Sick and Tired

Nick and I no longer have internet at our house, so it gets to be a while between visits to my parents to use their internet. So don't feel like I've just abandoned my blogging efforts. It just takes me a lot longer to get around to doing things these days.

The past two weeks have been rather exhausting for us. Nick ended up getting the flu all last week. I think I got a little bit of that myself. Nick had chills and body aches and the such where as I had extreme hot flashes where I couldn't cool off and I was tired all the time. This is more than just what I feel from my pregnancy. Then Nick developed a cough toward the end of last week. My cough came a few days later. Nick's turned into pneumonia and he's been on antibiotics and strong cough syrup for the past few days. I'm pretty sure I got bronchitis but I haven't gone to the doctor to get it checked out. There isn't much you can do for bronchitis. I've been watching myself carefully to make sure that things don't progress and get worse. The last thing I need is pneumonia while pregnant. But we seem to be on the mend. We finally got out of the house today to do a few things. I'm tired, but hanging in there. Both our coughs are subsiding, thank goodness. Thankfully the boys have not shown any signs of being sick. It's been bad enough taking care of my sick husband, two crazy boys, being sick myself, and being pregnant on top of all of that. I'm exhausted. I need a vacation!
