In sickness and in health...

...but mostly sickness. As of the last month anyway. Our household has been passing the same damn virus back and forth over and over and over again. I am so very tired of it.

Late last week I thought to myself, wow - nobody has been sick for three whole days. It feels wonderful!! Keegan was back to his old self - funny, sweet, sleeping and eating well. I almost forgot what it was like to not have him whining 24 hours a day and waking up every 10 minutes during the night crying because he was either so stuffed up or couldn't stop coughing. Almost.

Then Sunday evening rolled around, Keegan started acting weird and when I felt his forehead sure enough, a fever! UGH. By Monday morning, he had started coughing and his nose was running like a faucet. I got him into the doctor and pleaded my case - that this was not normal. We have been sick in our house for the last month and that I just could not take it anymore. What did the doctor say? Sorry. Bad luck. Another virus. Nothing he could do. GREAT.

Now it is Wednesday and I feel like shit. I have another miserable cold, I haven't slept in three nights because when Keegan can't sleep - I can't sleep. And the poor kid, he is just as tired of being sick as DH and I are, maybe more since he can't really understand why it keeps happening.

It is times like these that I really and truly wish that we lived in a warmer climate. One in which you could just open up all your windows, air out the house and disinfect every. single. thing. Although, it probably wouldn't matter for long because the reason this god awful virus keeps infecting us is because Keegan brings it home from daycare. Where, oh where, is summer??

To top it off, our IUI is fast approaching and I am praying - really and truly praying - that DH does not get sick. I also hope I am feeling better by then but even if I'm not, we are doing it. Today is CD 9 so I have a couple days or so before it happens. I am so tired of obstacles standing in our way.

And speaking of in sickness and in health...DH and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary on Saturday. We went on a real date and everything! We went out and relaxed with a couple drinks and good, uninterupted conversation at a pub and then he took me to dinner at one of our all time favorite italian restaurants. It was just a very nice, peaceful night and I really enjoyed spending some one-on-one time with DH as they have been pretty few and far between as of late. What with all the sickness infesting our house and making us all miserable.

I start peeing on sticks tomorrow...
