Sounds like you could use a little time to rest. One of my friends actually hired a babysitter for the afternoon so she could go take a nap, while she was pregnant with her 2nd child!

that sounds like a good idea! i wish i could go ahead and do that. unfortunately if i stay int he house and shut any door (even if i'm not behind it) as long as erilyn thinks i've exscaped she comes running and crying. nathan knows all about it cause he sometimes watches her so i can take a bath (it doesn't last long, i get so sad hearing her cry)
i'm glad your hunny isn't working nights anymore. it is hard, and it's only been a week! and of course after last night i feel like i'm gonna pass out any moment. well if i give lyn a bath she may want to pass out too.....it's worth a shot! [/QUOTE]I know exactly how you feel, and suggest if possible, have a family member take her out for a few hours, my brother and dad used to do that when I was on bed rest with Destiny, they knew how hard it was for me to cope with a disabled child, as well as another infant, while trying to keep from losing the pregnacy, as much as I complain about my family, if it was not for them, I would have gone nuts trying to take care of the kids, so if you can get some close friend or family to take your daughter out to the park, mall, ar some place she can run off her energy, when she is not sick, it will help alot, as for the sickness, is she still having the ear ache? if so, there is a little help on that, they gave my son some medicine that numbed the ear, to stop the pain, also, try a heating pad, on low settings, on her ear, it does help, I used to use them all the time when Caleb got an infection, it also helps with a cold, just have her lie on her back, and put the pad on her chest, and rub her chest
