The Sickies

I thought January was the month of the sickies - and it was. But goodness, February beat January hands down! Everyone had on and off colds/coughs and poor Laura got an ear infection and was teething on top of that. For about three straight weeks I was cleaning up snot off of one kid or the other and pumping them both full of medicine. To top it all off we discovered that Laura has quite the gag reflex. All she has to do is start coughing on the gunk running down her throat and the next thing you know, you and your couch and the floor are covered in vomit. It's pretty gross. We all seem to be healthy for the moment *knock on wood* though Laura has a slight runny nose from teething. (These teeth are the teeth from h - e - double hockey sticks. I'm not kidding. They have been bugging her on and off for two months and there are still three that need to come in. And she's a horrible teether. Horrible.)

Poor sick baby. During one particularly horrendous teething/congestion/sickness bout, Laura went on a liquids strike. We couldn't get her to drink a n y t h i n g. We finally were able to get her to drink out of a bottle and she still drinks out of it. My sippy cup kid turned into a bottle baby. Oh yay.

Visiting the Dr! This visit was actually for Laura, but Cayden had a bit of a cough so we kept him covered.

The day before the end of the world. Ok, not the end of the world. More like the end of sanity for both our family and Sienna's. At least the kids had fun before everything went downhill.

We had some good days here and there. On one such day we went and played in the toy department at Target. This is what happens when you leave Daddy with the kids...

 

I'm hoping for a much less hectic and sickies filled March. And I'm so ready for spring and warm weather. I'm tired of the cold, being stuck indoors, and sick kids!
