Round 2.

Well, Mac caught something else! Not the pukey flu this time but a different bug! The poor little dude has been achy, sniffly, coughing, sneezing, feverish, and had a sore throat now for almost a week! (Good grief, I sound like a NyQuil commercial!) But it's breakin' this mama's heart! I wish there were something more I could do for him than just dose after dose of Ibuprofen. Ugh. Maybe I should've asked the doctor about vitamins when we went in to see him on Friday! 'Course, Mac's probably still too young! Apparently, there's just not much a parent can do for their sick child until said child turns 3! Not even Chloraseptic spray for sore throats! And this was not just any sore throat. This was the I'd-rather-drool-because-I-just-don't-want-to-swallow kind of sore throat! So sad! :( Not to mention - OUCH! I guess for now all we can do is: lots of naps, lots of hugs, lots of fluids and a few doses of Ibuprofen in between all of that. Looking forward to healthier days ahead!

Flu, Flu, Go Away!

Yep. We got it. That dreaded flu bug that's been kickin' everyone in the patootie. Thankfully, ours was of the 24-hour variety. Mac was pukey all day on Wednesday. I felt like I was gonna vomit that entire night (it's a wonder I got any sleep)! And Brent stayed home from work on Thursday due to a sour tummy and not much sleep... what with me tossing and turning, and then Mac joined us for the night since I just don't like him sleeping so far away if there's a chance he could vomit. We are on the mend, however. Mac seemed like his usual energetic self both yesterday and today. My tummy is still a little tender/ sensitive. Not eating much... but, then again, I won't be withering away from lack of food anytime soon. :) Maybe this is just the "boost" I needed to start my winter cleanse?!? Wish me luck!

It's Been A While, I Know.

I think I might be ready to join the blogging bandwagon again... Not only is it a great creative outlet for me but I'm realizing that it helps me enormously in keeping track of Mac's growing up: from the smallest of accomplishments to the hugest milestones! (Not to mention keeping my typing accuracy in the "above average" range!) I'm not sure if I'll try to "catch up" or not... I'm thinking 6 months (or more?) might be a little much to worry about... but we'll see. For now, it's just good to be back!
