The flu is NO fun...

...and we know because both boys have had it this week, and are still recovering from. My poor babies. Will had his flu shot, but he still got it. Scott started running fever last Sunday, and he was so fussy. Patrick stayed home Monday and took him to the doctor, where his flu test came back positive and then they sent him for a chest x-ray because they were afraid of pneumonia. Luckily, the x-ray came back clear. I picked Will up that afternoon and by the time I got him home he had fever. He went to the doctor Tuesday, and his flu test came back negative, but they did not feel that was accurate and put him on Tamiflu. His fever spiked up to almost 103 on Wednesday, and Scott's fever came back yesterday. It has been a long week. They do seem to be on the mend though. We have decided that Scott is going to stay with my Mom until the end of the school year, then will be home with Patrick and I all summer. So, he will be almost a year old when he goes back, and hopefully able to fight all of this off! We know he will get sick, but seeing him so sick right now is so hard.

Tomorrow is opening day for Montgomery Little League so we are hoping Will is ready to go! Keep the boys in your prayers!

Sick again...

Poor Baby Scott. Grace called me Wednesday around noon to tell me he was running fever, so I went and picked him up early. He didn't seem to bad so we made an appointment for the next day. I met Mom at the doctor, and they tested him for flu!!! Thank goodness, the nurse practitioner decided it was the beginning of an ear infection, and just a cold, not the flu. He cannot breathe...which means he can't sleep. We are back to waking every hour!! Thursday night as pretty miserable for me, last night Patrick got up with him. Hopefully once he gets over this, he will start sleeping better again. We all miss our sleep. If not, I have downloaded Ferber's book, and we will be doing some sleep training come Spring Break!
Pray for baby boy to feel better soon!!

Where have we been??

BUSY! Life with 2 children, and 2 full time working parents is busy. Busy, busy, busy. And tiring. I was so glad to have an extra day off this past weekend due to "snow" ... or ice. It was just nice to have an extra day!! I was actually able to really clean my house. I am not sure if I have cleaned it as well as I did since before Scott was born, and he is almost 6 months old. Patrick and I are both training right now (he for an IronMan and me for a half-marathon) so our weekends are spent training separately while the other one watches the kids, grocery shops, cleans, watches the kids, etc... Patrick and I had a date to WalMart a few weeks ago to grcoery shop. How sad is that?? But, anything childless counts as a date these days! Will starts t-ball in a few weeks, so throwing that into the mix as well is going to make life even busier! I know, I know, people everywhere work and have multiple children in mulitple activities, but this Mama and Daddy are just getting used to it! So, excuse my lack of blogging!!

Another reason for my lack of blogging is the fact my USB cable to download pictures from the camera has been broken (since Christmas, oops!) so here are a few from my phone....

Always our happy boy

Loving being the center of attention on his real birthday...Pa, YaYa, Nonnie, Poppy, Mommy and Daddy were singing to the birthday boy!
