Sickness Update

So the kids are finally getting over their sickness. It has been a long 2 and a half weeks and I hope we NEVER have to do this again... oh wait, now Zach and I have colds! Ours aren't as bad as the kids' were though, so we are ok.

*Thanks to Dr. Miller for the antibiotics (even though they didn't really do anything)
*Thanks to Dr. Rod for the eye drops
*Thanks to my mom for introducing the chewable tylenol and ibuprofen for Boky (that liquid stuff is nasty and she hated it)
*Thanks for letting me borrow the humidifier, ours sucks :(
*Thanks to everyone for their concerns

We Made it through!!!

Sickness at the Grove house...

It all started with one pink eye...
now we have 4 pink eyes, two nasty coughs, 4 tired grove's, 2 bottle's of tylenol (one infant and one children's), 2 bottles of ibuprofen, 1 bottle robitussin, one bottle of eye drops for the 4 pink eyes, a humidifier, and two missed days of work.

I must say that through all of this Zach has been amazing! While I on the other hand have been a beastie! He took them to the doctor all by himself yesterday and went and filled the Rx. He took the day off so that I could finish working and finish up a project at my mom's. He rented movies for Boky and bought chocolate to help me cope.

Last night was less than awesome. I fell asleep early (9pm) and was awakened by coughing, snotty, sad kiddlette's at 2am. I stayed up with TJ til 6am and then finally just passed out on the couch with her on my chest and Boky laying right next to me. I know Zach didn't sleep well either but I closed the bedroom door so he could at least try to catch some ZZZ's.

Zach headed to work today and I took the day off. I can't believe he did this all day yesterday, it's 15:44 and I have all but fallen completely apart. I haven't even showered yet :(

Zach gets the MAN OF THE YEAR award just for yesterday, he is totally amazing with the girls and I don't know how he does it. Love you babe!

Baby Acne?

So the past week(ish) Tessa face has gotten really broke out. Zach asked me about it and I told him that babies get acne and it's normal. Today when we got up and moving he asked why her acne was spreading all over her head and neck... weird. Then I got to thinking about how Mom gave Rachel, who was also an August baby, heat rash because she wrapped her up all the time thinking she was cold. Well... I'm pretty sure it's heat rash. Poor kid. Here I am thinking she likes to be really warm and cuddled and I give her a heat rash... nice huh? So the lesson learned here, use cotton blankets and don't let her sweat!
