Baaah so over winter illnesses! K's cold isn't TOO bad. Just really congested, runny nose, coughing. And of course our humidifier decided to die so I gotta get a new one asap.

Surprisingly her sleep is still pretty good. She's just up early though and can't fall back asleep and gets legit angry!

I know many, many of you are dealing with one thing or another too... Hugs all around today

@BandDmommy: It's really "warm" here since the weekend. 50's! So weird.

@BandDmommy: soo thankful for that. otherwise it will be here till summer

So sorry for all the sickness ladies! I've been absent as both kids have had fevers and general misery

Between that and my night shifts I feel like a zombie... bleh.

@snowjewelz: I don't really work many nights - I shouldn't complain! Just bad timing this week with the sick kids!

soooo ready for spring! our weekend was in the 70's! we took M to the park and he had a lot of fun now that he's big enough to play with more things!

My husbands been taken down by the virus. Ryan seems better but still nasty diapers. I hope Ty doesn't catch it.

Talked to D's teacher yesterday and she was amazed at her social skills. There's a new baby in her class, 10 months old, and D went over sat next to her, patted her head and said "baby" and gave her hug. I think she's ready to be a big sister after all.

@winniebee: oh no. hoping you don't catch it!
@BandDmommy: awww! so sweet!

so m's new favorite game is hide and seek. i'll go somewhere and hide and say his name until he finds me. once he sees me he gets the biggest smile on his face and runs into my arms. so much fun!

@winniebee: Oh no! Glad that R seems a bit better but it's so tough when the parents start getting sick.

@BandDmommy: How sweet! She'll be a great big sister

@whenoceansrise: Oh that's too cute!

@FaithFertility: haha yeah. But cleaning up Ryan's puke and diahhrea was worse this time

@FaithFertility: Awww, she will be fine. She has daddy to watch her.

We are quite the exciting bunch here! So many sickies. My kids seem to be about baseline winter healthy at the moment (constantly runny noses but no fever or cough or anything worrisome/keeping them home), but I am on Day 11 of the crud. I feel just bad enough that it's annoying, but not so bad that I'm laid up on the couch.

On the plus side, I realized last night as we were leaving gymnastics at 5p that it was still very light out! It may still be winter, but we made it through the feels-like-it-gets-dark-at-3pm phase. Woo!

Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? We are going to look at houses on Saturday, and then the normal church/nap/swim lesson grind on Sunday

@josina: whoa totally forgot about the super bowl! Clearly we have no plans other than to watch at home. Ha!

Our plans, we are participating in a roving dinner on Saturday night and Sunday Brennan has a bday party.

@FaithFertility: Aw - poor G Try to go to your girls' night if you can! You can't take good care of G if you don't take care of yourself

@KayKay: Sorry for the sickness I feel like this is the winter of the perpetual cold for the whole family. It's the worst! You're right about the sunlight though - so exciting!

@josina: Oh no! Glad the bloody nose stopped quickly. J's had the bloody lips but no nose yet.

@winniebee: Sounds like a fun weekend! Hope you're all feeling better.

RSV over here! I was home with her yesterday since she had a fever. Spiked up to 102 last night. She slept from 7pm-7am... Took her to the dr today and confirmed RSV. Used the nebulizer at the dr's office but it didn't do much. I def have it too but really just a cold for me. I feel so so bad DH is home with her now and my mom will come over later.

We're supposed to be celebrating Chinese New Year this weekend, so we have to see if she gets visibly better.

@snowjewelz: RSV is worst typically on day 3 (if I recall), hopefully your doctor warned you that it typically gets worse before it gets better. Since the nebulizer didn't seem to help at the office, what are they suggesting for home care?

Fortunately when K had it last year she did respond to the nebulizer so we did it at home every 4 hours. It at least made me feel like I had some control and could do something to help her. I don't like the helpless feeling.

@MamaG: I think she's over her worse then; today is either day 3 or 4 depending on when you start counting. Make sense since last night was her highest of fevers. He said if she's had it since Sunday/Monday, she should start to get better by end of the week. He said to just do what we're doing - humidifier, we're giving her zarbee's natural honey stuff, and he told us to try to pat her back to help loosen the mucus.

The nebulizer actually made her wheeze more! He said it almost acts like caffeine and makes her breathe. Plus she refuse to wear the mask so we could only blast thing mist into her face lol.

Well, fuck. I had some lab work done because of the chemical pregnancies I've had and apparently I have low AMH, which is low egg quantity, but can apparently also be linked to low egg quality. I meet with my doctor in a few weeks. Maybe we won't be having a 3rd baby after all.
