A Long Week!

This week has been full of sickness! To start off I took Brooke to the Doctor Monday cause she had pink eye. No big deal right?! Well the doctor asked if there had been any changes in her sleep patterns and as a matter of fact there had. I didn't give that too much thought, I just thought that she was adjusting her schedule like babies do. She was still sleeping 11 hours at night ( instead of her usual 12-13 hours) and her naps had shortened, but she still was happy ALL the time so that's why there was no worry out of mom. Well the Doc said that unless babies get pink eye from someone in the family(which not one had it), one of the most common causes is ear infections. Who knew, and sure enough the poor girl had a double ear infection:( I felt bad! How am I supposed to know if your sick little girl when your so happy all the time? Then that night Kylee woke up at 1 am with an extreme case of the croup! I was wishing it was winter so we could go outside to help her out, but 65 degrees at night wasn't going to cut it. She fevered all the next day, another rough night and then she was good to go by Thursday. I thought I was in the clear, but that morning Caden woke up croupy although he wasn't near as bad and by 10 he was back to normal. So needless to say I had missed the gym most of the week and hardly got a decent workout in at home! Friday I load all the kids in the car ready for a good workout, but my chest was feeling slightly tight, I brushed it off but 20 minutes on the StairMaster and I thought my lungs were going to explode! So much for the good workout I was going to get in. Instead I headed to the steam room and relaxed and breathed as deep as I could to try and help break up my little chest cold!:( Today I'm feeling alittle better but I'm forgoing working out another day to rest. As much as I like to workout, I will say that this rest has been kinda nice! I just hope that no one else gets sick! I'm ready to have my sleep back!
