We will survive

So as most of you know, I got really sick this week.  I had a little bit of a cold for the past week but it was nothing major.  Then all of a sudden on Wed. night I felt my head fill up and my throat getting more and more sore.  I ended up with a fever topping out at 102.9 at one point during the night. I took Afrin and Advil hoping for some relief. None came. I was up almost all night.  Went to the Urgent Care on Thursday and was told that I had a bad sinus infection and most likely Strep. They gave me some good antibiotics and some liquid steroids.  I broke my fever that afternoon and felt better by Friday. Today is Sat. and I am almost human again.  I have officially survived my first illness here in CO.  When I do it, I do it right!  LOL

Anywho, with the illness, not much has gotten done. We are anxious for Bill's parents to arrive this Friday, but the house is no where near where I wanted it to be before their arrival.  I need to focus on cleaning bathrooms and such this week and never mind the boxes for a while longer.  You would think that since I stay at home and Lexi goes to school that I would have plenty of time on my hands to get it all done, but NOPE.  My day FLIES by with the baby.  He isn't such a good napper these days and will only play by himself for short periods of time (not like Lexi who would lay on her blanket for hours at this age and bat at the hanging activities above her).  I am lucky to get a 30 min stretch where I don't have to entertain Nathan. I guess that is a big difference with boys.

I am also very antsy to hear from my mom or brother that my niece is about to make her arrival.  She was due 2 weeks ago and if she doesn't come tomorrow, she is to go to the hospital on Monday morning.  So either way, no more than a few days left!  YAY.  I went to Target tonight and got the cutest t-shirt that says "I love my aunt".  I couldn't resist!!!  I am putting it the mail Monday so she will have it when she comes home from the hospital.  I can't wait to make a trip back to meet her!

That's about it for us.  All is well.  Lexi loves her school and one of her teachers has taken to her well, Miss Danielle. She has a few new friends, Kendall and Eric. She says Eric loves her.  Bill told her that everybody loves Lexi.  LOL  Nathan loves the quiet during the day. He actually gets a little fussy when Bill and Lexi get home.  I guess hearing his sisters chatter and having her in his face all the time is wearing on him.  I have to laugh when he gives me that look. I just tell him, "she is your sissy, sorry."  

Bill is good. He stayed home on Thursday to help me out since I was so bad off.  He had already taken a vacation day on Friday so that worked out in my benefit.  He will go back to the office on Monday. Tomorrow he is going to check out our local community center to see if he wants to work out there or still get his Eliptical for the basement.  I am told their facility is great and they even have raquetball which he loves.  If he meets some people, then he will be set.

I hope this finds you all well.  That is our week. I will be in touch soon.  Hugs to all. We miss you already!
