A review of the past week

Sunday morning, Will pukes. Fever all day, lots of sleeping.
Monday, Will still has fever. More holding and sleeping.
Tuesday, Abbie has a bad cough. Gagging on phlegm. Keep her home from school. Notable improvement in Will. Tuesday night, Will has diarrhea.
Wednesday, Abbie coughs. I start to cough.
Thursday, Will is coughing.
Friday, Everyone is coughing. No school again for Abbie. Little noses are now green. YUM!
Friday night, Andy comes home with the cold.
Saturday, I'm miserable.
Sunday, I'm miserable.
Sunday night, Will DOES NOT sleep. AT ALL. Tons of crying, all night holding, late night drives, late night cartoons, many co-sleeping attempts, little results.
Monday morning, off to the doctor. Double ear infection for Will. Antibiotic ordered. "Just" a cold for Abbie, should be running it's course with in 7-10 days. Almost there. Phone call to my OB, Robitussin for me. Antibiotic for Andy.
My lovely sister-in-law, Katy, threw herself to the fire. She went to the doctor with me, and watched Abbie all day while Will and I made up for lost sleep.
Jeez, I hope this it for now!

On the OB front, went to Dr G. yesterday. Dilated to a definite 2, and "could be a 3 if he wanted to push it." Yeah, let's push it. More thinning. That's it. Back in a week.

Going to have Abbie's birthday festivities this weekend. We had thought about Chuck E Cheese, but I can do without any more unnecessary germ exposure. Think we'll stick to cake here. She chose a Little Mermaid theme.

With my husband's guidance I have finally broken down and hired someone to come clean. Just once before "Diego" comes. She comes next Friday. It's killing me to do it, but I am lacking in motivation and the ability to bend and move swiftly around the house. Actually, I am now looking forward to passing off the duties. Hopefully this doesn't turn into an addiction!
