Sick

All week I have been sick as a dog. Spring has arrived in Memphis and what does that mean SINUS ATTACK! I've lived in many places and still can't get used to the 1st weeks of spring here. My body can't handle it. I'm not alone either because all this week my coworkers have been dropping like flies too. UGH! Not what I needed this week since I was in the support room and on-call all week. Meaning I couldn't take off to recover....until FRIDAY! Nooooo.

So I suffered all week even the day I worked till 7pm and then on Friday I slept half the day. Exactly what I needed because I woke up this morning not feeling like death for once. However......it's spread to the rest of the family. Nooooo! Both Wes and Aiden are out! Looks like me and Wes switched caretaker roles. Coughing, runny noses, luckily no fevers. I even kept Aiden out of daycare Friday because he was pouring snot out of his nose. :-( Poor little guy!

So since he can't take any medicine...up went one side of the mattress, humidifier stocked with water, Vick's vapor spray stocked, saline drops stocked, Vick's baby rub stocked, and clean sheets/blankets galore (changing every day). This is the time when I get gitty thinking about the new dryer coming TUESDAY! :-)

Thankfully even though Aiden doesn't feel good he is acting normal. Playing, laughing, eating/drinking right. Just has snot balls and coughing. With raising the bed we found a long lost friend. His lion paci hidden btw the mattress and bumper pad. Milestone. Aiden doesn't want his paci 24/7 Thank you daycare! However, since he's sick he has been reaching for it. Now since we have both he was hilarious yesterday.

Hmmm monkey paci. wait lion. Now monkey. Back and forth. He liked having options and walking around with both in hands. lol Silly boy!

I even sneaked some videos to show you him walking! He is doing so good now! And even learning to swat to pick up things instead of falling to his butt. Growing up so fast!! excuse the bad quality I was testing out the video option on our new camera.

So this weekend I had planned on Wes taking Aiden's 1 year old pictures...I guess not with the sickness and the RAIN! OMG! Past 2 days it has been pouring here and causing rivers to form in the backyard. So I guess we will postpone.

I love you flowers, but you are the devil! lol

Daycare update. On Wednesday Aiden brought home his first craft project. I know awwwww right?! It was Wacky Sock Wednesday, so they decorated socks. He picked out all the decorations and the teachers applied them. First of many projects. LOVE!

On another note, Aiden is 13 months today! AH! I'll do that post later.

Also, everyone please keep some of my friends in your thoughts and prayers. They lost their little boy last week after a long 2 month struggle. My heart just broke into a million little pieces when I found out. I kinda stood there stunned didn't know what to say or do...but my heart and support goes out to them through this difficult time. Times like these open eyes to enjoy every little moment good and bad because you don't know when those times together are going to end. I loved the balloon release. Very special moment!
