What a long week!

I know I am seriously slacking here. It has been a long week.

Monday was the ultra sound where we found out we are having a little boy, whose name is going to be....Asher James Sherratt. After the ultra sound I came to work and by 2:30 Bailey's school was calling me to tell me school was shut down for the rest of the day due to the snow storm we were having at the time. It knocked out our power in Enoch, so with no heat in the school they sent the kids home. I think we ended up with about 4-6" of snow, which isn't a lot of this part of Utah, but the fact that it dumped on us in about 1-2 hours makes it a lot, plus the winds were so crazy. I heard on the weather report later that day that Brianhead (the ski resort about 30 minutes from us) had wind gusts of 110mph at the peak!!!

Tuesday was a normal day, kids at school, I went to work. No new snow, just the clean up from the day before. It was pretty quiet around our house.

Wednesday I did not feel well at all so I stayed home from work. We had a follow up doctors appointment at 11 to go over the ultra sound results. My blood pressure was apparently very low compared to normal, probably because of the cold or flu I have, luckily I didn't have a fever or test positive for strep. The ultra sound tech was apparently concerned with the way Asher's kidneys are looking. From what the doctor told us they may not be functioning properly so they want to do another ultra sound in 4-6 weeks. Dr Allen told us not to worry, he isn't worried. He said the ultra sound shows plenty of ambiotic fluid around the baby which is baby urine, which means the kidneys are working. He said to just think of it as an excuse to get to see Asher again! Lucky us! Our next appointment to see the doctor is the 28th of February, I'm not sure when the ultra sound will be, Dr Allen said we would schedule it on that appointment. After the doctor's appointment and a quick lunch with James I went home and slept for about 2 1/2 hours, which made it impossible to sleep that night! I never sleep well the nights that I take a nap, even if I am sick.

Thursday was another busy day. Bailey and I had to get up an extra hour early to get him to his dentist appointment. They had to pull 5 teeth! Poor little man! After a very funny 20 minutes of the medicine taking affect on him, he was finally asleep and ready to get them pulled. I waited in the waiting room for about 20-25 minutes until they were done. The dentist said he did really well, told us he would probably have a tummy ache from the medicine and sent us home. After helping him to the couch to sleep off the rest of the medicine I turned my back for a minute, just long enough for Bailey to throw up all over the couch. Luckily he hadn't eaten anything that morning so it wasn't too messy. After throwing up a couple more times he slept for about 3 hours. He apparently didn't have a good reaction to the medicine they gave him to put him to sleep and threw up several more times throughout the day. I finally called the dentist around 2:30 and he called in a prescription to help keep him from throwing up but once he took it he of course threw it up! Needless to say he didn't eat anything all day. Around 9pm last night I finally got him to keep down some milk, thank goodness!

Today Bailey is home, he said he threw up early this morning, but he ate a bagel and drank some milk this morning and is feeling lots better now. I still have this awful cold, I'm thankful its the weekend soon. Josten is headed up to Salt Lake today to watch his girlfriend, Meaghan, swim. Jared has a new job that he started this week, he is a bagger at Smiths Grocery and James is hauling cars and finishing up the cabin he has been building. Like I said, it has been a very busy week! Let's hope next week is a little calmer!
