October 9, 2002

Well, as I was typing the tagline for this entry, I had that feeling that I had just started AF. I was typing "G may have a sibling, but tests keep showing - -." So, I went to the bathroom and sure enough I had spotting. Although, the spotting is brown and thin, I don't think this was the month. I was supposed to start AFing yesterday but all the cramping stopped and I started to feel good. I took more than enough tests in the last couple of days. And they all came back negative. I thought for sure this morning it would be positive. I am NEVER late. I was starting to get used to the thought of it.

On the good side of it, if I do get this job that I applied for then I won't have to quit for maternity leave before the term of the employment.

Other stuff...G has bad allergies/cold. On Monday when we got him from daycare, his eyes were almost swollen shut. He looked very allergic to something. Both DH and I are rarely allergic to anything. He has had a runny nose that is nasty and been waking up in the middle of the night. I thought at first last week that he was teething. I had heard that his eye teeth are painful when they come in. They are coming in so I just figured that was it. I just hope he doesn't get another ear infection. He looked tons better this morning

This past weekend we took G to a local farm. We went pumpkin picking, apple picking, and raspberry picking. We had a great time. We got a few photos that are really cute. We got a 20 lb pumpkin and some baby pumpkins. The small ones are G's or so he thinks so. He carries them around, throws them down the slide and tries to put them in his clothes.

He's doing fine at daycare now. They really love him there. The only problem is naptime. I really should talk to them about alternative nap locations. He just doesn't sleep well and he is so grumpy when I pick him up.

Nothing else going on. Visit my board, I love visitors. I try to look everyday, unless I'm superbusy.
