The H1N1 has invaded our home!

All over the news all you hear is about the H1N1 and how dangerous it is. Well the flu has invaded my house and my two little ones were the ones that got sick. By the grace of God, to them it was like a really bad cold.
My boy got the most fever and was not given the Tamiflu because he had pass the first 48 hours with no medical care. I honestly just thought he had a cold but since the fever was not letting up we went to see the doctor. At first when he told me it was positive I was like OH NO! I tried not to freak out and stay calm.

He began to explain to me about the other family members that were at greater risk. I then began to get worried for my husband and daughter. My husband has a history of asthma and my daughter was premature. They were the ones most at risk, so my husband was put on the medicine but my daughter was not. The doctor just told me to keep and eye on her if any of the symptoms showed up. The next day we were back at the doctor because she was now the one with the fever. She was then put on the Tamiflu and is getting better.

My advice to all the moms is stay calm and get medical attention as soon as you can. Since my boy got sick over the weekend I just waited for the office to open on Monday so I kind of do feel guilty for waiting so long. So follow your motherly instinct and be alert to the signs. Again, it is very important to not freak out if someone in your household does get sick. Use lots of hand sanitizer and masks.

Autumn of Love

Life at my house has been complicated! Things here have been somewhat crazy and that's why I have been away for a while. My patience and faith have been tested.

On a different note, tomorrow is the beginning of Autumn and it is my favorite season! I love the temperature, the way the trees look in all their splendid colors, having fun apple picking with my kids, and knowing that God has created this beautiful season just for me.

All my children, I mean just my two oldest have been born on this season. My baby girl was supposed to be born in late October but she was premature. As you can see, fall has a special place in my heart. Also, my husband and I began our friendship during this time and is still going strong!

Where is my DNA?

It has been a crazy few weeks trying to adjust to the new schedule. School has started and homework battles began. I'm wishing that my studious Gene has been inherited to my child and that is just dormant. I feel like the little sucker just laughs at me every time I get upset about the homework. I want to shake my kids brain and make that little monster come out and apologize for all the grief it has caused!
