Illness Madness!!!

As is it weren't haesh enough for our baby to have gotten hit horribly with that nasty flu bug and end up in the hospital...we all have been passing around illness since then! I got a HORRIBLE cold that led to a sinus infection and on it's way to pnemonia, with the congestion starting to settle. I got on an antiobiotic and slowly recovered while getting the flu on top of it for three more days! I was definately out of comission, this beat me up! I had no control! I ususally make myself still do things when I'm sick but it wasn't even possible this time! Luckily I had Brian being very helpful and taking over dinner, duties with Annie, etc. That is until he got the 24 hour flu! I know, I've got to be joking right? I wish I was. So he was dead for 24 hours. A huge thanks to my mom and mother in law who both were awesome in helping us and bringing us yummy dinners! And thank you mom for doing my grocery shopping! Our house was out of control and Anaston was going crazy! She had been doing way better and wanted to play play play but mommy and daddy were on their death beds! Poor thing. She didn't fully understand. Although she was a very good helper and I loved the ten times a day she'd come out of her room with her doctor kit and give me a check up and tell me I'm sick. ha ha Brian got over his, mine drug out. I finally feel better Sunday and Anaston wakes up Monday very congested, a fever and coughing. REALLY? REALLY!!! Things got worse the next two days and she was getting these coughing attacks where she couldn't stop once she started. She'd struggle to get in a breath, gag and eventually throw up because of it! Not fun and especially 4 times in a day! The doctor had told me Monday it was just a cold. I knew at this point it had turned into more. Yep, she has bronchitis! The congestion settled in her chest. Poor poor thing. She's so tired of being sick! But atleast we caught it before it turned into pnemonia!!! She's on the road to getting better and cross my fingers...sickness better not visit us for a year!!! Atleast! I think we've had a fair turn!

This is me bribing Anaston at the doctor to be good so she can go to Kinsley's party. So she gives me this fake, cheese smile. ha ha Unfortunately the news of how sick she was, I didn't get to keep my end of the deal!:( She had to miss 2 birthday parties this week...one for her frind Ellee. She was NOT happy about those!
This is more like what she really felt like at the doctor.

When I was starting to feel a little better, I took Annie swimming one morning so she wouldn't go insane being inside the house for two weeks! This was pretty much effortless..perfect for how I was still feeling. She monkey walked around the entire pool multiple times. Daddy taught her this last time and she's already a pro! Of course she had to jump in a few times though and swim!

Can you tell she needed to get out?!?

Awww

Saturday morning, I was almost better, Still a little sick to my tummy but we couldn't miss my good friend Jen's shower. I toughened up and as I had her gift all set up on the kitchen table ready to wrap, I ran back to my bedroom to grab something and I come out and see Annie checking everything out and talking to herself saying...Aw, cute baby shirt and shoes, Mommy! ha ha She was adoring the little clothes and even tried to wear the shoes for a second! ha ha Oh she is going to love helping me pick out clothes and dressing the baby! She is going to make the best big sister!

We took Annie to the park at Riverview Saturday night. Brian wanted to watch a few of his friends play ball so I took Annie on the park. She was in heaven as usual when we take her to the park and played her little heart out. I dragged along moving from bench to bench and although I wasn't 100 percent yet, I HAD to get out!!! It was so nice outside!

With Annie being sick with her cold, Daddy went in her room last night and read story after story to her...her favorite! I walked in and they looked so cute. Daddy was reading right beneath Annie and she was playing with his hair and face while she listened. She kept grabbing his nose and saying honk honk! ha ha
