Cam my Man

I didn't even write anything on my last post because i have been no good for the past week. I didn't even feel good enough to sit and type at a computer. I still haven't quite figured it out either. I have been fighting something now for three weeks off and on. It was everyday this past week that I just couldn't get out of bed. I threw up a couple of times but I just didn't have the energy to do anything! Nothing sounded good to eat and my head got really heavy when I would be anything but horizontal. I had a doctors visit on friday and he just did the doctors cop out thing and gave me an antibiotic. I know it's all they can do without more tests but I hate taking an antibiotic if I don't know what I am taking it for and I wish I could say it was helping. Poor Cam has done everything this week-cleaning, laundary, made my meal for the week, worked, and even ran a 20 mile race on sat. He is training for the marathon. Leanne ran sick and still made it in 3 hrs and 6 min. she started a little behind Cam-they probably would have come in at the same time. It took everything I had to just take the kids to cheer him on and we didn't even see him run in because he was faster than we all expected. I knew he would do well but I thought it would take him at least 3 hrs and he made it under three hours so we barely missed him. I am jealous of his strength but at the same time grateful. Being sick is the most frustrating thing ever! I hate not being able to take care of my kids and the house. I felt like I was pregnant but that is not the case. this past week the bishopric gave the ward a challenge of not going to the store for two weeks and we have been just fine with not going but I did have cam get me some sprite and my medicine. Fri. night after the doctors, I actually had about 2 hrs that I felt good and was able to go see Brielle, Natalie and Lydia dance at the snow canyon half time. Brielle was sooo excited! she said she wants to cheer instead of dance. It will be fun to see what she ends up doing. Lydia was all smiles-she loved the attention. Cam took Brielle and Trey up North for addison's baby blessing. It killed me to not be able to go, but I have to get better. i can't do this any more. Infact i told Cam that we just have to start doing less so that we can be more effective-we are getting old I guess or we just have 4 kids. I am sure part of what I have, had to do something with the subway hike. I was just as sore as I was after the marathon and not because it was that intense of a hike. it was long, a lot of down hill and way more than I had done in 6 weeks. it is soo sad how fast you can get out of shape. i did 10 miles 3 days before Kade was born. I was sooo sore for 4 days. The hike is amazing! there were several parts where you are afraid for your life. the freezing cold water was a shock! maybe my body is still overcoming the shock. I was so grateful we went with Cody who has done it dozens of times and Cam helped me in a lot of spots. I just wanted to make it home alive to my little babies. It didn't help that when we got there the ranger stressed the chance of a flash flood. he said there was a 60% chance that we would see one or be in one. Needless to say I was thrilled to make it out alive! would I do it again-of course but just not 6 weeks after having a baby and still nursing. Cam was pretty persitant that I went with him because we have never gone and we took one of the producers of the biggest loser and his wife. Amie and Eric were brave enough to watch all of our kids. i felt so much better leaving them with family -mainly Kade. Thank you guys! I haven't even updated on Kade. My last post I was very frustrated but I have had some weeks of really a new baby. The doctor game him prevacid which seems to be helping. He is growing way too fast! We will belss him not till October because all of Cam's family was going to make it to Addison's blessing in sept. and some of them will try and make it to Kades so we didn't do it on the same day. Kade will just be a little heavy to hold in the circle.
