The flu bug..

So every one in our house has finally gotten the flu bug. Yuck.. Axel was the first. We were on our way to visit some friends on Saturday evening, sitting at the gas station, when Axel threw up all over the truck. Luckily we were still in town so we went back home and sure enough more throwing up! (I thought for a moment it was his first happy meal coming back up) Axel got sick 6 or 7 times that night. All I could do was hold him over the sink and keep washing his blankets. Then the next morning while I was cleaning more of his blankets Axel was crying from the steps so I went to see what was up and.... he had a CODE BROWN on the stairs!! (which are carpet!!) Gross.. So I cleaned him up again, this time straight to the bath tub and tried to get to the stairs before my super helpful dogs did the job for me! Gross again!! Then Brian got sick on Sunday and I got sick on Monday. Brian and I seem fine now but for some reason Axel threw up again today? I hope this doesn't keep going. The family that pukes together....

Axel was supposed to start his new daycare this week, but he hasn't been able to yet because he's been sick. Yes, he is starting another daycare!! Yikes we have had some issues with daycare. To make it a long story short... Brian went to pick Axel up the other day and ended up picking him up early-like 2 hours early. Well when he got to daycare there was a lady who neither of us have met before watching the kids. Then she asked Brian "what kid is yours!!" She then called our daycare lady-where ever she was and asked what kid his was.!? So needless to say we didn't really feel all that great about the situation. When I called my daycare lady about it she was very defensive and got fired because of it! How many times had this no name lady watched my kid and I knew nothing about it?! Who else was there... to many questions to go through again... So now once again we were on the search for new daycare. But we luckily found one in Cannon Falls which I think will be good. I hope!! At least in Cannon there are a lot of family that can stop by when ever they want. But I'll miss being able to go get Axel early when I get off my night shifts. It sucks that some one else has to watch my guy during the day. I wish there was a better way.

Axel is starting to get pretty verbal. Here are his words so far. "what's that"-he says this one to every thing! "Mom", "daddy", "sock", "hey"-he doesn't say Hi he says Hey-to funny. He also kinda know "Jazzy"-our dog but it's not the clearest word yet. He loves to blow kisses and wave bye-bye also. These are a little more fun then the code browns all over my house!

Oh man... I can't believe that flu bug is still going around. Brendon and I had it one night and Henry had it for 7 days! 7 days of puke for that little guy- it was not fun. It was once or twice a day... he didn't eat much or drink much and most of the time acted pretty normal, so just when you think it's done... more puke.. We did a lot of laundry that week! I hope Axel's doesn't last that long.. poor little guy. And what the F about the daycare... what kind of daycare provider does that?? That's not right and good for you for taking Axel out of there-- you should report her. I hear ya about daycare too- it sooo sucks.. wish I could work part time some day- but I know that will never happen unless we win the lotto-- I'll share if we do!! : )
