Weekend!

Another week is finally about over. I'm thankful for that. It was a rough one, but we're finally on the flip side and things are improving.
Zoey is doing a lot better. Still lazy and weak, but last night she was able to go upstairs. It took a few stops on the steps and I thought I was going to end up carrying her, but she made it. She has not pooped since Tuesday though. That's kind of expected but I still find it strange. They said it might be a week or more because of the amount of meds they had to give her to stop her this time. Still no results from that special blood work that is checking the pancreas but they said it could take a week. All that matters is she is improving lots and will be ok!

On top of the dog issues this week, I've been extra busy because preschool started again. It's only 4 weeks this year but it gives him something to do and look forward to. I decided we will not be signing up for the spring session since we don't know where we will be by that point (hopefully in a new house!) and I don't want to take from some other kid's chance of getting in. He knows that this is his last time and that next fall he goes to kindergarten. He's beyond excited and wants to start "X-ing the days!" I told him we will wait till it's August again and then he can do that.

For the upcoming week, we will be busy again. From Sunday night till probably Wednesday maybe longer, I'll have my taste of what having a 2nd kid will be like. My friend was due Monday, and is being induced this coming Monday. They have to be there extra early so I'll be picking up her daughter Sunday night. I'm hoping it goes well. She does ok with our Thursday & Friday regular days, but she's never been here all night. And apparently she still wakes up at least once per night. But like I said, it will give me a glimpse on what to expect. Maybe I'll decide to run and hide from that idea ever again! just kidding. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Since I finally know when to expect babysitting to end for now, I went ahead and scheduled my appt for the referral. It will be Dec. 7th. Who knows how long it will take to get into the clinic at this point. I can't make the appt though until I have the referral. I'm going to test again next week sometime, and then start this tea. Maybe that can bring things on. I'm up to the 70's now I believe. I'd have to look back to confirm that.
Another thing I need to do before this appt is get back on track with dieting. I've gained back at least 5lbs. While I'm busy, I am not as active as before because it's cold and I don't feel like being outside in that. Most of my busyness is stuck in the car. And we're eating way too much take out and junk food while busy. It has to stop. After thanksgiving of course. I refuse to let this winter get out of control though.
