ER, Moving, Sick again, Packing...

Emergency Room visit for Carrie...2 weeks ago I woke up and wasn't feeling well which isn't any different since I am always tired and hungry when I wake up! So my friend called and invited Cooper to their preschool since one kid was gone so I took him the one whole block and he was so excited! The girls and I came home and all of a sudden I couldn't hold down whatever wanted to come up! I am sorry if this makes you puke but oh boy did I ever...5 minutes later I felt so much better! I was thinking okay that wasn't so bad...

Picked up Cooper 2 hours later then grabbed lunch for them and of course started to feel yucky AGAIN! Came home and tried to snack on some bread and water and called Ryan home cause I could hardly stand up! He walked in the door and I ran to the bathroom...I was only able to keep down 1 cup of Gatorade! About 8pm I told Ryan I just need and IV so lets go to the ER! Our AMAZING friend Elaine came over and put our kids to bed and when we got home at 1am we had to do my paper route as my last minute subs were out of town! So after 3 bags of IV fluid and 2 different kind of nausea medications that knocked me out between driving up and down streets I felt a lot better...Ryan hasn't been on the route in 18 months but still remembered a lot although he was shocked as we would pass customers I used to have but have quit and my paper route has gone down 20 papers since then...Doesn't sound like a lot but it is in the paper business!! We got home around 2:30 and passed out!

At 6am Cooper wakes up and had puked all over his bed and floor and of course he had drank red Gatorade at dinner!! Cooper takes after me and does not like to puke in a toilet and finished up in the bathtub! I can now puke in a toilet but for a really long time, like up until 3 years ago I had to puke in a bathtub...I know weird but whatever...So I put him our bed with Ryan and then started to clean up his room! After 30 minutes I couldn't take it I was exhausted so luckily my sister-in-law Natalie had her parents Rug Doctor and we borrowed that later that day and Ryan shampooed the carpets and it all came out! Yeah! Cooper and I recovered after a few days but it's hard getting back to eating regular food but we were the only ones to get sick!

So Ryan went back to work 2 days later only to get called into a conference and was told that all Account Managers (his position) were to relocate to Scottsdale, Arizona by May 1st or they would no longer have a job...WOW!! He called me and we had been praying for his job that he would get a promotion or something would happen! BAM! Move to Arizona are you kidding me? I would have loved to have spent the winter down there but pregnant, stress of moving, finding a house, renting ours out and staying sane are just all too much to ask! BUT everything is working out! We have found a few houses that we like to rent that have met our criteria...Sorry we are not getting one with a pool! I am paranoid of my kids sneaking out and me finding them ... you know...Mother's WORST nightmare!! Okay so we are selling a lot of our stuff and were blessed with a big tax return to be able to make this move as we are paying for it!

So as of May 1st or sometime around there we will be living either in Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler or somewhere around there! I was EXCITED to see how many people live down there or around there that I knew from either high school or college when I posted on Facebook!!

So then a week after that Cooper wakes up with a really high fever so we drug him and put him in our bed...Two days later Reese starts freaking out screaming, which if you know our daughter is NOT like her at all! Unless you have candy! Seriously! So after about 30 minutes of her crying and pulling on her right ear and saying OUCH I took her to Urgent Care which I was not excited about because our new insurance requires a $75 copay...I said OUCH my bank account! Luckily we are going to get most of that back but still that is a lot! So after 45 minutes in the drive thru of the pharmacy we had our Amoxicillin and headed home! Cooper still wasn't back to normal and he was getting pretty congested so I had 2 out of 3 sick kids...Sunday comes along and BAM I wake up with a head cold....YUCK! I was just getting rid of the headaches and now this...So 3 of us stayed home from church, no need to spread the love since Reese, Chloe, Ryan and I are all in nursery! My head cold got worse and worse so finally on Tuesday I took some Benadryl and let's just say that whole morning is a blur and I took another one that night but it makes me so nervous to take things besides Tylenol when I am pregnant so I was constantly feeling for the baby to move! Wednesday I didn't sleep good due to all the things about moving running through my mind and so Thursday was crappy! Today I am feeling better and hoping to not over do it!

We have lots of painting and selling to do so that is what we do in our spare time! And if you know of anyone who wants to rent a house up here in Hayden, Idaho let me know! We have done a lot to it that should have been done 2 years ago but we are making it nice for whoever moves in! Also if you have any suggestions on where to live in Arizona let me know!! Ryan will be working out of Scottsdale and doesn't want to drive 2 hours a day getting to/ from work!
