Sleeping Through the Night!

JACK IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!! I am so happy, and with us not feeling well right now it is a true blessing. He has been going to bed at around 8:30PM and wakes up at 5:00AM to be nursed. Still not walking yet, little turkey. We are hoping by Christmas. He takes up to three steps, falls down and laughs in hysteria. Silly guy. As for big sister Marley she's been working on her loose tooth, hoping it comes out soon. We are having to remind her that Santa's elves are watching...as she's getting into mischief. Marley mischeivous?? I swear at times I think she is still two years old. lol The things she gets into...

We all have strep =P

It all started before Thanksgiving...I had a terrible sore throat but didn't want to admit it was strep. On Friday Josh started complaining of a sore throat...by Sunday he was down for the count, literally. I couldn't believe how sick he was. I have never seen him like that. I urged him to go into the doctor. He finally did, and came home with antibiotics, but said he was negative for strep throat, but they thought he had mono or tonsillitis. I still had a sore throat and thought I should get it checked out too, so I too went to the doctor. Negative strep and mono tests but had a fever. They said I had nothing more than a virus. Tuesday afternoon they called me telling me that Josh was infact positive for strep (they sent cultures to the lab for the both of us) and I was negative. Meanwhile I was at the pediatrician's office with Marley who was sent home from school for a sore throat. She too had strep. I asked for another test for me, after begging they finally decided to swab me again with other people in the house with strep throat, and guess what, I was positive, no shock there. I just wish I was able to get on antibiotics sooner instead of waisting days sick at home. 10 days of a fever is no fun. We are all on the mend, Josh is back to work, Marley and I are still resting, eating chicken soup,drinking tea and snuggling. I just wish I could spend my vacation time with my whole family having fun! Guess that's just life. =)
