Angels

This hasn't been my favorite week. I got a sinus/ear infection that gave me vertigo which made me nauseated. It's tricky bouncing or rocking a baby when your head is spinning when you're holding still let alone moving. I'm finally starting to feel better, but am still a little dizzy. The good news is:

Joshy and Benny have been angels. Joshua has never been more adorable, smiling and cooing, oh I can't get enough of him. Ben was so good natured to just play and watch shows with me while I laid around as much as I could.

One afternoon I stood up to go get Joshua and got hit with a wave of nausea. I knew I wasn't going to be able to ride that wave out so I set Joshy down on the ground and yelled for Anna and dashed to the bathroom. Anna quickly rescued Joshy from being "rescued" by Benny. She then grabbed the phone and called Brennan to tell him I was not in good shape. She knew he was supposed to work late that night but suggested he figure out a way to come home earlier. She then kept checking with me to see if she could get me anything.

Poor Brennan had a crazy busy day, but stayed home as long as he could and then did find a way to come home earlier than planned. My mom came to help me and my visiting teachers brought dinner yet again. I HATE being sick, but it has made me grateful for all the angels in my life, oh and for antibiotics.

I'm so sorry Andrea! That sounds miserable!
You have the sweetest kids.

I would never have known at Anna's age to suggest that my Dad came home earlier. She's such a good helper.

That does not sound like fun at all. I am glad you are feeling better. Anna sounds like such a good helper. Hope you continue to feel better!

What darling kids you have to help you out like that. Hope you're feeling better!

LOL--"Anna quickly rescued Joshy from being "rescued" by Benny."!

So sweet to see the older ones "get" what's happening and jump in to help. That's how Anna's Mom was as a little girl as well.

Terri suffers from Vertigo at times and I know how miserable it is. Anna is such a grown up young lady and so dependable. I am sure Joshua would have survived Benny's loving care; but it all worked out for the best. Ha Ha. I hope you are feeling much better now and good for mom's who come to the rescue.

I found your blog! Wahoo!

I hope you are prepared- I read EVERY SINGLE WORD that people write. (Which means you won't be able to complain about your neighbors anymore)
