Ladies this has been a very long weekend for me. Natalie is still sick and they still cannot find what's wrong with her. She had an appointment on Friday with the allergist and he took blood and definitely thinks it's an allergy, but not sure what kind. So he is testing her for milk proteins, whey, soy, etc. She scratches all day long and is having stomach discomfort as well due to the reflux.
I kept telling myself when I was pregnant and had anxiety that it would end. And it did, eventually. Now there are days when I am so exhausted and sleep deprived, and I just don't have patience. I hold either Natalie or Delaney all day long and get nothing done. It's so stressful! I keep saying to take things day by day, and I have been, but my days are all meshing together lately and I feel so discouraged. Four kids has definitely put me over the edge.
Thanks for just listening to me vent today. I just want some sort of sanity. Some sort of peace in my life. Not sure how I'm gonna get it, but I'm praying for some. My mom is coming tomorrow to watch the two younger girls so I can wrap presents.....without that I'd never get it done. I seem to be at the kids beck and call 24/7. One finally goes to sleep, one wakes up. Sigh. Neverending.
Well, I'm off to bed. So sleepy....................

I don't know how you do it, Stacey. It's so hard to have sick kids & even harder with 4 little ones.
I had to ask for help when my kids were little. Never seemed to be enough time in the day to get gifts wrapped or the house cleaned & decorated for the holidays. I am glad you can get your mom to come to help with the kids. Try to sneak some *me* time in there;) You need it!
Let us know what they find with Natalie. My youngest had alot of stomach problems but when it was all done, they decided her's was due to an immature digestive system. Eventually by a year old, she had outgrown it. Sending P&PT's your way. GNSTDLTBBB (((hugs))) jan

Feeling so tired and burnt out is really hard. I'm glad your Mom is coming to help for a bit. Sending P&PT's
