Bryan and Annie

So Mother's Day, my birthday and Audrey's birthday all fall within two weeks of each other. Let me tell you a little bit about how these past two weeks have gone...

1. Audrey was sick.
2. Julia was sick.
3. I was sick.
4. I bet I went through 17 diapers on one day...
5. and probably 6 pairs of Julia's underwear.
6. I took nearly 5 hours worth of naps on one day because this sickness made me very tired.
7. Got puked on at Red Robin while eating my free dinner.
8. Had Audrey puke at a friend's house while they were watching her.
9. Bryan worked 13 hours straight and probably put in a 115 hour work week.
10. Googled prolonged diarrhea in children at least three times.
11. Took Julia to the bathroom four times in one shopping trip at Meijer.
12. Stayed home from church.
13. Had to cancel my birthday date because we were all sick.
14. Bryan had journal club on my actual birthday and I spent a total of 1 hour with him.
15. Had to help plan a primary activity and help put on the primary activity the morning after Audrey was up all night puking.
16. Was stuck cooped up not only because of sickness but because of an excessive amount of rain.

So I suppose you guessed it. We indeed have all been sick. I almost forget that I was even sick because my life has really been all about caring and worrying for my girls. Especially this little one...

My little Audrey has been such a healthy child, but since we got back from our trip she has been one sick puppy. It's been crazy. She gets sick and gets better and then it starts all over again. It has been two weeks of this. Thankfully she really is feeling better today and I honestly feel like we are near the end of it (oh I hope hope hope so).
I complained so much about my birthday but I must admit it was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I have never in my life had so many people think of me on my birthday. I had some treats brought over, several phone calls, emails, facebook and a friend even made me and my girls lunch. I cannot even begin to say how much that meant to me especially when it was such a crummy week. Then Bryan got to come home earlier then planned and brought me a cake and a gift card to go shopping. And to top it off it was mostly a non-sick day for the girls and I. It really ended up being a great day and reminded of how lucky and blessed I really am.

Oooohhh that chocolate cake was so yummy.
