Just a hello

It has been such a long while since my last post. Things are crazy busy as usual. Neil got sick recently and he is on antibiotics. Him being sick really puts a damper on my days and brings me down like nothing else. His voice changed because of the sickness and for a while he sounded like he hit puberty. And the coughs... oh my word the coughs. Hearing them almost did me in. I tried to keep him off the antibiotics, nut the infection was not going away. He started getting lethargic and it was so different from the happy active baby that we see every day. He is mending and on his way to getting better. Except that I got sick taking care of him. It is not even 9 pm and I have no energy.

He was up almost till 4 am on Saturday. I got up at 8 am and then cooked, went shopping and was sick and dead tired by the time I was back. I was planning on going for a Bible conference, but instead I slept like a baby till 9 pm. I guess I needed the sleep as it was that or church Sunday morning. I am still sick and exhausted.

I am doing well on most of my resolutions except for the one about walking every day. Then again, the weather here has not really been conducive to walking. It has been crazy and I have not been doing any exercise either. My stomach is not a thing of beauty and certainly not a joy forever, but I need to get disciplined if that has to change.

Is there any pill or something I can take for my energy levels? Don't know if I mentioned, but I am really low on energy.

I am sure there were other things I wanted to write down, but I can't think of a thing. But I wanted to say hello to my 2 readers out there. Oh, and how can I post without at least one cute picture of the little one?



Now I will do everyone a favor and go to sleep. I don't want to be whiny on the blog, so I was almost not going to say it, but I really have no energy.

If you're that tired, you should really just give into it - your body is telling you to sleep because you need it! Otherwise, green tea? Hope it gets better :) Such inquisitive eyes, too!

I hope you get some energy back soon and start to feeling better. Never fun being sick and trying to take care of everybody else. *HUG*

It's so hard when they're sick! Hang in there! Hope you're feeling better really soon. I don't have any miracle energy booster, but I'm confident what you're feeling is normal taking into account sick baby and then being sick yourself. Once you're both feeling better, you'll bounce back. :)

Boo, you have readers. We are just too lazy to get off of feedreaders and facebook. ;)

Take care of yourself and precious little Neil, too!

Neil is darling! I hope y'all are feeling better soon. We've been sick around here too.

Have you had a metabolic panel done and your iron levels checked since your pregnancy? The reason I ask is pregnancy and nursing both have the potential to cause such health issues and will result in you being exhausted all of the time. My iron was low after I had Sarah but I didn't realize this as I thought being exhausted was just part of motherhood. If you're not feeling better soon, you may want to consider a doctors appt to see if anything odd may be happening. None of these health issues are difficult to treat and make a world of difference in energy levels once treatment has begun.
