Sick, sick, sick

River, Nya, Bea, Clementine and Henry in the tub. So adorable.

Bea and Clemmie are super sick.  I don't know when my kids were sick last.  We have had such a surprisingly healthy winter with only a few minor colds and even an entire month with no runny noses in February.  I kept expecting my kids to come home from church with runny noses, but we were healthy all month!

Nice shot of Bea's serious under bite.

Bea and Clemmie now have a stomach bug and have been throwing up and pooping everywhere for two days straight.  I have never done so much laundry in my life.  The pile looks like Mt. McKinley in our living room. Clementine is so miserable and it's so hard for me to see her usual permasmile traded for groans, tears and furrowed brows.  They both wake up several times per day and night covered in vomit or poop, crying for water and daddy, and it's taking a toll on me.  I feel so sick from all the putrid and rancid smells.  Of course it's like 30 degrees outside so I can't even crack a window to air the place out.  I thought it was supposed to be spring!

My day consists of sitting on the couch cuddling my girls and doing laundry.  Good thing I have a ton of already roasted veggies and fruit for the non sicklings to eat and plenty of water and bread for the sick girls.  I have to admit though that it's been so nice to actually snuggle with Clementine since she takes after Henry and has never put her head on my shoulder since the day she was born.  She and Henry are the least snuggly babies that have ever been born.  Also, thank heaven for weekends and for Conference weekend so I get my husband home for two days straight.  Unheard of! Please get better babies.  I miss my girls.
