i love my life but not right now. i have been sick since october 27th and not with just the common cold. it has been HELL! it feels like a mix between strep throat, bronchitis, sinusitis, the flu, and being pregnant. i have been to the doctor 3 times and i get the same answer everytime "it's a virus". lets just say 2 days a week jude is at both of his grandma's house so mommie can get better. turns out, i am not getting better. i have missed work, church, and everything else i am responsible for. poor dr. parker had to deal with me crying after another negative strep test so i could just get on antibiotics and get better. he just told me that sometimes being pregnant is like having aids, you have no immune system and you get everything. he also told me it could let up in another week or when i deliver. GREAT! kill me now! my best friend is instant spiced apple cider because its the only thing that feels good on my throat and i hate tea.
oh and did i forget to mention what a good mom i am? while feeling sorry for myself and laying on the couch i didn't realize that jude was really sick as well. i just thought he had what i had but after 3 days with a 103 degree fever and then a sudden break out in a rash, we took him to insta-care for kids only to find that he had strep throat that had turned into scarlet fever! really, i am a loving and attentive mom but somehow i missed that. who gets scarlet fever? well we do. we have really great luck! so we are just sitting here at home on carnation waiting to get better. luckily jude got a shot and will get better. i don't know so much about me.

You better be nice to Jude... I'm still scarred for the way you treated me when I had Scarlet Fever. It gets better Jude.. the names go away.
Ohhhh....I understand!!! You are not a bad mom, just a tired one. If it makes you feel better abe has got the rash with this bout of strep throat...I waited a little long with him too. I hope you get better soon. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm glad you're at least feeling ok to go to dinner! That was fun!
Yuck!! I'm sorry that you aren't feeling good! Drink Pomegranate juice..it has loads of antioxidants! :) Let me know if there is anything I can do!
You're not a bad Mom...Jude is just an abnormally good baby boy. He hardly complains and then you find out he's really sick! This too shall pass....
Mom
It sucks to be sick, but sucks even more when you are pregnant. Your not a bad mom at all though. I hope that you can find some relief somewhere, sometime. Hopefully you can enjoy Thanksgiving. I'll keep you in my prayers.
