Ahhh... Feeling Groovy

Woohoo! I finished by antibiotic! The entire month of February I've been very sick. It started with a reasonably bad sinus infection the week that the power went out. Then there were two days that I felt fine before suddenly coming down with the flu. I went through the dosing of Tamiflu and felt better for all of maybe one afternoon before I realized I was ill again and went back to the doctor. That was the beginning of strep throat, ear infection, and upper respiratory infection. So anyway, yesterday I just finished my antibiotic and for the first time in a month I'm feeling great! The only thing I've missed out on is a stomach bug.

I'll go back to the ob doctor next week and I'll double check, but I think Sam will be born on May 14th. That puts it at only 11 weeks away! I'm so thankful to my parents who are helping me prepare - last night they were at my house until late into the night helping me put up shelving in the kids' closets. So since earlier in the week mom helped me organize the other closets, by the end of this weekend every closet in my house will be in order! That may not thrill everyone's heart like it does mine, but it means alot to me.

The living room in my house is beginning to look like a nursery. Sam doesn't have a room to himself, so with the exception of the bassinet next to my bed I've set up all the gear in one end of the living room. The only thing missing is my glider, which is ordered and may be in this weekend. So everything is coming together! I think we've settled on a full name: Samuel Paul James Cole. I'm not a huge fan of the name Paul, but I suppose Frank does get a say somewhere, :). I liked Peter or Edward better. James comes from Papa. One of Frank's brothers' official name is James too but he doesn't use it. So there you are. We were so undecided I was beginning to think he would be born with just one name.

Last night Frank and Alex went to a Pink Floyd Experience concert and they had a great time. It's not Pink Floyd itself, but a tribute group. Today mom and dad are taking the kids for a day trip to Nashville, so they should have fun doing that also. I don't have any pictures to upload, since I've been in pretty much a zombie state for the past month. But I promise I'll get back into that soon.
