I felt her pain

On Sunday night my stomach started feeling icky, I just knew it was coming.  Around 7 Monday morning, the mop bucket was my bestie.  What a way to start out the week!  Much to my surprise, Nick was laying on the couch and not at work.  I was confused.  He was sick too!  I'll just say yesterday was not fun at all!  I had a fever at 101.2, and it didn't go down until around 8pm.  Thanks to Nicks recommendation to take some Tylenol cold medicine.  I guess it worked for the fever!  I couldn't drink or eat without it coming back up.  I could totally feel Sterling's pain as she was throwing up Friday.  It's painful.  I can't imagine her small body trying to fight it, but it hurt me, so I imagine it hurt her 10 times worse!  We all went to bed at 7 last night so we could get the rest we needed and everyone seems to be doing well today.  I have a massive headache/pain, but I'm sure it's from being dehydrated.  So today, I'm tasked with fueling my body and getting some sugars in it.  Yesterday I tried to take a shower but almost fainted so I had to get out...only my hair was shampooed..oh well.

This week is going to be busy...as long as we all stay well!  We have to get ready for the kids' Opa to arrive next week!  I have to clear out the toy room, put up the airbed and make room in his closets.  Then I have to make things simpler for him as Nick and I are going to Paris without them and Nick wants things to be simple and laid out for him.  I guess I understand.  
I'll get to spend some much needed quality time with my sewing/embroidery machine.  I can't wait!  Opa will be here for 2 weeks, and I plan to use every day working on a project and getting better.  I've done a few things, but still need some work.  I have to figure out how to enlarge images and how to add a name to an image.  I purchased the program SewWhatPro, so I'm trying to figure that out also.  I hope I will have all my "kinks" worked out before the end of the month!

Side note...Xander has been melting my heart lately.  When I give him something he says "thank you mama" and the look he gives puts me in heaven.  Then when he's playing with something he's not supposed to, he'll run it to me and say "there you go mom"...I love it!  Yesterday as I was sick, he was my cuddle bug.  I don't think he's sat on my lap as much as he did yesterday, ever.  I loved it and soaked up every minute!  Sweet, sweet boy!

Sterling, well she's fast!  Still not "crawling" but what she does works.  She gets around and gets there so darn fast.  One day I had her out by the table, Xander and I were in the back room talking with Nick and next thing I know, she's tugging at my robe!  I'm ready for her to do the real crawl though...so she can exercise those turkey legs of hers...haha!  For about 2 weeks before she got sick, she had been sleeping through the night!  I was loving it.  But since she was sick, she's been up twice again...ugh!  We'll get her back on track, just in time.  I think she's still catching up on eating from almost 2 days of barely anything.  

Have a great day!
