Hmm, Friday the girls seemed happy and maybe just a bit stuffed up. Being related to me though, we tend to not think too much about that as I'm dealing with allergies almost year round and especially right now, not a great time. So we enlisted the grandparents and a friend to watch them in the evening so we could visit with some friends. I think hand and foot has to be one of the more addictive card games I've played (it's a variety on canasta)
Well if we thought things were a-ok on the health front Friday evening, we woke up to a big surprise - two completely stuffed up babies with major digestive issues. Props to the hubby as I almost had to leave the room. Ew. I'm sorry but I'm missing the gene or ability to deal with major diaper issues without being grossed out. We got them cleaned up (okay so mostly hubby) and put everything in the laundry. I had to run out to get a few things for later as due to an illness another family member couldn't host MIL's b-day gathering so we were. (Of course we said yes on Friday when we thought everyone was healthy.) On top of that we had a parents as teachers visit right before his family was coming over. I think I really need to start using the calendar that's on our fridge.
Laundry wasn't done by the time the sickies wanted a nap so Allie took one on her bare mattress. (Hmm, given the morning's events, kind of a risky move.) They did fine with the party but had the same diaper issues after the second lap. Laundry time again. (Yes we bought multiple sheets for their cribs, but only one mattress cover per crib - awesome!) Allie took quite awhile to fall asleep that night.
Sunday morning we woke up to yet another round of digestive pyrotechnics and hubby sick as well. Let's just say it made for a long day. It seems a lot of people I know post on FB and such how their sick kids sleep a lot. Our girls apparently have a destructive need when feeling ill. They got into everything. Cd rack, bookcase, bathroom supplies............ Now I guess it's kind of our fault for not shutting some doors but keeping them happy seemed a better option.
Let's just hope by some crazy miracle the girls wake up perfectly happy tomorrow and can go to school. Hubby stayed home today but we both could use going into work and sad to say, sometimes I just prefer a nice routine.
Oh yuck. Stuffy to stomach issues, that would not be what anyone would expect. Since I have dealt with multiple sicknesses (blech) I have learned that towels sometimes work better than sheets. Throw one or two on the mattress and makes for an easier clean up.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone is healthy again soon!
Oh that all sounds awful. I hate it when that happens. I hope that the girls start getting better soon so you all can get back to normal.
ReplyDeleteSick is the worst...we've had it for 2 weeks now and I think (knock wood) that it's finally gone!!!
