Lea and I have the funk. She developed a fever a couple of hours after getting back from Trick or Treating, and has stuck with it stubbornly since. She doesn't have any other symptoms. Then last night I started feeling gross, too. No fever, thank goodness, but my lungs burn on every exhale and my sinuses are making my face feel like it weighs 100lbs. I am just praying that no fever comes. If it gets high, it's off to the hospital for Noah and I, and that is never fun.
On to better news, we got our new couch/chair set and I love them. We also had to make plans for Noah's room. European cribs are very expansive (like 500 Euro or about 750 USD depending on the exchange rate), low to the ground, small, and cheap looking. I'm not a fan. So since Lea's furniture is natural maple and about as gender neutral as it gets, we are going to get her a twin bed and a new dresser and are passing the baby furniture along to Noah. Then, of course, comes the challenge of finding a twin sized bed in a country that sells (naturally) European sizes. We were limited to one store, which thankfully had a beautiful set that was perfect (price tag aside. Ugh). It will be delivered around Christmas. I feel like I am finally getting preparations in line for when Noah comes, which is a huge relief considering I am now 30 weeks along.
On to the best news, I have a blueberry bagel waiting for me in the kitchen and I am eating it, sore throat be damned!
poo on the funk. i hope you girls feel better.
ReplyDeleteholy crap! 30 weeks already?! i wonder if he will look like Lea when she was a newborn?
Oh no! I hope you all feel better soon! I have more minutes so when you get a chance give me a call! I am glad you are getting everything you need for Noah, I can't imagine how hard that would be there. I am excited to see how Lea takes to Noah when he gets here. I have seen mixed emotions of friends children to a new sibling so I am curious to hear.
ReplyDeleteHope you both feel better soon!
Miss you
Brittney and Hannah
I think that Lea will like him and will be good with him, but will have a couple of jealousy twinges. She loves babies but has never had one taking up her attention, so we'll see. Miles is taking an entire month off of work when Noah comes and has big plans for spending time with Lea, so that should make the transition a little easier.
ReplyDelete30 weeks already? That does not even seem possible!!
