SICK

The day we moved to Texas Nixon woke up with croup in the middle of the night. The first week we were in Texas Nixon AND Addie had a cold. I was obviously sad for Nixon, but Addie just seemed so little to be sick and I absolutely hated it! She had the worse cough that would really freak me out. I was so glad that my mom was here with us for the worst of it. A couple of weeks later Nixon got croup AGAIN! Not sure why, but that kid and croup go hand in hand. Then this past week Nixon had a pretty high fever for a couples days and would complain about his mouth hurting a lot. He would just lay on the couch all day watching tv and wasn't interested in doing anything else. When he prayed at night he would ask that he could feel better so he could go swimming! :(  While Nixon was sick something was up with Addie, and is STILL up with Addie. That girl has been the worse sleeper since we moved here. Right now she has a runny nose, she will still occasionally cough (especially when she is asleep), she poops every 30 minutes, and to make matters worse she has a huge rash on her bum that is so bad it bleeds! She is absolutely miserable and she will let you know with the loudest scream possible. She is going in for her 4 month check so we are going to ask about her bum (people I have talked to think it is an infection since the diaper creams aren't cuttin' it) Needless to say, life in our house has been pretty exhausting. It will be nice to finally have things settled down and have BOTH kids happy at the same time and stay happy!!
