Grace and Andy have the flu - as in the real deal influenza that they were vaccinated against last fall. I ran into my new favorite friend Julie at Target this week and turned my back on the kids for 3.4 minutes of "hey!" (she is so wonderfully southern) and then turned back around to find Grace and Andy licking the shopping cart and laughing hysterically. Right. My "no no" could be heard from hardware to lingerie. The fever started about 48 hours after that fun game.
It has been a week. I think Scott and I got more sleep during the newborn phase but we're surviving. While a lot of the week was pretty miserable, there were some flat out adorable moments that I will forever treasure, like watching Andy and Grace taking turns "scwatching" each others back on the sofa bed. On Wednesday, Andy refused to let anyone but "Gacie" wipe his nose and she was the perfect little caregiver to him. Fevers are down considerably today and Andy attempted to scale the bookshelf again so I think he is turning the corner. I'd say that Grace has another day or two until she is back in top princess form. At any rate, it is Friday and I will be facing the next 48 hours with my team mate so I am declaring survival!
