On the mend (finally)

Since 'that' weekend spent collecting germs, we've had a few rough days and nights with alot of runny snotty noses and coughing.  All of the babies are on the mend and so is Tony, but I, on the other hand seem to be having the most difficult time shaking the sickness off.  I've been to see my doctor on two occasions and have taken several days off of work.  (I'm so glad I still have unlimited sick time.)  On the first trip there, I was told I had bronchitis and given antibiotics and steriods.  After a few days and not getting any better, I went again and was told that I could possibly have pneumonia or even mono!  Great!  I went today for a chest x-ray and blood work to either confirm or rule out either of these diagnoses.  My supervisor at work is really awesome and understanding and let me know that I don't need to be a martyr and keep coming to work with pneumonia - it's ok to take another day.  The problem with taking another day off is that I feel like I'd actually work harder being at home with the babies.  She also let me know that if I continue to come to work sick - she'll expect no less in the future - even if I've lost a limb or something like that. 

Last weekend, my MoM's club had their annual flea market/sale.  I had been gearing up for it for a few weeks - going through clothes and other items that we no longer use/need.  I was going to skip it because I was feeling really crappy, but Tony stepped in and saved the day - or rather the sale!  We arranged for Mel to come over early in the morning and Tony and I packed up both cars with all the stuff that we were going to attempt to sell, drove the 40 minutes to Hamilton and started unpacking the stuff.  Luckily, there were several people from the club that were there to lend a hand and cart all of the stuff from the car into the library.  The place was already packed and trying to organize all of the things seemed like a daunting task, but Tony took it all in stride and started making chit-chat with others there and before we knew it, people were digging through the boxes of clothes and filling the Halo Farm bags for $5.00 a bag for their little ones to wear.  I think overall, Tony sold about $175 worth of items and we divided up the proceeds and added it to their bank accounts.  Tony made one purchase there from a fellow MoM - a little scooter with a ball.  He saw it and thought of little Tony who seems to like to ride the lion (ride-on toy), but he likes to try to bounce on it - so this ride-on toy seemed perfect.

Here's a picture of Amelia on it...

Here's a few pictures from the week - I realized that I never got any good pictures of the girls in their Valentine's outfits so I took a few.

Anyways, today - well now yesterday 3/7/13 marked 19 months for my babies.  Tonight was the first time in several days that I can recall that they all seemed really happy and content.  Not whiny at all and ate their dinner well and happily played together in the bathtub without altercation.  It was really nice.  I ended up taking a long video of them in the bath tub, but don't want to take the time to load it now or for that matter have it on here for any pervs to see.  So unfortunately, I'll keep my nude baby pictures to myself.
