I'm 26 weeks today! After this week I begin my final trimester. I feel so blessed to have finally made it this far. I know there will always be the possibility of something going wrong these last three months but I'm not going to think about it. I have been so busy since Matt started ALS. I'm still homeschooling, but Jarrett became sick Friday evening. Saturday thru Monday he had a very high fever that I just could not break, along with several asthma attacks. I went three days with little to no sleep. Now I'm coming down with something, I can already feel my throat becoming sore and my chest congested. I just hope baby will be okay.  In the meantime I have to get Jarrett to his appointments, file our taxes, educate my son and make sure my husband is fed at his dorm ( which means I cant take short cuts on cooking this week) I've cancelled my physical therapy, there's just no time for it, and there are not many people who are willing to watch my son around here. People hear the word Autism and act like he's got the plauge or something. I'm kinda dreading next week, on top of homeschooling my son and taking care of him alone, I have two doctors appointments and I'm babysitting my sisters three kids while they head to a funeral in Ft. Worth. I'm most likely going to have to take care of 4 kids for the first three days of my week. It's going to be intresting taking 4 kids to my OB's office and to my ultrasound..two of which are extremely hyperactive..lol...My hubby will still need me to bring meals to his dorm twice a day.....which I have to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get to smiley-undecided.gif Sorry I just need to vent at the moment. I will be very glad when Feburary get's here and I get my husband back.  I would kill to go to a movie alone at this point smiley-tongue-out.gif
