Nicholas has been sick off and on since Monday, his fever goes away and then shoots back up, dh and I think it's time to take him in to get him checked out just to be sure it's nothing major, he plays happily, acts like nothing is wrong he is just more cuddly and has a runny nose and a cough, anyway i made him an appt. for 9:30 tomorrow morning , i have two classes tomorrow from 9:30-10:45 and 11-12:15 and a test in both so i can't miss them, 9:30 is the ONLY time they can see him and the only appt. they have open thru friday, it just so happens that today dh got laid off, so he will be taking Nicholas tomorrow while i go to my class, i'm a sappy control freak mama and i've never been away from him while he is sick and i have NEVER EVER let him go to the dr. without me, dh has went with us but i've always been there until tomorrow so i'm all upset feeling like a horrible mommy but i know dh can handle it, i'm going to make notes though lol

I still have this problem even though DH can take the kids to the doctor without it disrupting his schedule and I can't. The notes works well BTW, I use them every time. I also remind DH of the info I want to know.
In truth, he still comes home with only half of it answered but I'm getting used to it and the kids are both healthy. It's hard, but at some point we gotta release a little of that mommy control. I hope you'll be able to concentrate enough on your tests though!

I'm really upset about it, i know i'm weird, i can't help it, dh has went with us when he's off and i have complete faith in him but i have ALWAYS took him to the dr. it just kills me to have to let go of being there for my baby just a little bit, I don't know how much i'm going to be able to focus on my tests lol plus i'll be checking my phone every chance i get cuz i'll be worried, thank goodness i just have those two classes and i should be able to get out of both early since it's just the tests

I had to do that once, it seems like I always get stuck going alone when there are shots to be given and that is just SO sad! Well I hope he does well (both of them)

I hear you! I feel like I always have to be there as well...its just the mommy thing to do!

I feel the same way. I would probably be making notes too. It's killing me that I'm going to be in the hospital having another baby while Ryan's home w/o me. I hope he feels better soon.

Oh Lord I'd be writing books to leave him at home for that long lol, but i'm a firm believer that no one can take care of my baby like i do lol, that said I know Ryan will be fine, and you will be also! AND I know me and Nicholas will be fine but that doesn't make me any happier about not being there tomorrow lol

Big Hugs Mommy......I'm sorry your baby is Sick......Good Luck on your tests I know it will be super hard to concentrate on them but Good Luck anyway..........I hope your baby starts to feel better soon.

Dh took him for his 9:30 appt. at 12:15 i got out of school and rushed over there cuz he STILL hadn't been seen, so i was there when the dr. came in so i only half missed it lol, anyways he has an ear infection, it's only the 2nd one he's ever had so i can't complain at all, the dr. couldn't believe how active and unsick he acted, i felt awful for not bringing him sooner and the dr. was like no u did absolutely the right thing, so he gave us amoxycillin, i'm praying it doesn't make him as sick this time as the last time, and then gave him some other meds for congestion since he's been coughing a lot. He can go back to daycare as soon as the fever is handled, he'll be staying home with dh tomorrow while i go to school and i figure monday he'll start back

Well I'm glad you only "Half Missed" his Appointment. Whatever the heck that means..... I hope he feels better soon.

Aw I am glad thats all it was! Hope he gets feeling better soon.
