Wow! It has been a rough week at the Hogue house! It started last Tuesday night with me getting the flu. Maddie and I were home alone since Bob had to work that night. There is nothing harder than trying to entertain a two year old when you feel so awful. Thank goodness Maddie is a little rock star and tried to help her Mama anyway she could. First she came into the bathroom and asked if she could sing to me? (thinking it would make me feel better) And then offered to snuggle me. It didn't last long as I got sick again, but I love her sweet spirit!
I couldn't wait for Bob to get home and was already in bed. I had no idea that our night would be so short. I was up sick in the night and it didn't take long for Maddie to catch the bug either. Bob got it too and it was hard for us to get out of bed and get Maddie cleaned up. She was a trooper and told me that she would be fine and I could keep my own puke bucket. In between changing sheets, blankets, and cleaning carpets, we were all wiped out!
Most of Wednesday was spent with us cuddled in blankets, eating crackers, and sleeping. By that night I thought we were all on the up and up, but I guess I was wrong. Today as I type this, it's Friday. I attempted to go to work this morning and it didn't last long. On top of the flu, I'm getting a wonderful head cold. I still felt terrible and came home and went right to bed. It feels nice to get some rest and I'm hoping to get my energy back soon. We all are still dragging a little bit, but I guess that comes with the territory?
Bob is at work, Maddie is at daycare and I'm tucked in bed. I'm not sure if I'm having a hard time recovering because I'm pregnant or this bug has really got me down? My computer is broken so I haven't been able to update with any pictures. We had a lovely time last weekend with Bob's family in Rochester. We celebrated Christmas with his family and had a nice visit with his mother.
It is my goal to do a better job with this blog this year. I want to document things that happen in our family since I'm not into scrapbooking and want to have something to look back on. I hope to document this pregnancy and update on our Dr. appointments. We have one this Tuesday the 19th so I'm looking forward to hearing the heartbeat and meeting with our Dr. We will have a new Dr. this time because mine no longer delivers babies. I hope and pray that everything goes ok and we have a smooth pregnancy. So far, this one has been a lot harder than with Maddie. I have felt more nauseous and tired this time. I would guess it's a boy, but we will have to wait and see???
