Stress, stress, and more stress!!!!

First and foremost, I had my ultrasound last Thursday.....IT'S A BOY!!!!! Ben was soooo ecstatic. I'm glad he is getting his boy (by blood, that is). He very much considers Jack his boy too, but now he has someone to carry on the Huey name. So, yay! :)

So, I'm finding this pregnancy to be particularly stressful due to the "goings on" in my life lately. I have to say the relationship with me and the Tuckers is in a fairly good place....not perfect, but peaceful....HOWEVER....I can't say the same for their extended family. One douche bag in particular has, for lack of a better word, harrassed me twice now. I'm really starting to think he has a screw loose.....for real! The first email from him was littered with profanity, personal insults, and then went on about how selfish I am and haven't considered their feelings, etc. The second "attack" was made public over the weekend on Patty's FB page. It literally said, F%@$K Sarah. I can't believe what she posted. I hate her. And yes, he spelled my name wrong. The only thing I posted on Saturday was my memorium to Brian and from what I understand, it didn't offend the Tuckers at all. He goes on to comment on his own post, again, calling me selfish and not considering their feelings, etc. Also mentions me saying what a "great day" Saturday was, when it was the anniversary of Brian's death. I said no such thing. So, suffice it to say, I was incredibly upset. (I saw this at 3am because I couldn't sleep and decided to play on FB. I never went back to sleep after that.) I ended up crying for an hour.....Ben was livid and ready to go kick his hiney. So, long story short, I say something to Patty b/c now he's involved her and she has supposedly told him to leave me alone. They all say they can't control what others do and say, which is true, but to some degree, he has to be reacting to something they've said previously. I'm hoping to not hear anymore from them.

The next stressor......Ben. I was in the ER with him all morning yesterday. He started throwing up around 1am yesterday. After assuring me he would be ok, I went to work. By 8:20 I had a text from him saying he was throwing up blood and running a 102 fever and couldn't even keep down water. I went home and talked him into the ER. He was chalking it up to his bleeding ulcer, but there's no telling, so off to Southview we went! They pumped him full of fluids b/c he was dehydrated so bad. He was having severe abdominal pains, so they did a stomach x-ray, blood work, and gave him pain meds. Nothing showed up on the x-rays, but they had at least gotten his vomiting and the pain under control. He already had a doc's appt. with the family doc this morning, so they wanted him to follow up. He was better last night, but just worn out. This morning, he went to the family doc, who is sending him to a GI specialist, thinking this could be an intestinal issue, so we'll see! Hopefully we get some answers!!!!!

OH, and did I mention I have 5 kids at home?????? So, there's my stress lately! We're all worried about this taking a toll on the baby, but so far I've managed pretty well. I'm definitely more tired and feeling more aches and pains than I have before, but again....managing.

So, that's what's new with me! I hate this snow and I'm ready for spring!!!
