What a week we've had! Not the kind you want when you've got a newborn in the house. Last week, around the 23rd, G.G. came down with a fever and congestion. And per usual, I did too. We went through the weekend just treating symptoms but by last Wednesday I was feeling WAY bad. I gathered up the little ones and Sophie went with me to help and went to the DR. I ended up having to leave because Shep decided to cry and not stop and I just couldn't take it. So on Thursday I was just feeling even worse and decided I had to go. We all loaded up again and tried to make it through. I was there for over three hours. Not fun but so glad that I stayed this time. It turns out that I had walking pneumonia. They gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. Today is Sunday and I have actually started to feel better. Friday I decided to take the two little ones to the DR just to get checked out because I was having a panic attack that maybe they had it too. G.G. was still coughing and acting VERY cranky. She ended up having an ear infection in both ears so now she is taking medicine. Shep has a clogged tear duct so he gets to have drops in his eyes.
Add to all that the intense sleep deprivation and postnatal hormones and you have one fun mother and wife.
So yeah... I've had better weeks. :)
G.G. was a bit cranky last night so I introduced her to the kitchen sink. We pulled up her stool and she helped me wash dishes. She loved it and I think would have played for hours. I finally remembered to grab the camera for some pictures.
Shep is getting so big. He was 8 lbs 2 oz at birth and 7 lbs 2 oz at about 5 days old. When we went to the DR on Friday, he weighed 10 lbs 8 oz. Three pounds! I was surprised. He is such a good little baby. He actually has been doing fairly well the last few nights. He'll go down at about 9 pm and wake up at about 1 am. Last night he didn't wake up until almost 3 am. Wow! I really needed to get a few hours of continuous sleep in. So, thank you little man!
Oh! He's also one month old today. Happy one month sweet guy!
I love you with all my heart!

Sorry to hear you were so sick! Glad you're all feeling better. No fun when you have a little one to care for as well as two others.
He's growing so fast! So precious.
