Still sick.

Well all of us have been affected by the stomach bug.

Thursday night, when my family was due to arrive, I started feeling horrible. I couldn't even finish straightening my house (that should tell you something) and had to lie down. It hit me full force later that evening, and I was so miserable. Kurt had to work Friday, so if my family hadn't been there, I don't know what I would've done. Seriously. But I managed to get some talking in with them, and even rallied enough to sit through a dinner at a restaurant because I burst into tears I wanted to get out of the house so badly. I still felt awful, but ded gum it, I was going to see something other than my house.

Saturday my family left, and Kurt helped with Evy so much. He is so wonderful. I was still having symptoms off and on and just really lathargic. I got a sub for my little two year olds for Sunday morning and we stayed home from church. Then Kurt came down with it.

Thankfully I was able to rally enough yesterday to take care of the baby since Kurt was SICK. Last night, I went to bed late (I had energy because I was able to sneak a nap in while Evy napped), but right as I laid my head down, I heard a weird noise on the monitor. Sure enough, Evy had thrown up a little and had diarrhea in her diaper. Kurt heard and tried to come help, but got lightheaded when he was holding Evy up over the sink for me to hose her off. So I sent him back to bed and finished bathing her, stripped her crib bedding, tried to find another mattress pad (to no avail), so finally put a towel underneath a crib sheet--by myself. There was nothing else to do with Evy but give her toys, turn the lights on, and let her play at 2:30 a.m. She went right back to bed afterward which was great. While I was awake, I ended up putting new sheets on the guest room bed and just sleeping there since it's closer to the nursery. Plus, I didn't want to re-infect myself next to Kurt. Wow.

So today, Kurt took a sick day and is on the mend. Evy is her happy, high-energy self (at least for now), and I have a full-blown sinus infection (yes, even after having the stomach flu, because that just wasn't enough). The Lord really knows what we need---Kurt's mom woke up to a SNOW DAY (in north Mississippi of all places) and is coming to help at least for today and tomorrow. Surely I'll be better by then.

I feel so behind in the blog world, but my mind can't even focus to read anything. Keep praying we heal around here. I'll be catching up soon. I will absolutely be posting tomorrow, because the "baby" I've referred to in this post turns one. It's just unreal. What a way to celebrate, right?
