The 7 sick days before Christmas...

Well, after Amelia's party last weekend Ava woke from her nap and vomited, also had a fever. By Monday morning Dave was sick with a head cold and was worn out. By Wednesday I took a very miserable Ava to the doctor - she had an ear infection. By Wednesday evening Drew was sick, took him to the doctor on Thursday afternoon to find he had an ear infection also. Andrew missed school Thursday and Friday. By Friday afternoon I was sick with the head cold. There was a lot of running around last week for the holidays. This past weekend was all about rest and recovery. It was actually nice because we didn't really run around aimlessly. All of our Christmas shopping and errands are mostly done.

We picked up Andrew's new wheelchair last Thursday. He has pretty much outgrown his old chair which we purchased about 4 years ago. His new chair is covered mostly by insurance... which is a good thing because we don't have the $12,100 to pay out of pocket for it!! Amelia went to "green school" this morning for her Christmas party where she met Santa and told him she would like, "a real fish, a real humpback whale and a real seal" for Christmas. Ava's school party with Santa is tomorrow. Andrew went to school for a half day and came home with his own Christmas treats. School is on for tomorrow, but after that there's the break until after New Years.

I am 23 weeks pregnant and am going for a check up tomorrow. My belly is definately pregnant looking now and is really heavy feeling, my left leg has an ache from the hip bone to the top of my thigh - but no complaints. I feel the baby moving a lot and hope to keep things as smooth as possible.
