All is going well, except I'm completely exhausted!
Carrie constantly wants to be cuddled, or eat :p And I'm trying, but it's hard
to keep up hours with her. =) We had a doctors appointment on Wednesday, and
she has thrush, and *hates* her medication. Otherwise she's fine.. getting fat
though. When she was born, she was 7 lbs 10 oz.. they lose weight after, and by
1 week should weigh about their birth weight again.. Not Carrie.. She weighed 8
lbs 3 3/4 oz.. definitely gaining weight and getting enough to eat! :P They
told me that I have an infection, in my uterus or something or other.. I don't
remember exactly, so I'm taking antibiotics for that. Sucks, but oh well, I'll
survive.
Mike isn't going to make it in town this weekend to see
Carrie, I guess. Finance problems or something. Mom and I are going to be
leaving probably the 21st until the 31st to go to Pennsylvania, to pick up baby
stuff, and to visit. So I don't think he's going to make it in town until after
that. The trip should be interesting, with a newborn, who has to stop to eat at
least ever 4 hours.. and she likes to eat a lot more often than that. Plus to
change her diapers and what not. The trip might take awhile. We're driving ;p
so.. But it will be great to see the family, and I can't wait to introduce them
to Carrie. :) She's so adorable. I should have pictures of her up *soon*
Like, maybe Tuesday. Anyhow, I better get some sleep.. :) Bye :)
Sunday, 5-9-99
*Yawns* I am sooo completely exhausted. When I woke up
this morning, my brother made some smart-ass comment on the dark rings around my
eyes.. ;) I LUB YOU TOO SHAWN!^%$ Oh well. :) I don't suppose I'll be able to
sleep much for quite awhile still, so what does it matter, right? I might as
well just get used to it. As I've said to a few people, I used to conf so much
and stay up for days at a time.. So it's not *so* bad. I can sort of manage..
*yawns* maybe.. hehe. Well, my mom gave me a Mother's Day card.. What a weird
concept. :)
Carrie's thrush is starting to go away, which is a good
thing. :) But she still has to take her medication for another 10 days, 4 times
a day. And she really hates her medicine. Not that I can blame her.. I don't
like my medicine much either, but I'm trying to do my best to remember to take
it.. ;) Following Jason's orders, I suppose ;))
I have an appointment
this week to get Carrie onto Medicaid.. Mike said he's going to put her on his
insurance, but not yet, and to go ahead with Medicaid for now. So we'll see how
that goes. I have no clue what to expect from the appointment, since I'm not
very used to this kind of stuff. Life is pretty weird sometimes.
I
talked to Jenny a bit this weekend, she's staying at her mom's. Apparently her
and Josh had another fight.. I don't know what's going to happen with them.. I
just don't know. She knows what I think, but that doesn't mean she'll listen to
me or agree with me. =) But I guess she has to figure it all out on her own.
I just hope it all works out since she has Kalob to worry about, and now another
baby on the way. She's about 4 months pregnant now. Kalob and the baby must
come first..
Lets see, what else can I write about? Mom and I are
trying to convince Shawn to come back to Pennsylvania with us too.

PM
Well, I stopped writing earlier because Carrie woke up, and I had to deal
with her, and then I ate and now she's about to wake up again I believe to eat.
=) So not much time to write, but I figured I should finish this. =)
Speaking of her, she just cried, so.. bye :)

Welp, Carrie's 2 weeks old today.. Woowoo :) I should
have pictures of her up today or tomorrow at the latest.. They should be back,
but I haven't gone to pick them up yet, and it's uhm... 7:40 pm now :p But I'm
going to attempt to go get them today because I really wanna see them. :)
*beams* She's so cute.. well, at least *I* think so, though I might be biased,
I suppose.. ;) Anyway, Mom picked Carrie and I up and we went to work with her
again for a bit today. A few people at the office wanted to see her, so we got
to show her off some more.. Of course, everyone loved her. :) As usual ;)
Anyway, not a whole lot going on, so nothing to write about. :)) Bye
Wednesday, 5-12-99
Welp I got pictures up of Carrie. They're at
http://www.tmcom.com/~paige/pictures/carrie I
forgot how red she was right after she was born *laughs* but she's still
adorable, in my opinion. *Grins* Anyhow, all is going fine. I have an
appointment to get Carrie on medicaid tomorrow, so that should be interesting..
It's at 8 am *yick*. Oh well, such is life right? Mom's gonna go with me so
that should help, since I have *no* clue what I'm doing. Anyhow, not much new
going on other than that.. Carrie's starting to stay awake a little bit longer.
She spends a lot of time just looking around, she seems to really like my mom's
ceiling.. erm.. heh :)
Thursday, 5-13-99
Well today has been alright. Had my meeting this
morning, I'm apparently going to try the 'job supplement program' or something
like that. It'll put Carrie and me both on Medicaid.. So whatever my mom's
insurance doesn't cover for my future doctor bills, Medicaid will pick up. So
that's cool. Meeting took about an hour, it was pretty boring overall. I have
lots more forms to fill out now.. *yay* *rolls eyes* :) Haven't done much else,
slept a bit and what not.. taking care of Carrie.. The usual. :) Anyway :)
Sunday, 5-16-99
All is well. Ric came home for the weekend, so he
*finally* got to see Carrie.. :) He didn't even want to hold her ;) But mom
made him. And he was such a nice brother, he baby-sat *twice*.. Once yesterday
when Mom and I ran to Wal-Mart to get diapers, etc.. and once today when Mom and
I ran to the fabric store real fast so she could find some materials to make
Carrie *another* bonnet... Mom's getting so 'grandmotherly'.. it's cute. :)
Anyhow Mom left tonight to go to Billings for the week, though she said she's
going to try to make it back Thursday if possible, so we can get ready to leave
Friday sometime. For Pennsylvania that is. Whee, I can't believe I'll get to
see my family soon! The drive will not be *too* fun, but I can't wait to see
everyone.. I miss them so much. Heh. :) Anyhow, not a lot other to write about
so :) Bye :)
Monday, 5-17-99
*yawn* it's like.. 4:30 am and I haven't been to sleep
yet. Reason being Carrie has been fussy all night, I'm not sure why. I think
she's finally falling asleep .. But I'm not sure yet. She might not have been
feeling well.. I really have no idea. :P So that sucks.. but anyhow, I think
I'm going to attempt to sleep now.. So good night :)
Friday, 5-21-99
Alright, we're out of here. :) Headed to Pennsylvania
and won't be back until the 31st so.. :) Should be interesting. Bye!@#@
