The Daily Hailey

Something crazy is happening. Everyone is napping. 😮 #nappening

Dekker is at school, Laela bawled through lunch and asked for a nap, Rowan always naps now, and so does Solly. Sooooo my house is quiet.

Not all the way quiet. I have my third load of laundry going, and my second load of dishes as well. So there is a bit of a hum, but a very nice, quiet, productive hum. It makes me feel good. Like I’ve been able to get off of the couch and done a few things. I haven’t pushed it either. I’m giving myself lots of room here, because I know thats what I should do. And I feel ok 🙂 Ok enough to do some dishes and laundry, anyway!

Now that my body has calmed down a bit since yesterday, I can focus a bit better on the rest of my life, and my poor kids have just been going through the mill once again! Laela has an awful cold. She’s non-stop coughing, wiping her nose, and can’t open her eyes fully. Rowan, on the other hand, is still quite chipper and seems to be in far better emotional shape, with just a runny nose on his rap sheet. Dekker went to school this morning with a cold, but being that he was in a happy mood this morning, and is capable of wiping his own nose and coughing into his elbow, I figured he would be fine. And Solly! Solly hasn’t fevered since yesterday, thank goodness. His biggest thing right now is teething. He’s skipped his top middle teeth and has popped the one beside where they will be, being that right second (lateral) incisor. Of course, from what I can see, the next one about the surface is his left central incisor on the top. So he’s going to have some funny gaps for a while, which I’m very much looking forward to. 😃

On top of the kids being sick, Brady is also feeling it, and pretty significantly. His work ethic is far too powerful for him to take a sick day, so he’s toughing his days out, but he spends his time at home headachy, with a kleenex shoved up one nostril. I’m not sick, which I couldn’t be more thankful for! I feel like its on the horizon, though, so if you’re still praying for us, please do pray for our general health! This would be a round of sickness I would dearly love to skip out on!

With everyone sleeping, and a few tasks accomplished, I’m going to end this blog by getting some snacks and watching a bit of YouTube. And if I can, I’d like to ask you all a question. I wrote a post back after my first prenatal in Theo’s pregnancy. It was such a positive experience for me, and I wrote it that day so it would be fresh and I could really convey my excitement for the time ahead. Now that the pregnancy isn’t going forward, I’m sad at the thought of just deleting it. I’m thinking I’d like to post it anyway. Objections? Interest? I’d love feedback 🙂

Have a great afternoon!
