Was Sick Again.

Well as stated before my oldest was sick first. Thought maybe it was just something that didn't agree with him so we went to my BIL and SIL's house on Christmas Eve. We all had a good time and it was so nice to have hubby's family all together. Well all but one brother was there anyway. I think it was the best Christmas with them in a long time. Since I can remember Christmas with his family have always been a little harried. Someone usually always ends up in an argument with someone but this time it was wonderful and everyone got along. It was so good to see. I hope they continue to be that way because weather they know it or not they really do need each other.

Ok on with my story LOL. So Christmas Eve went well. Christmas Day we went to my mom's and had a good time there as well. My brother and his wife and their daughter was there. I loved seeing my little baby niece. She is just such a happy baby girl. She is getting so big. Seems like they just had her and she is eight months old now. Well after we get home during the night my youngest started getting sick. So I was up all night with him. What little sleep we got was on the couch since it was the closest to the bathroom and we only have one bathroom. But again it only seemed to last through the night and by morning he was better. My hubby then came down with a slight case of it on Tuesday. His wasn't as bad but he wasn't feeling well. I also wasn't too hot but I think that was just from dealing with a sick child all night. Well Wednesday we went out shopping and when we got home that evening I was sick with it. So again I slept on the couch becasue it was near the bathroom. Then by Thursday morning I was doing better. Today I am much better than I was.

This whole month we have been sick with something. I think it's only been one week in this whole month we haven't been sick. But praise God it wasn't to terrible and it didn't last long either time. I feel a little bad for hubby though since he had all this week off but wasn't able to enjoy it much because we were all sick. He has to go back to work on New Years Day evening. He works midnights so he has to go in then.

Jan 3rd will be hubby's and my youngest sons birthday. I can't believe my baby will be five years old already. Seems like only yesterday I was in the hospital waiting to go in the O.R. to have a planned C-section with him (they said he was looking big like my oldest son so I probably get another C-section with him). I remember I could have chose the 2nd, 3rd or 4th to have him and I decided to have him on hubby's b-day. We had to be there at 5am to get all prepared to have the C-section. My hubby stayed up all night (the poor man) so he wouldn't have to try and wake himself up when it was time to go. We get there and they hook me all up to things they needed me hooked up to and about 7am they wheeled me in to surgery. Hubby came in, in hospital clothes and sat above my head. It seemed to go so fast and I hear my little guy crying. I remember thinking my baby is here but being oh so tired at the same time. Hubby, as with our fist, was the first to hold him. They put him next to me so I can see him and I remember saying wow he looks like his big brother. They quickly took him out and did what they had to do and hubby left with them to show our little man to our family. I can't believe that was five years ago already (well almost anyway) .

We won't have a party for him on his birthday but I am thinking since his brothers birthday is in Marcy I might have one big part between the two months for both of them. They share most of the same friends and I think they would love to have a big party for both of them. This way too it will be after taxes and we will have a little extra money. So hard to have a birthday right after Christmas. But I think it will all work out.
