Through the Eyes of a Mother

a little bit of this and a little bit of that

Bed Time Fail

Well last night did not go so well. The girls thought it was a fun game and so I eventually just moved her back into the crib, where she continued to cry for 25 minutes. I didn’t bother moving her to the play pen after all the kids were asleep as Little Miss was up screaming every 20 minutes or so, so that didn’t work out at all how I planned. I think I am going to attempt it again when both girls don’t have the sniffles. 

Well time to get dinner started and all that fun stuff.

Gotta Run

sickness

Well it seems like the stomach bug has hit our family… Well 3 out of the 6 have gotten it. It started with my husband and then yesterday it decided to take over our girls. Super fun cleaning up vomit from a 1 and 2 year old. So far there have been no other casualties.

I had my 14 week appointment yesterday. Went really quick and everything seems fine. She found the heartbeat but not without some difficulty first. She literally tried for like 5 minutes before she found it. I can’t say that I was worried or even upset, not really sure how I felt in that moment. Either way the baby was down really low and she eventually found it. So there is still a baby and #5 is on it’s way. Ya.

Well my dad is doing really well, he finally got out of the hospital yesterday and is at home resting comfortably 🙂 So thats good news.

Now I have to run as my daughter just took off all her clothes and suspect her diaper is the next to go.

Till next time.

Walking

Still doing my walks. Even though I’m sick… Hopefully the fresh air helps. This is technically day 3 and 4 as I missed yesterday due to some company staying late. I basically doubled my time that I normally walk, making it two walks:)

Little miss woke up from his nap and wouldn’t stop crying…. Which in turn made baby k even more upset…

Lord help me.

Rebelling

My body hates me right now, ever since last night nothing but liquid has come out of me and this morning I threw up:(

Mr. B also had a stomach ache but not like this and little miss also was pointing to her tummy and saying owwww.

So out of the 6 of us only 3 are not feeling well and I’m the only one who is really bad. Not sure what it is or how only the three of us got sick when the boys ate everything we did, well with the exception of the cookies that we’re made with eggs that had been left on the counter over night…… Bad I know but mr. B thought they would be good if they didn’t smell….

Other odd thing little miss never ate the cookies…. So not sure what it could be.

Either that or its just a crazy coincidence and I’m pregnant…. Or at least that’s what a couple peoples theories are.. I just tell them to shut the heck up! No thanks..

3 kids under 3 full time no thanks… 5 kids 6 and under heck no!

Well gotta run….

Hopefully I feel better soon.

Is it summer?

I think my body has forgotten..

So it is 28 degrees out right now and I’m sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket. I’m freezing!

But don’t you worry in about 10-20 minutes I will be sweating and feeling like my body is on fire:(

My wonderful husband let me have a little nap before he left for work, but sadly I don’t know how much that actually helped…. 😦 either way it was a nice break from the kids to rest.

Until later…. Hopefully..

Seriously….

I’m sick again! It hit me like a bus today, I really thought I was going to get my period with the back and leg pain since those are my symptoms I get before my period. Instead it spread to my neck and my head now feels like its going to explode.

Kill me now … I’ve been sick like this 3 times since may and I feel like I’m dying.

No pictures today, but I thought I would update…..

Wish me luck that I feel somewhat better tomorrow as I’m all alone with the girls:(

Night

Sickness and miracles

So today was a very hot day. Getting up to do anything caused you to sweat 😦 I hate days like this.

We all stayed in the house and tried to stay as cool as possible, which didn’t exactly work but thankfully where the girls sleep is nice and cool so that helps a bit for naps..

On the bad side the sickness that JAM had/has might have been passed down to little miss 😦 instead of eating what little I could not get her to shake her head at she passed out in her high chair.

After she woke up she was very cranky and whiny and then promptly threw up on the living room floor 😦 She also felt extremely warm so I rinsed her off and gave her a nice cool bath, I took her temp and she was fine after that. The cool bath really worked wonders because we are currently outside and this is what I was being attacked with…

Yes, that is a water gun. Which by the way she has figured how to pump. Lol. It is very cute watching her run after you and squirting you and pumping for more water 🙂

On a better note baby k can now sit up on her own!!!
Watch the pictures as the miracle unfolds 🙂

She literally has mastered it today. It’s crazy how fast she does things.
I bet anything that she will be crawling by the end of the month. She is so close. 🙂

Gotta run I have a visitor coming over 🙂

Hope you enjoyed watching a miracle 🙂

Yesterday

Is a day I would like to forget… 😦

First off baby k was so needy and didn’t want to be put down. She would straighten her legs so I couldn’t sit her down, I ended up having to lay her down and this is what happened…

20120712-102547.jpg

Then on top of that JAM is sick, his temp hasn’t gone below 101, so we may take him to the doctors. Poor guy needed a nap yesterday.

20120712-102717.jpg

After his nap he felt fine and had some dinner and then later in the evening he threw up. Then about 10 minutes after that his brother decided to try and force himself to burp only to fail and make himself throw up, except he didn’t make it all the way to the toilet:( so gross!

Everyone went to bed and JAM woke up about 10:30 with a temp of 102.7 so we had to give him a cold bath, which he HATED! After that he went back to sleep and thankfully stayed asleep.

Sadly my night didn’t end there, we had to suction baby k’s nose and oh my goodness does she hate that, and she is one strong 7 month old.

She thankfully went back to bed around 3:00 and slept till 6:00 am 🙂

TODAY however doesn’t seem to be better. JAMs temp is still above 101 and he was going pee this morning and had an accident well standing to pee, and not the kind you can easily soak up with paper towel. Gross times 1000.

I’m hoping I don’t have to clean up any more bodily fluids today…

Gotta go baby k just sat up on her own!!!!
