No faking this one. Not that I fake it other times.... but I really have been struggling with nausea and auras. The auras are what I have before a seizure (I have "partial simple seizures"), I hope the up and coming EEG will show what I've been seeing. I go get the EEG in two days. I also have an MRI of my brain coming soon too (just a routine test after brain surgery 13 years ago). I just want everything to be normal, yet I want the pain to be validated and my mind to not assume I'm making all this up. Uggg....
The sharp, sharp head pains remind me that I have never been promised tomorrow. Makes me look at things differently. The pain is very specific and kinda feels like the prelude to a brain aneurysm.
I'm tired of being sick and having all these issues. Sure makes me unique in some ways. 5.27.2013
Can you see it? His hand on my face-- at the very bottom of the pic? Oh how I love him! He explores everything, and I LOVE it when he touches my face. I really wanted a child who was this full of love! With my DD, I never had this, so I'm eating this up!! Aaron reaches for my face just to cuddle with me! I can't believe just how lovable and cute his personality is!! Just had to share, lol! 5.11.2013

Feels like the calm before an elaborate but beautiful storm, and it's only a matter of time before it hits. Dh still doesn't have a job, but we are so full of joy. I can only explain it as a "God thing." We have only a few ideas of how we are going to make ends meet, but it's as if someone told us that right around the corner we will have a house and all the things we've been praying for.
Update on baby Aaron: He's now 6 months old! It seems in the last 72 hours he has decided he wants to eat solids and wants to actually open his mouth for a spoon--quite the battle up until this point. He is now making a very real effort to sit up and LOVES to watch me! I think I'm his best friend!! Oh how fun!
Weird tid-bit... I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY losing my hair. I can't wait to look back at this blog entry and have this stupid problem be one of the past. I just got a hair cut to hide the volume issue, and I love it! It's an angled cut that is shorter in the back than the front. I haven't had short hair since brain surgery 13 years ago, and I actually miss this length! I have to have it professionally cut every once in awhile to keep this look, but that's all part of the fun, I guess. We used our tax return to give me this look. Thank God for little blessings like that- both tax returns and new hair cuts!
I am sitting here listening to my DD and DH laugh. Today is a Sunday, and with all of our issues however great or small, we are together and safe. Regardless of what Monday brings, I have so much to be thankful for!

Never thought 100 PP would go by so fast or so wonderfully! Ohhh... I am so thankful for my DH. He is the only reason I'm not locked in my house crying. I'm still in a strange land, mind you (I just moved prior to my stay in L&D), and know really only the ladies at my DD's school. I think I would be going crazy without real people - you know the ones who know English! Oh, my goodness. I can only imagine how hard it would be without my DH!
So here is what is going on. I'm still pumping each time Aaron feeds and only BFing when I want (rarely!). DH bottle feeds Aaron at nearly EVERY. SINGLE. FEEDING. Wonderful DH!! He is amazing and never complains. I look over at him some times and wonder what the other girls would think, you know, the girls who passed him by? Hehe... I got the one who might have gotten away...
Anyway, back on subject, I'm doing fine other than blood coming out of my right breast. Keeping a check on that for sure! I have read up on it and just watching for now. It has only happened twice now.
Aaron is sleeping reallllly well too!! Last night he slept 11 hours. BABY WISE really worked for us. Aaron seems to be putting himself on the schedule thought! DD did the same thing.
Health watch: Aaron's umbilical hernia is shrinking (they said it would), but it shrank more after we prayed. He still isn't doing as much as I'd like though. He seems slightly delayed. I'm wondering if it was the way he was delivered and the long wait in my vagina or the cord around his neck? Eeeehhhh Time will tell.
Other than that, this child is gaining weight and is truly a precious ray of absolutely delicious sunshine!!
