We have new floors - they are stunning, they would have been even more enjoyable had our boy NOT gotten a tummy bug that had him puking every hour from 6am this morning. I KID YOU NOT! RIGHT ON THE NEW FLOORING! It hasn't even been laid one day! ... and yes on the new carpet in my bedroom too, it was a sad, sad morning. Thankfully i was up to date with all the washing so a few extra loads today was not a hassle. What was a hassle - trying to clean off the layers of mortar dust all over the walls and every surface from the laying of new wood laminate - pretty peed off - we just put up a new light fixture in the foyer which now looks a hundred years old with all the crap over it- i am leaving it for the carpet guy to look at when he comes next week to do a once over of the walls again to try to clean them. The ceiling fan is beyond help - we wanted to get a new one anyway so I guess now is a good time.
in other news....
I am heading to LR for a level 2 ultrasound to check my baby is o.k - there have been some issues over an SSRI i have been taking (had i known the effects i would have stopped taking it ASAP) it is a bit of a mess up with my medical team who failed to fill me in despite me expressing my concern after reading a Vogue article on SSRI's and heart valve defects and pulmonary hypertension in newborns. I had to chase them up again asking why I hadn't heard back from anyone - only then to be told to stop taking the medication straight away. Of course I did, with awful side effects - but the medical team knew I was on this even before I got pregnant with this little one! so all in all I was very upset with my medical team, and they have fully admitted their lack of care/ oversight - which was suprising but also helpful. Now rather than being scared and upset, I am focusing on what needs to done from here on out. The likelihood of any complications is still very slim, and I have been reasurred that they don't expect any problems, but the fact is the risk is still exists and it is my baby, and they should have informed me about the new information on this drug when I first saw the clinic. They will also have an NICU NP in the room on delivery at my OB's request, which i think they are doing as I was pretty upset about this whole issue and they are really trying to make sure my confidence is somewhat restored in their system. Plus Pulmonary hypertension, although reversible, can be fatal. The medical team needs to know to be prepared for it.
Will keep everyone filled in on any updates via the blog. the u/s is on the 22nd of this month.
