The Plight of a Mama

Well, it has been a really rough 3 weeks. Here I am, "nesting". Wanting to get EVERYTHING organized, painted, and generally in order.. and we have been in the "Battle of the viruses". It's been a royal pain! We started with Seamus on March 11th. 5 days of fever. I got it on the 13th. No fever.. but, couldn't sleep/breath/get anything done for 5 days! Then Francis on the 18th. 5 days of fever. This weekend, the 23rd, mine got worse. Sinus infection, perhaps?? (And, in case you don't know, drugs are VERY limited with pregnancy!) Tuesday a.m. Liam and Peter had fevers. Peter was getting the really yucky messy kind of sick.. all day!

Last night at 3am was about the end of it (I HOPE!) but, he wanted to get up and watch a video. So, I scrap booked for an hour in the middle of the night last night. I couldn't fall back asleep with the fear that he would be sick again. He fell asleep around 4 am. I attempted to sleep, with intermittent dreams about crazy things happening in labor. (I think I am going crazy!)

So, the boys are watching yet another video this morning. Peter seems to be over the tummy part. Thankfully! I am going to take a few minutes to myself. (You know.. put clean clothes on.. put this entry on my blog! LOL!)

The good news is that we should all be SO over this by this weekend. Then, we can get ready for Easter and baby. We can't wait!!

Thanks for sharing in my small agony. I know people go through much worse. But, it sure seems like a lot right now!

I hope to post some Feb and March pictures SOON!

Seamus earned his Wolf Badge!

Here is a video clip of Seamus. They painted "Wolf ears" on his forhead as part of the ceremony. We are proud of our scout! (And Francis can't WAIT to join next year!

Patrick was in 2 plays this weekend: Jungle Book and Cinderella. Here is my attempt at posting my first video!!! Patrick is GUS, the mouse! Enjoy :)

Some pics from January

Gingerbread house... on The Feast of the 3 Kings!

Good thing it isn't a real house, since I couldn't get the roof to stay on it! LOL!

We had a REALLY warm december.. and then January hit HARD.

It has been below freezing now for a couple of weeks!

(ALthough we could use a lot more snow for playing in!)

The living room with our new floors !! :)

February.. already?

This year is flying already.. I can't believe it is almost Valentine's day!

We finished all of the floors downstairs. They look SO nice! I LOVE them!

The boys are doing well in school, and we are in a good routine for now.

Patrick is going to be in his school play. We are really excited about that!!

Getting ready for baby.. 11 weeks until my due date. Likely only 9 until he/she arrives. I can't wait!

I will post some pictures later..
