Haven't posted in over a week because of good and bad things.
Good: birthday party Sept. 2. Girlfriends gabbing for five and a half hours. It was therapy.
Neutral: Scott gone for weekend. Not "bad" because i wasn't an unforeseen problem. I missed him.
Bad: Five-month-old son had seizures and was in the hospital for three days, two of which my husband was still out of town for.
Thus I have not studied for a week. I could have blogged. Next time I can't study, I will remind myself it's okay to still blog.
My son is okay now. The emergency part is over, but he still has a problem, and I am not sure what it is. It has something to do w/his nervous system. He just gets overloaded. Swaddling him helps. I think he was sleep-deprived and suffering from GERD again. I can treat those things.
My church has been amazing in pouring out support. Parenting two itty bitties is always hard, but has been especially so this past week.
I actually am still thinking about academic stuff in the midst of this. Stowe had several children die before they reached adulthood. I think she had a baby die. It was so common then. I wonder how different their my parenting style would be raising so many children, and knowing that I would probably not get to see them all to adulthood. Would I open my heart as much? Would I spoil them more, because I knew the time was precious, or less, because I knew they needed to be hardy?
