Poor Monkey3!!!

Little Monkey3 started running a fever Tuesday, and it just kept getting higher and she was really pathetic - hurt all over, tummy ache, head ache, throat sore, lethargic... so my husband took a half day yesterday to take her to the doctor. It turns out she has Strep! None of my kids have ever had this before, so I was surprised. [I'm not surprised she got sick though, at her preschool last week they had the class party and half the kids in there were VERY sick and their parents sent them to school anyway so they wouldn't miss the party! .... Gee, thanks guys!]

She started on antibiotics last night and by this morning she seems to feel 100% better. *I* am keeping her out of school today of course [being the considerate person that I am LOL!]. But she's running around like her normal little mad woman self again today, so I believe she is certainly on the mend.

Of course, I woke up with a sore throat and cough this morning...hopefully not strep. I don't think I've ever had strep either - it just isn't one of our "normal" bugs around here. Hopefully I just have a little cold, I understand bugs are going around like crazy right now.

But, really, when I woke up yesterday I was thinking "I don't have enough going on right now with the pregnancy nausea, exhaustion, vomiting, and the kidneys bleeding constantly - I wish I could get a cold on top of it all. THEN I'll have enough to deal with." LOL!

Otherwise things are good though, everyone else seems healthy and I have no complaints about life at all.

Little "Gamma Ray" [the new baby's nick name ... we figure he/she will come out radioactive and with super powers at this point after surviving so much radiation... LOL!] seems to be doing very well. I'm certainly sick enough to feel that the baby is doing GREAT, which is actually a really good thing.

God is so good!
