My parents live around the corner - my mom used to come to Fresno on the weekends and back to the bay area during the week. And now that she's retired she teaches math at the local community college here 2 nights a week so she's here during the week and gone on the weekends. (she's staying in the bay area an extra 2 days to help w/ the clinic visit this week).

Logan does really well with Josh but not as well with anyone else for any extended period of time. He starts to freak and cry about mommy after a few hours. 6-8 months ago it wasn't like that but he's at the tail end of a horrible separation anxiety phase. There was a point where I couldn't go anywhere at all w/o him, or even drive the car while someone else sat in the back. He's a VERY intense child - I don't think I could adequately describe what it is like and do it justice - its quite extreme. My MIL used to talk all the time about how my BIL was her difficult child but she even told me a few weeks ago that she though she had it bad w/ BIL but he was nothing like Logan (thanks MIL..)

I left him for 3 hours last saturday (w/ daddy) and he did great - didn't even miss me. But 2 weeks ago he stayed with my mom while I went to an appointment and my mom said he did get upset. I know he would get used to it but I don't feel it is worth putting him through considering his personality. I'm hoping by the time he is 3.5 (August) and older I WILL be able to leave him at home but we'll see. I'm not counting on it. I remember my mom leaving on business trips when I was little and I would cry the whole time she was gone (a few days usually). Logan has even started crying during the day for daddy - even though Josh has had the same work schedule for a really long time.

When it comes down to it, I know he would survive without me. But I just can't put him through that right now - I vividly remember how I felt when my mom left. It will get better some day.

Thanks for asking. My appointment went well. PFTs were the same as always (FEV1 68%), even a few points higher than last time. My main problem remains to be the bad asthma. I go back in 2 months. I asked what the schedule would be for the rest of the pregnancy and she (head doc) said every 2 months then every month at the end (UGH!!). I don't know if I'll make it every month but maybe every 6 weeks or something. She has little understanding for the fact that I don't live locally.

The train ride was fine - we made it in 4 hours. Logan slept half the time since I think he has some sort of virus - slightly runny nose (not constant and not a lot) and a fine rash around his mouth and on his arms and legs. Him being sick means he's a bit more difficult than usual to deal with but overall he did great on our trip. The ride back was fine as well. He slept for about an hour and we did stop midway to eat at a restaurant which broke up the trip for him. I'm still trying not to get sick but at least I'm not busy for till next weekend so if it has to happen, now is better than later.
