I was the last to get the crud. Slowly yesterday I morphed into one big ball of snot. I got more congested as the day drug on. My eyes started watering non-stop. I started breathing through my mouth. My appetite disappeared and my mouth grew dry. My head feels like it's being squished together by to vices. My ears are pounding, thunk, thunk, thunk. Man, this crap sucks.
I thought Mr. Big was being a Big Baby this week. He kept walking around just sighing and looking all depressed and down and out. Well, now I know why. I kept thinking to myself "I have three babies to care for". Ha ha! I'm so bad!
The boys are doing ok. Jacob is still congested and coughing. He's had four doses (five with this morning) of antibiotics and ear drops. He's still not himself. He ate a good dinner last night which was celebrated by Daddy and I. Jacob enjoys a good party.
Joshua seems to be coughing more. I think the nebulizer is really loosening things up in his chest. He seems to be breathing easier with little to no wheezing. He's just coughing up a lung now. He's not nursing as well as he had been. He's going longer between feedings and then when he does nurse its for 5-10 mins. tops. So, I'm a little concerned about my little oinker boy not getting enough nourishment. I've had to pump a few times to keep the boobs happy. Atleast I am getting some milk for the freezer, but still.
I'm ready to be well. I'm ready to have my kids back. Life sucks when you are all sick. I'll look back on this post in a week (hopefully) and think man, Aimee-you sounded like a geriatric ninety year old women in a nursing home. I'll shut up now.

HAving been there, you are entitled to say it sucks and not be considered being ridiculous. It does suck when everyone is sick, especially yourself. We all know that mommy runs th eshow, so we you're not feeling well, everything is worse! Plus, the baby not nursing is not making you feel any better. I always worry when my kids won't eat. Such is life as a mom, I guess. Remember, as my mom used to say to me, 'this too shall pass.'
