Day 275 of being sick. Just kidding, we’re all doing better even though it feels like this house will forever have sick people in it. Easton wasn’t feeling well at all yesterday, and today he’s just been coughing but feeling pretty good. I couldn’t get him to eat yesterday, and today he was fine with eating. That is a good thing. We watched the Adventures of TinTin last night, and afterwards I made Easton soak in a ginger bath which is supposed to help congestion and coughing. After his bath he headed straight to bed. He was so tired and worn out and I could tell he just wasn’t feeling well. Teagan took a bath after Easton and went to bed about an hour later. Jacob and I went to bed late after hanging out in our bed watching Pirates and playing pointless games on our phone. I slept better than I have for a while. I didn’t wake up coughing so much, and that’s good.
The boys didn’t get out of bed this morning until after 9 sometime. But they didn’t come into my room until 10:30. I can usually hear them wake up, but I won’t get up until they come in asking for food. Jacob stayed home from work today so that he could get feeling better. He woke up feeling pretty good, so he’ll be back to work tomorrow. We still spent this day sitting on the couch watching TV. I would love to be out of the house NOT watching TV during a lovely spring break. But with Easton still coughing and me not feeling 100% we’re taking it easy. Tomorrow I will keep the blasted TV off and maybe we’ll even go outside. Or do arts and crafts. And get out of our jammies. Anything that we haven’t been doing for the past week would be glorious. The boys’ friends were playing outside today, so we let them go stand in the yard for a bit and talk to them. That way they could get some fresh air and feel a part of the world without making their coughs flare up again.
I painted my toes today. Yes, I felt good enough to do that because my toes were looking shabby. I think I deserve a pat on the back for the wonderful job I did at 40 weeks pregnant. It took about an hour. But they look so darn cute and labor-ready. Well as cute as my feet can look. I really hate my feet with their long ugly toes. For years I wouldn’t show them, but I finally gave up on that and have learned to accept them for what they are.
I’m hoping for Friday. That gives me and my house 3 more days to get better. That’s also my due date. I would like to heal up from this sickness quickly. My sister is doing better but now has really bad morning sickness. I was so there earlier in this pregnancy when I couldn’t eat anything for 8 weeks and laid on the couch being completely unproductive. For someone who works out 2 hours a day, six days a week, Becca won’t handle laying around very well. I hope she feels better soon, and she better be at my labor.
