Sickies, and ice, ice baby.....

Well, we have had quite and eventful last month or so. I have had early stages of pneumonia, thankfully I am much better now. William and both girls now have nasty upper respiratory infections, William got on antibiotics Thursday and the girls seem to be riding it out pretty well. But earlier this week they both woke around midnight(tues/Wed) puking, ugh what a thing to wake to. Emerald only had that one night/day and then was ok. Rebekkah on the other hand, had a nearly 48 hour stretch where she could keep nothing down, not even water, 7-UP, jello or popsicles. We had her into the doctor on Thursday(thankfully we all go to the office I work at so it was only one trip for William) and got phenergan suppositories. SHe is now better despite the nasty cough she has had for over a week now. I am thanking God that we didn't have to go for iv fluids. The boys have managed unscathed and have not gotten either "bug", praise God for that.

We were supposed to have Rebekkah's birthday party last night but rescheduled since she had been so sick. I did not think the YMCA would appreciate puke or diarrhea in the pool. They were not very nice about it but we rescheduled it for next Friday. Her actual birthday is tomorrow, March 29 and will be 8!!! How did that happen, my baby turning that old already??!! It goes so very fast.

They have been forcasting a nasty snow storm for here all week. Instead we have received lots of ice so far and the snow is expected to come in this afternoon. BLAH I am sooo over winter, although it has not been a terribly snowy one I am just ready for spring and warmer weather. Cold and winter never used to bother me but now that I am getting older I am just over it all. Tree limbs have begun to break and fall in our yard and as I type I hear ice hitting the window. They say 4-8 inches of snow on top of this. BAH Ok enough whining about the weather here in KC.

We spent the morning cleaning and disinfecting. Trying to get the bugs outta here. Still not perfect but much better. Now we are all showering and getting in comfy clothes to hunker down for the day. Watching movies, napping and just enjoying not having to get out in this weather.
