I do not feel well.
Despite having the baby in my arms and out of my tummy--that's all good. The itching is gone. My exhaustion, nearly gone--at least for a while.
But, I got strep throat this week. Yay me! My friend Misty brought me the remedy for strep, since it was her fault I was exposed to the darn virus in the first place. Anyway, I'm feeling better this morning. Yesterday, I awoke from a nap with the feeling of cotton in the back of my throat. I took a look. Yep. Little white dots, abundant! Swollen tonsils, glands and uvula, check.
So, after the fist dose, I could eat some sherbet. I took another dose, and the white dots were nearly completely gone. Another dose this morning, and I'm feeling a bit better. We shall see how long the recovery takes.
Other than that, I am sore! I feel like someone took a Louisville Slugger to my abdomen...a few times. My right hip feels like it's out of socket, and I can barely walk without pain killers. Hmmm.....
This too shall pass. At least I have help for the rest of this week and next.
Sigh

Just catching up on the past two posts or so. We are battling strep here too. God love'ya, you sure don't need to be worrying about that at a time like this.
I hope with all that wonderful help you are able to get lots of rest. You'll need your strength after everyone has gone back to work/home.
I loved how you described each of your children's early reactions to their new sister and your state of being. Bright, sweet, sensitive children they are. You are so blessed.
