Halloween, Thanksgiving, sickness.

So thought I would take a few minutes to update everybody on how things have been and are going!

Halloween this year was a little rough on me, I really wanted to be able to take Sam out trick or treating, but I was so sick at the time it would have just made me worse. The kids all had croup a week or so before and of course I got the adult version of it.  AJ was able to take him around the block wih his cousin's though and I know he enjoyed it. Hopefully next year I will be able to take him out. I don't know that he really liked having to wear his costume though, lol.

The rest of fall was pretty uneventful. Sam got sick again the week before Thanksgiving with pinkeye and then a sinus/ear infection. We were able to curb the pinkeye pretty quickly with some eye drops, which let me tell you are a bitch to give to a toddler. We had to take him to the Dr like five times just to get the ear infection diagnosed and get him on antibiotics for it. Thank God for my mother-in-law who was able to take him to the Dr so I didn't have to miss work. Once he was on the antibiotics for a few days he started acting a lot better and just in time for Thanksgiving.

I want to say that Thanksgiving was wonderful, but of course I caught what Sam had plus having morning sickness made the day pretty sucky for me. Everyone else had fun though and enjoyed themselves and really the food was pretty good, I just couldn't eat as much of it as I wanted. We ended up having to leave earlier than we would've liked to because I had a fever and was just being a sick lump on the couch. After we got home Sam and I were able to nap for a few hours and finally break my fever which helped me feel better just in time to put our Christmas decorations up, and of course my wonderful husband put up the outside decorations while we were napping.

All in all this fall was not what I expected it to be, a lot of us being sick, so far AJ hasn't caught anything yet, and I really think the only reason I have is because I'm pregnant and my immune system isn't as strong as it normally would be. Here's hoping we can get through December without any yucky sicknesses!
