Sick Family

Well, we have all been sick these past few weeks. I started getting sick on new years eve and by the end of the weekend i had a full blown head cold!!! bad sinuses, a cough, soar throat, headache, and congestion. and would you know it, i gave it to Teagan by Sunday night... poor thing. tuesday and wednesday night she was so stuffed up that when she got upset she would puke. it kind of freaked me out. so i took her to the doc on Thursday and took a sick day. My mom came over to help me out and clean the house while i tended to sick Teagan. The doc said she just had a virus and there is nothing we can do. so constant humidifier and nose sucking and wiping for the next 10 days. Chris has now finally joined in and is starting to get sick. i am finally getting better, not all the way gone, but pretty close. Teagan is doing much better too. she still has a runny nose and a bit of a cough, but isnt nearly as miserable as before. poor thing, her eyes were so watery it looked like she was constantly crying because they would get so red.

While she was sick we really babied  her alot to keep her from crying and then puking up her entire dinner. So now she thinks she is going to get treated that way all the time. well guess what kid... not going to happen. She is used to us holding her a lot and hand feedng her her sippy cup of warm milk.

she has started this new thing where she holds her sippy cups like they are babies and treats them that way. We are having a hard time at night now giving her her sippy cup because she wants to take it with her to bed. She doesnt want to drink it, just hold it close. Well that is not going to happen, at least i am going to try my best. We have started a lot of bad habbits that we need to stop now. I just hope we all recover completely now so we can get our lives back to normal.
