I'd love to say that we spent the last week of 2010 sharing lots of fun times together as a family, but unfortunately the only thing we shared was a lovely stomach virus that has been going around.
Eden started things off on Christmas morning. When I went to get her up that morning, I quickly realized that she had thrown up in her crib overnight. She never cried or called for us to let us know that she was sick, so by the time I discovered the mess, she had been laying in it for quite some time. It was all over her pajamas, in her hair and on the floor. What a way to start our Christmas celebration! We ended up having to start our morning with a Christmas bath.
The next victim was my mom, who got sick on Christmas afternoon. We had to cancel our family Christmas dinner so that she could rest and get better.
Parker didn't want to eat any dinner on Sunday night and it wasn't long after we put him in bed that he started vomiting. He was sick all night long but thankfully was better by the next morning.
Cory came home from work on Monday not feeling well and by the middle of the night, it was clear that he was next in line to get the virus. He had to take off of work on Tuesday to recuperate and rest.
I woke up Wednesday morning and quickly realized that I was not going to escape getting sick. Thank goodness my mom was able to help me with the kids so I could stay in bed and rest.
Thursday was a good day. The weather was nice and everyone was finally on the mend, so we were able to take the kids to the park to play for awhile. I was looking forward to the long weekend relaxing and spending time together before I have to go back to work on Monday. Unfortunately, as soon as I got Lily in bed, I started getting sick again. I was up all night and only got about an hour of sleep, so instead of playing with the kids today, I stayed in bed and slept. I am finally feeling better and am really hoping that we are finished with the stomach bug. I am going to spend tomorrow washing all the sheets and cleaning the bathrooms to get rid of any germs that might still be lurking in our house!
Although 2010 did not end the way I had hoped, it has been a good year for our family. Welcoming Lily into our family was definitely the highlight of our year and I could not feel more blessed that I now have three beautiful kids. I am looking forward to seeing what 2011 has in store for our family!
