The 12 Days of Sickness

*Set to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas*

On the first day of sickness, the beginning of it all, my daughter wouldn't stop throwing up...

Ok, never mind. A poet I am not. Anyway, Little Miss started the whole thing. 5 days of a nasty GI bug, one trip to the urgent care, and some Zofran later my gorgeous little gal shared it with me. The good news was I got it on a weekend when Hubby was here and could take care of the kids while I slept it away. That was followed by both of her brothers getting it. B was sick the longest - 6 days - for a total of 12 days of loveliness. I say loveliness but it was anything but lovely. I am really hoping this is the end of sickness in our house for many months to come! This Winter has been really rough on us. The kids have never been so sick. Maybe it is because there are three of them? If so, I dread next year when there are four...

In other news, today is my baby appointment!! I get to hear baby again, which is always exciting. Due to all the illness around here I haven't had one in almost 5 weeks. This will be my 34/35 week appointment and first appointment since my 30 week one. This pregnancy is flying by! Just a few weeks left before Squishy Bug makes his appearance. I am trying not to think about my To Do list since it got put on the back burner for the last couple of weeks. Somewhere on that list is taking another picture. Maybe, just maybe, I will get one done before labor. For some reason, this is not a priority....

32 Weeks and a Birthday

Well, Squishy Bug is having a blast, flipping around and stretching. I am not. The last couple of days I have been feeling REALLY pregnant! Insomnia has also kicked in...just as Little Miss started sleeping through the night consistently. How is that fair, exactly??? It's not. Believe me, it's not.  However, I am glad that baby #4 is doing well and is a healthy little boy.

On to other news...W is now 5! I cannot believe how fast time flies. My mom always told me time would speed up faster and faster the older I got and she was right! I remember the day he was born...it was snowing and that trip to the hospital was one of the most uncomfortable car rides I have ever had.

Here is my birthday boy, holding his new beanbag. He was so excited to get a beanbag! He had been drooling over them at the store for awhile now so he was thrilled to finally own one. His siblings are also excited and they have all been taking turns rolling it over each other. Yeah, I have weird children.
