So the last few weeks have been a bit of a whirl wind in the Herbert Household....
A three weeks ago Monday Daddy left the house shortly after 430 am to fly to Cancun for a sales conference. Note the week before Sophie and Daddy were both really congested and Daddy even went to the doctor on Saturday for meds for his sinus infection. At about 5:30 I arose to start a very busy and hectic week. At 6:15 I awakened Sophie to hear her coughing like crazy. Once she had some water she was fine. Rush rush rush and off to the sitter and work we went by 7:30 I was at work trying to function because I was all congested now. I decided I would never survive the week if I didn't go get some meds for my sinus infection. So after work I stopped at the doctor and indeed a sinus infection. Off to get Sophie at Suzanne's, to the pharmacy and home for naps...that's right I said naps...cause I needed to lie down for an hour even though I did not sleep. At about 3 Sophie awakened from her nap and mamaw and papaw were here to help entertain her for a few hours...thank goodness. At about 7 they took off and we got into our jammies and had girls movie night until about 7:45...then off to bed Sophie went.
Tuesday Morning was better. I slept descent due to my sinus infection knocking me out and so did Sophie...by 7:30 she was at the sitter and I was at work. At 1230 I picked her up and she had been complaining her ears were hurting her...so I decided to take her to the doctor thinking her eating habits had been a little off and due to previous colds causing ear infections I thought I'd better get her checked up. Found out she has a iritated throat and more molars causing her gums to be inflammed. No wonder it's hard for her to chew. So we got back home at about 4:30 after stopping at Walmart for yogart, juice, and applesauce and a princess potty doll which she talked me into buying. She managed to eat a peanut butter sandwich and some yogurt. The rest of the evening we played with her doll, I cleaned up the kitchen and we played in the basement, took a bath and off to bed she went by 7:30 and I was in bed at 9 after chatting with Daddy on Skype.
Wednesday Morning Sophie was really clinging to me on the drop off to Suzanne's I think she is missing Daddy and her normal morning routine...I concur. So about three hours into my morning I get a phone call saying she'd thrown up twice. So I left work and went to get her. Seems she gaged on all that awesome snot that's been running down her irritated throat. So on the way home she fell asleep in the car and I took her straight upstairs for nap. Papaw joined us for few hours today and Sophie seemed to be better so I don't think it was a flu bug..
Thursday Morning, let's just say we made it...and I knew and she knew Daddy would be home at the end of the day.
All in all we survived the week. We always do..just a few glitches along the way and some really great snuggling. So glad Daddy is back home with us and hope we don't have to do this again anytime real soon.
Once Daddy returned home he was not feeling all that great so the next four days we lied low....then that Tuesday evening Sophie started screaming her head off so we both took off running upstairs there she was covered in her own....well let's just say she had the flu....this started at about 8:30 that evening and did not stop until about 3:30 am the next morning. Daddy was on laundry duty, and Mommy was on clean Sophie up and change jammies duty along with both of us comforting her. Some where in the mix she got sick on me so a shower was required...all and all we both worked as a team and stayed calm. Daddy headed off to work Wednesday morning while I stayed home to comfort Sophie and to sanitize the house from top to bottom. Note: Best part of this was she fell asleep on me Wednesday afternoon and laid on me for three hours...makes me miss the real little stage.
Five Days went by and Bob and I thought we'd escaped the germs so since everyone was well we headed to Urbana on Saturday to spend some time with my parents. Well we were wrong on escaping the germs....I started in with it Saturday evening around 8:30 and hugged the porcelain for nearly 8 hours...it was awful...right as I had calmed down Sophie was waking up right around 6:30 am so Bob was going to get up with her so I could sleep and then all of a sudden he was making a mad dash to the bathroom and he was back and forth for nearly 8 hours with it as well.....luckily I was able to wake my loving parents out of bed for assistance because we were both down for the count...it was awful...
Sophie however had a great time eating snacks, playing outside and watching movies with her grandparents. By 4:30 we decided we should attempt to make it home so I drove and Sophie and Bob relaxed. When we got home we put nothing away....just laid down...got up to make her a PB Sandwich and a Banana and get her jammies
We have survived all of this but are hoping that the storm of germs has passed and that Mamaw and Papaw do not get sick... We would like to thank them for taking care of Sophie and us when we were at are worst....and I think that has been our worst together since we met 10 years ago and have been married almost six. We've been sick separately but not at the same time.
Here's to the warm weather and spring!!!
