Germ Free??

I am hoping February is a much healthier month for us. I feel like someone has been sick in our house since the middle of December. I can't wait for the cold season to be gone. I guess, in a way, I am looking forward to Spring and Summer! It definitely feels like Spring with these 70 degree temps. I love living in Arizona. Anyways, my kiddos were sick for weeks and Drew got his 2 yr. molars on top of a nasty cold. Ya, whiny kid is not fun when it involves Drew. Then last week I got sick with this nasty head cold. It started out as a sore throat and every day something new was added. I had ear aches, bad headaches, nasty looking eyes, and a cough. This morning was the first time in over a week that I woke up to my throat only slightly hurting, no cough, and no crusties on the eyes. My eyes feel so much better today. I hope I am finally on the road to recovery. It is not fun when Mom is sick. Ryan was such a great husband, he went into work late a few days last week so I could get 2 more hours of sleep. Kylee has been keeping me up at night while I was sick. She has been having stomach aches and I finally figured it out. She doesn't like it when I eat chocolate, anything with acid in it such as citrus, and Mexican Food (the spiciness I am assuming). So I was chocolate free for a whole week until last night when I accidentally ate half a cookie. I was hoping it wouldn't bother her too much because it was only half a chocolate chip cookie but her last 2 feedings she hasn't liked my milk and had a horrible morning nap. Both kids are down for their afternoon nap so hopefully I can squeeze a nice little nap in as well. So now I am being more careful as to what I eat and that seems to help. I have a doctor's appointment in a few days for her so I have lots of questions to ask. She is getting better on sleeping in the night. I usually have to go in at 4 AM to put her binky in her mouth and then feed her between 5 and 6, but I can't wait till she will sleep until 7 or 8. I hope it is soon! I really need to get more sleep at night.

Can I say Linus...recently Drew has to take his blanket everywhere. It drives me crazy!

Drew of course started the terrible 2's this past week. I am hoping his attitude will get better once all his teeth are in. He still has one more that needs to break through. Keep your fingers crossed that our house becomes germ free soon so we can have happy kids and happy Mom!!!
