The dreaded "Harper"

Sorry that it has been so long since I have blogged, not that people have missed it I'm sure...

It has been a very long week and a half since Delaney was born! Not only have I had to deal with the normal lack of sleep with a newborn but I have also had to deal with Harper being sick and getting everyone else sick. Let me tell you more..

Starting Friday the 17Th in the morning I woke up to get Harper and found him covered in throw up and so was his bed and carpet, it really made my morning! Danny of course was on his way out the door to go to work so I had no help. Luckily my 4 day old Delaney was sleeping so I was able to get Harper up, bathed and his bedroom cleaned up of yuck. The whole day Harper continued to throw up and into Saturday. Sunday he hadn't thrown up, it was just some runny poo so I figured that he was better and decided to accept the invitation to go to my parents house for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.

This is when everything conspired, however no one new what was about to happen. Monday night Danny woke up at 1am and started his flu episode, he was the first of many to catch Harper's sickness. Next came my sisters Amanda and Shannon, then me, My parents, my other sister Erin and possibly my niece but they can't be confirmed.

So this whole week everyone has been sick, not very fun at all. As for me I got over it in a day and no I didn't throw up for all of you who know about my throwing up streak. Right now I am trying to deal with baby blues that seem to have hit pretty hard and Harper, he is driving me nuts. He is always crying for me or crying about something. He is acting out because of the baby and it is stressing Danny and I out. I knew it was going to be hard, but I already need a break from one of them and it would be Harper. So if anyone wants to take a kid for a few hours so I can take a nap or a break let me know!

And I know this is off topic but I weighed myself and I have lost 18 lbs so far. I only have 6 more pounds to lose and I will be at my pre pregnancy weight, but I am going for more than that so wish me some luck.

I'm sorry to hear that you have all been sick! That's no fun, especially with a new baby. At least Delaney didn't seem too affected by it. Hang in there. It's only been a week and a half. Harper just needs time to adjust. It's a rough time for him, not only the age thing, but now he's not the baby anymore. It WILL get better.
