Rough Week

Well...this week has been rough...to say the least. We started the week with news that one of our precious "little" friends had the flu. So, after a call to the doctor, I got on Tamiflu. That night, during the night, Jarrod came down with a NASTY stomach bug. It has managed to knock out a member of our household daily. So far, Jarrod had it Monday night and Tuesday, Logan had it Tuesday night and Wednesday, my sweet Mother got it this morning...so far Elly and I have avoided it, but its just a matter of time. Thankfully for me, they can give me zofran in my iv tomorrow morning...unfortunately for me, sweet Elly will have to rely on someone else to clean her up and take care of her--this doesn't make for a very happy mama! If you know me, you know I don't like giving up control...this is going to take it out of me...being in the hospital trying to take care of Sweet Baby3 and worrying the whole time about our precious Elly. Obviously, I know that she's in not only good hands, but GREAT hands (assuming my mom is well enough to care for her), but still--she's my baby and I have the hormones of a 9 month preggo lady...giving up control is not really in my book. I've been told today that maybe that's why God is allowing this--so that I can be prepared for the chaos that is 3 kids. I'm not sure, but I AM sure that I don't like it--NOT. ONE. BIT! I just pray that somehow, someway my mom recovers quicker than Logan and Jarrod did and that Elly can just not get it at all. Then pray that we can somehow get this sick infested house re-cleaned (a cleaning service came all day Tuesday, so my VERY clean, VERY disinfected house is now a complete and total SICK zone within 2 days...that will require some heavy bleach in 2 of the 3 bathrooms and in 3 bedrooms...yikes!)...but I of course want it cleaned (again) before we bring Sweet Baby3 home. Crazy...nuts...insane--that's what this week has been and I'm pretty sure by this time next week that's what I will be if all of this doesn't just go away. Soon.

All of that aside, we are still scheduled to deliver (cut time--as the nurse told me today--yes nice thought) at 8:30 tomorrow morning. So, please pray for easy surgery, easy recovery and a precious, healthy Sweet Baby3. We'll update tomorrow with pictures, gender, name, birth info.
