We're Alive

So, I certainly have not been the best poster lately. I have spent my days laying down in bed letting the house get messy, letting the laundry pile up and letting Ryan watch way too much TV. Yeah, it hasn't been great, but we're getting through this one day at a time. I woke up this morning and actually didn't feel completely miserable. We ended up going to the Zoo with Kara and Nikki. The kids were so good and after we were done at the zoo we went to get some lunch. I ate a whole sandwich. I was so proud of myself, and the best part was I didn't throw it up right after I ate it. Woo Hoo.

I really need to post about the most amazing person, however. Eric Jones is the most wonderful person on the planet!!! I am in bed when he goes to work, and often go back to bed as soon as he gets home. He works 4 10 hour days and then comes home and takes care of Ryan, dishes, dinner and me. He had his 30th birthday last week, and I ended up in bed the whole time. The thing about Eric is, he doesn't complain. He will, instead, thank me for going through this to bring our kids into the world. He cleans up my vomit bucket, every time I'm done (sorry if that's too much info). He gets up with Ryan in the middle of the night. Ryan had the flu on Monday night and Eric pretty much took care of him because I couldn't do much. If I ask him to go to the store to get something, he always does and never seems put out. I don't think I could go through this without him and I thank my lucky stars every day that he is in my life. I don't think anybody else could deal with me, and he does it in stride. He is a trooper, and I owe him so big time for his birthday!! I love you babe!!!!!!!!

Aww, this is so sweet. Eric is a catch, that is sure! It's almost as hard on the husbands as it is on the mothers when we get super sick, huh? Anyway, I'm so glad he takes good care of you! I hope you start to feel better soon!
