Tea Party for Sick Kids

Zeke had a temp of 104 the other day ... today its 99.9 and he is definitly feeling better, however both Mary and Mom now have fevers of 103.  Z has ben very sweet trying to make Mary happy.  He wanted Mary to come have tea party with him downstairs, but she was laying in bed with me feeling misserable and kept saying "no, no, no".  I told Z maybe if he brought dishes up here he could pour water in them in my bathroom and play ... Mary liked the water idea ... And i think playing with cold water is making her feel better.  And Mikayla put a chewable tylonal on a plate, like a treat, and Mary finally took a dose of it without fighting us!

Faith Hope and Lullabies

We have had great need for calming music lately, its been a long winter of illnesses, and I have honestly invested in several lullaby cds out of desperation. Any mom who has paced and rocked, paced and rocked, and paced and rocked with a sad little one during wee hours of the morning day after day after day will know the desperation I am talking about. Praise the Lord we are getting back to healthy and we have found a new favorite place to listen to Lullabies:

I hope you will go visit Faith Hope and Lullabies at their website. If you are in need of calming lullaby music, here is your chance! Or stock up on cds to give away as baby shower gifts, I can't think of a better gift!

Merry Christmas!

My time on the computer is much less than it used to be, so blogging has slowed down, too. Pregnancy is going about as we expected ... I'm sick sick sick. Lost 10 lbs in the last 4 weeks. I'm not complaining, its just the way life is right now. I've been to the ER for IV fluids and am on Zofran, but still sick. We are going to try do Christmas as usual, but may have to change plans and just stay at home if I get any worse. Am trying very hard to not let the way I physically feel affect my emotions and mood.
