What is up?

I promise I will post some pictures soon of everybody. I just have been super lazy. 

Well I am not sure what is up but my kids are all sick again. This is the third time within the last month and  a half. The reason this weirds me out is my kids almost never get sick. Before this year Porter had not had the flu in two years. Nickelle had never had the flu and obviously Bennett never had anything. It is pretty typical that Nickelle and Porter will catch a cold once but not usually more than that. So I am  concerned  that they keep getting sick. I am not sure where we keep taking them that they are coming across sick people. I am thinking it might be one of the therapy centers, but it is totally weird. Bennett looks like he may have ear infections in both ears, and all the kids sound like they may have bronchitis. On top of that Bennett has developed a very weird rash I am  concerned about. It is on his face. It looks like chicken pox, but is hopefully something else. So we are off to the doctor's once again. I made one big appointment to have all three seen at once. I really hope he won't tell us to wait it out.

To top it all off I am hitting that super tired third trimester feeling and we have not been getting much sleep lately. Nickelle could throw up and sleep through it. In fact she has before. But the boys both wake up very easily and with both of them being sick, we have been up a lot. Before I complain too much I need to add that my wonderful husband has tried his hardest to make sure I get as much sleep as possible and tries to get up before I do with the boys, and has my whole pregnancy. I also want to add because this makes him all the more amazing, but I never asked him to do this. He just does it. But lately I just feel like I am dragging and I keep falling asleep at random times. This morning I was sitting at the table going over my schedule and rescheduling things and I fell asleep sitting at the table. So here is hoping I get a nap today so I can take better care of my cute kids.

I hope we all get better soon. Bring on the antibiotics!

*UPDATE: So all three kids have strep throat. Porter and Bennett have a viral infection in their mouths which has caused sores in their mouths. Bennett also has a staff infection on his face that I am glad to say is not chicken pox (it looks just like it!). The doctor even thought for a minute that it might be chicken pox.  Luckily no ear infections. We came home with plenty of prescriptions and hope everyone is better soon.
