State of the Union

Luke is now the doula/birthing coach. He is the most in tact. His diarrea from last week is almost gone and his poor little bum is mostly healed (sorry if that is too much info). Allie has had a fever for the last couple of days, with red eyes and swollen glands. She was complaining that her neck was sore so because of that I took her to the Dr. as a precaution for meningitis. I am really not the "freak-out" type but I couldn't get a clear understanding of why her neck hurt. It wasn't a sore throat (it was the glands) so we thought we just better check with the Dr. It could be however Kawaski's Disease so we are going to wait and watch for a couple of days to see what happens with her fever. Jason... poor Jason. I have NEVER seen him like this. He didn't sleep much last night because he can't seem to be able to lay down for long. Not that walking or sitting helps much either. It's his lower back and he is walking like an old man. We tried the chiropracter (or as Jason calls them the "quacko-practer") on Friday. That wasn't the cure-all. Actually, he's only gotten worse (it turns out the lions have returned to the Namibian Desert- you would know if you were up at 4am watching Nature on PBS). And I, well I am 9 months pregnant and would rather just take a seat if you don't mind. Now more than ever I hope this baby comes late. I need my DOULA. I don't know how good Luke is with counter pressure.
