The flu has come.......and gone........!

Well, the flu has made a slight round at my house, hitting me the hardest. I awoke one morning around 3am for Mason, and felt sick. So, pretty much I was holding him (I was gonna feed him), and I really got sick. I mean really sick! Let's put it this way: It took me about 20 minutes to clean it all up.... then after I had to change my son's clothes, as I managed to get him, since I couldn't put him down fast enough. Mason had a little tiny bit of diarrhea, and Dave had a sore throat and a bit of diarrhea, but no one else puked. I found it really hard to be sick with a small baby, it was all I could do to just change a diaper. I felt so weak, and ran to the bathroom all the time. It really wasn't fun at all.
But now it is gone......we are just enjoying going to our mother's/baby groups on Wednesday and Fridays. The Wednesday group is more of a learning type thing. We learn about childhood illnesses, oral care, anything relating to babies. Friday group is more of a 'fun' thing. Mom's getting together and chatting, and occasionally we have a guest speaker....I really enjoy it.
Other than that, we don't do much. We go to the stores or mall, just to get some walking done.....(Can't wait for spring!) When the warmer weather hits, look for me at the nearest park with Mason in stroller!
I am looking forward to having Mason baptised soon. Feb and March are out because Dave's mom is gone those times, and March my dad and stepmom are going to Vegas. So it'll most likely be April or May.....not as soon as I had wanted, but what can ya do?
We got Mason a new car seat, as he is soon going to outgrow his 'bucket' infant seat. I had put him into it, and then discovered when he falls asleep, his head falls forward. So back to the 'bucket' seat until his head/neck control is better.
Anyhow, that's pretty much it for now. I have to go and 'unstuff' my son's nose. Poor little guy! He's so stuffy from this stupid, dry air. He's snoring as he sleeps at this moment, it's kinda cute!

I am *sooooo* sorry! Ugh, that must have been TERRIBLE! You sounded *awfully* sick! :( Well, at least it's OVER and DONE with. Sharla, I am *so* sorry that I'm incredibly behind on e-mails. I look forward to sitting down and responding to you soon. You must think that I'm such a horrible correspondent! I hope that you three are doing just great. (((hugs)))
