Wow almost a year.
I’ve been so bad at keeping up with my diary and for that I apologize. Last year Dave was having a lot problems with stress and anxiety from work and he actually was at the ER a few times because he thought he was having a heart attack. It was crazy and I was so stressed because it took them months to figure out that his problems were just anxiety. He was having terrible sinus infections to where his head would swell and they ran all these tests thinking something else was wrong with him. Then they found a spot on his liver while running another test so then they wanted to run fursther tests. Running all the test just made him feel as if he really did have something more serious wrong with him and it would cause him to have panic attacks. It was just a vicious cycle and we didn’t know what to do or what was going on. All the other tests finally came back clear and then Dave had to come to realize that all his symptoms were stress/anxiety related. That was hard to deal with too because then you have to tell yourself that your problems are all mental. Nobody wants to hear they have mental problems! Anyway after changing his meds a few times, he’s finally on the mend. Up until recently he really was having a hard time trying to relax and not stress out about everything. I’m just glad I’m finally getting my husband back to normal.
Christmas was okay, but a bit of a downer too because we had a pipe break in the house a week before Christmas leaving us with both showers being unusable. Luckily we have three bathrooms, but the one that was usable only has a bathtub! Okay taking a bath once in a while is okay when I’m in the mood, but everyday? NO NO NO!!! So now it’s been almost three months and finally after dealing with the insurance company and everything we might have one working shower by next week. Oi! I can’t believe how long it’s taken for them to do this and everyone is ready for it to be done with.
In other news Dave and I found out in february that we are expecting baby #2! We were a bit surprised, but we’re happy and Keira is thrilled that she is going to be a big sister. Okay I am really going to try to keep this diary going again. lol Today Keira is going to a playdate and then hopefully tomorrow we’ll just be a quiet night in. I’m fighting a bug of some sort right and I don’t think I’m going to do too much tonight. I hope everyone is doing well in OD land!
I’m glad you’re back… and that Dave is feeling better! Congratulations on your pregnancy! you’ll find out if you read my diary that we’re trying to get pregnant at the moment… we conceived twins last November, but found out after 3 months that they’d stopped growing. Slowing coming to terms with everything that’s happened. It’s a sad time for us. Great to see you around again 🙂 xx
