2013 will go down as the Winter of Illness for our family. Shortly after returning from Virginia Jilly got a cold. It turned into a nasty double ear infection which left us with a miserable little girl. Bryan and I both caught the cold from Jillian. Then, before even finishing her antibiotics Jilly came down with the stomach flu. And that was just as fun as you can imagine. A few days later Bryan had his turn with the stomach flu. We were all healthy and happy for a week then Jilly and I got colds again. In addition to her cold Jilly got a crazy yucky rash all over her face (that has lasted for days) and another ear infection. Today we got her an antibiotic that will hopefully clear up the rash and help her ear feel better. And now Bryan now is sick with a cold.
I realize that life could be much, much worse. We obviously haven't had any life-threatening illnesses. And, I would much prefer that we get all the germs out of the way now before baby sis comes. Also, can we talk about the amazing miracle that I never got the stomach flu despite being literally surrounded by it? I know many people who have had it worse than us this winter. However, this has been A LOT of sickness in one month for our generally healthy little family. And we are so, so tired of being cooped up at home! So, please Spring come as quickly as you can, and bring lots of healthy vibes for our family.

Amen to the Winter of Illness! I feel like we have just gone from one to the next for the past 2 months! And with 4 people in our family, someone has been sick pretty much at all times. Spring can't come fast enough!
Yuck!! You guys have been very sick- I'm so sorry to hear!! Such a bummer when nobody is feeling well, especially the little ones! Hopefully you'll be good once and for all!
We are so sorry!!! You guys have definitely had more than your share of being sick and we feel awful we kept that horrible train rolling!
