Hello all! Sorry I haven't been around very much, but I have been unbelievably busy. I know some of you are expecting very soon, and some of you have had your babies, so If I miss someone, please don't feel slighted.

I am in therapy twice a week to help deal with whatever the root of my anxiety is, so hopefully i won't feel like hiding under the covers anymore, LOL. The good news is I have been busier with my business that I am trying to get off the ground, so I hope to keep the momentum going there.

Hannah just got over having RSV. Her fever two nights in a row was 104.3, and her breathing was pretty shallow and her heart rate was in the 160's. I dosed her with more Ibuprophen and called the doctor. Not sure if all of you know this, but if your child is very sick with fever, you can dose Ibuprophen every six hours, with a dose of Tylenol between each dose. That really helped get her fever under control. I also put her in a tepid bath and , truthfully, that worked better than anything else. She was calm and cool after that, then she slept through the night for the first time in five days. My dh caught something like it and was really sick for about 5 days. He took three of those days off work, but he's improving too (he really is the biggest baby of the bunch!) I did some chest PT on him yesterday to help break up the junk in his lungs which helped him to sleep the night through too. Geneva only had one day when she was sick and the next day she wanted to go to school!

Valentine's day is coming up! Geneva and I made valentines for her class over the weekend. They were little bees with lollipops for heads with googly eyes and heat foam stickers for wings that said "Bee my valentine" and then the sucker stick was stuck through an oval shaped yellow and black striped piece of paper. She will probably get made fun of since they don't have those stupid Bratz dolls on them, but I don't care. We had fun making them. She made her teacher a paper flower and put it in a little heart-shaped box. Its from this book she got for her birthday on how to make these really beautiful paper flowers. Neat stuff.

Well, I hope all of you are doing better than we have been, but we are mmost certainly on the mend.
