Hot hot hot!

Yesterday evening my in-laws babysat our son overnight while my hubby took me on a date night to cheer me up. We had seafood & warm hawaiian rolls for dinner, played games at Dave & Busters followed by the movie 'Man of the Year'. The games that helped me vent my frustration with the whole baby issue were virtual boxing (where I got to fighter number five but my arms got too tired), shooting little red targets with a rifle, & a shooting video game with my hubby. I also played a coin game where I got a lot of tickets which we used to get our son some surprise toys. By the time we got to the movie theater I actually started to feel more like myself instead of numb inside. When we headed back home after the movie (which was funny & serious but overall enjoyable), I felt 90% better. Still do actuallly which says a lot. After a wonderful bath last night, it was off to bed.

Somehow I slept very badly last night & have had difficulty moving with my back tense, stiff & aching from my shoulder blades to mid-back. Icy-Hot helped some but it's still in bad shape.

Two of my relatives came to visit today. We had a nice time catching up while my uncle looked at our car having trouble. He's going to see if anything needs fixing the next couple of days.

When my aunt & uncle were leaving, my hubby's parents arrived with our son. During lunch together, we realized our son had developed a sudden fever. All day he's been feverish, sick & miserable. Poor guy. It breaks my heart when nothing we do seems to help him. At bedtime, his fever was still 103.1 degrees which worries me. The on-call doctor (not our normal doctor) told us not to worry until it reaches 105 degrees & then take him to the hospital. I'm having a hard time trusting her but I have no choice. Tomorrow I'll get him checked out if his fever is still high.

Later this week we have our follow-up consult with our IVF doctor to see how to proceed with our next & final IVF process. I hope this works. If not, we may start considering adoption depending on costs. So many questions are running through my mind right now but I'm trying to keep a positive outlook on the future. However it turns out, we've been blessed with a wonderful son. We hope we can give him a brother or sister (maybe both) to grow up with.
