Sick house...


Ok--so being sick with a sick baby and a sick husband officially STINKS! Shea had this yucky cough/cold thing about two weeks ago--and I thought we had bypassed it...but low and behold, Tuesday night Austin and I began showing symptoms.
So for the past 4 days we have had the full blown cold--sore throat, runny nose, cough, fever, headaches, etc...

I am trying every home remedy I can possibly think of (imagine popping chopped up pieces of garlic like pills!)and praying for a quick recovery. Not only is it just hard being this sick when everyone else is--but I have a doula client who was due over a week ago and should be ready to deliver any day now...and if its any time in the next few days...I cant do her birth!

I know Gods timing is perfect, but I am sure having a hard time not stressing over this one.

Praise God Shea has been home for the past 4 days and felt well enough to step in and handle Austin when I just needed to go back to bed. Mornings have been awful for me and tonight I have a migraine...uggh! I could not have gotten through these past few days without my wonderfully helping husband!

I am kicking myself for not getting pictures of Austin in those first two days when his nose was so snotty it was all over his face! I was not feeling well enough to think "ah, a kodak moment!"

I do have some cute pics of him playing over the past few days though. Due to our sickness and how cold its been outside--we have spent many hours playing on the floor in his room!

I sure hope you feel better soon! I can't imagine being sick and having to take care of Austin. How do Moms with 5 kids do it?
