I was looking forward to getting back to blogging after the new year and finally being able to announce that we are EXPECTING! The beginning of this year has been rough in the ol' Guy household so far though.
Graham found out he had strep on the 31st and was sent home for a few days with antibiotics. He spent 3 days at home and the symptoms just never seemed to ease up at all. I was home on the 1st and his throat had gotten to the point that it was so swollen he couldn't swallow water, so I decided to take him to the ER. The physician prescribed him a different round of chewable antibiotics (that would be easier to swallow), as well as shots for an antibiotic and steroids. Over night he finally got some relief and was starting to feel better. He had to go back to the ER for a follow-up appointment and although he could see the light at the end of the tunnel, the dr said it wasn't going away fast enough, so he prescribed him another steroid - this time in liquid form. After a couple of days, which ended up putting him at home for a full week, he finally started to feel like he was getting back to normal. My poor hubby; I'd never seen him so sick in my life.
During his sickness, I kept my distance which included me sleeping in the spare bedroom (soon-to-be nursery) on the futon to keep from catching it as well. About half of the guys at work had been passing around a bad head/chest cold that I was unable to run from for very long. I started getting a burning sensation in my throat that sunday, the 5th and I stayed home Monday so that I could go to the dr. Long story short - since I had such a high fever I was tested for strep and flu, but luckily they were both negative. I was home for a couple days before returning to work. It took me a good week to finally feel back to normal.
Saturday morning I hosted my first Scentsy Open House and I ended up having a really great time. I had drawings for a free bar and $25 gift certificate, as well as snacks and drinks for my guests. I didn't have a huge number turn out, but I did gain a couple more customers which makes me excited to do it again next month. Hey, whatever it takes to make a little extra money for diapers and daycare!
On another note, anyone have any ideas as to what kind of curtains I could put up in this sun room? Those seen in the picture above were left by the sweet previous owners, but it just makes the room look so blah! I really would like to use sheer fabric, to let as much light in as possible, but those ugly curtains have got to go! End rant. =)
Have a great day y'all!
