Sick...and sick of being sick

I have been so sick for the last few days. This year my immune system has been hit so hard with the lack of vitamins, pregnancy, dietary restrictions, lack of sleep, and breastfeeding...I have been sick more times in the last year than in the last TEN years! Ridiculous! Anyway....with my first baby Maddie was so mellow and would quietly sit and play with toys or look at books...but not my Bella, she's a mover and a shaker! She keeps us on our toes and we wouldn't have it any other way. I love seeing the differences in my children.

However, while I was sitting on the couch EXHAUSTED and shivering with my fever ...hoping and waiting for the Tylenol to kick in...Bella got into my purse and then my wallet. She LOVES pulling things out of any sort of purse or container. At the moment I was thinking I should stop her...but I was just too exhausted to care. I did snap a photo though. At another point of my sickness she fed the puppy Kleenex out of the box...and emptied it. Again, I was too tired to even care! It did give me a chuckle though.

At one point I did get her to lay down with her beloved bunny and her "Ba-ba" for about 4 minutes.It's unusual for our little Bella to sit still, so it was definitely a Kodak moment. Conclusion: It's hard being a good mom when your sick! It gives me even more respect for my mom when I think about how hard it would be to be single, sick, and have three kids! She did it all by herself...thanks mom, love you so much.
