dinner to eat, which car seat to sit in, water or milk to drink, which movie to watch, bath or not, bubbles or not, which toys to play/share, which route to

Hypomelanic Macules "Ash leaf spots"

Image
On November 30, I noticed a white spot on Grey's upper left thigh. I know the date because I keep a calendar with all the daily events and I record them for her (and us). Anyways, the spot looked like a birthmark to me. I have a port wine mark on my upper left thigh too. So I wrote on her calendar- birthmark. I took her for her 6-month well check on Monday, December 23. After her exam, I asked about her scalp (cradle cap) and the spot on her leg. Turns out, it isn't a birth mark...Before he replied, he asked, "Is that the only one?" I told him as far as we knew and it popped up a few weeks ago. He said it was there when she was born, but it is just now noticeable because pigment in her skin. Apparently, if there are a few, it is tuberous sclerosis and it is dangerous. He didn't go into detail, but he did say you don't want that. Like any curious and concerned parent, I researched "ash leaf spot" so I could learn more about what my daughter has.
