I was just thinking we were over the hump and on the mend.....then at about 10:30 this morning, the door opened and Dustin walked in with the stomach virus. I think his must be at 24 hour thing, because he seems much better this evening. In the 9 years I've known him, he's only left work one other time for sickness. He must have really felt bad today. He rested most of the day and the kids never realized he was home until supper time when he's normally home anyway because he stayed in bed.
Carson is much better, I am just trying to get his weight back on that he lost. He's already a shrimp! I can't get rid of my cold, but that's okay. It's better, just lingering. Emmy's had a runny nose and this evening Dustin was holding her, trying to clean it. She started kicking her legs and said "I cannot believe it." You really never know what she will say.....we were cracking up at her. She's SUCH the drama queen.
I have been cleaning like crazy around here. You probably couldn't tell if you came by, but we are getting more ready for the baby each day. 34 weeks down, 6 at the most to go!!! The baby's room is just about ready, we just need Daddy to put the crib together. I have the cradle in our room, set up and ready to go. His clothes are all put away, I have the bottles and nursing supplies in the dishwasher right now, and I cleaned our bathroom really well tonight. That had nothing to do with him, it just really needed to be done. I don't think the whole house has ever been somewhat clean and straight at the same time, because we've always had a junk room since we moved here right before the twins were born. I must say, it is nice NOT to have a junk room. My outdoor shed is pretty full, but we've purged a lot and I hope to purge more. Our bedroom has more stuff than I'd like in it, but it really can't be helped. It's now the "office" in addition to our room. I also have the vaccuum in here because I don't know what else to do with it right now. It hasn't found a home.
I still need to pack the diaper bag, hospital bag, put the carseat in the car, and put the bedding on the crib once it's put together. I also have some cute things for his wall once the crib is up. The theme is based on the bedding set Amanda found for me for $15- it's transportation. It has fire trucks, cars, etc. on it and is so cute. Anyway, we are well on our way to being totally prepared for our little guy!!! I am getting more excited each day, and more at peace with having to leave the twins for delivery. I'm not happy about it, but I am praying about it and finding peace. I am glad to know I can send Dustin back to spend time with them if needed. I don't want them away from both of us for possibly 3-4 days.
Well, I have cleaned a lot today, so I'm off to rest. Tomorrow I go back to eye dr. to check new contacts and the kids are going with me. Before you think I've lost my mind....my grandma will sit in the car with them. We may have to run an errand for her, and I'm sure the kids will be glad to get out of the house. They like to get to go places.
More later.....
