Waiting

Sickness has overcome the Stannix home. I suppose it's good that this babe is staying put for a little while longer. Last Monday night I had contractions all night long. Tuesday night I was awake three times with Ollie. Wednesday night I was cleaning puke off the floor, walls, stuffed animals and bedding. Thursday we had the pukes round two. Friday night Finley developed a croupy cough which landed him in emerge on Saturday evening after Joe's birthday dinner. His fever was high and he was lethargic so we decided to take him in. He had a mini seizure in the room while waiting for the doctor and puked all over. I am so grateful that Mr. Stannix has been here all week to wipe the tears that come every morning when I wake up without any signs of a baby on it's way. It's been a rough week. My kids always know how to get me ready for the sleepless nights that come with having a newborn, that's for sure!
