A Rough Start To A New Year

It is always so difficult to get back to work (school) after a long Christmas break. Well, this week was no exception! Justin started back on OB/GYN at the hospital, and I started back the 2nd Semester with GVA on Monday. All seemed to be going pretty smooth until Addie woke up Tuesday morning at 1:30 throwing up. She continued throwing up every half-hour until 6:30 that morning. Bless her heart - I've never seen her so sick - she was pitiful! I thought we were getting better by Wednesday night, then I got sick! (All while Justin was at the hospital on one of his 30 hour call shifts!) I tell you - it's no fun being sick, but it's really not fun when you're the mommy and all by yourself. I don't tell you this to gain sympathy for myself, but to let you know of God's goodness and grace through it all. Addie has never behaved so well; she would bring a book over to me and "read" to me or play quietly beside the couch. She would even hold my hand to help me get up. I was also blessed to get a lot of rest by the time Justin got home today. I am glad to say that we are both feeling much better now, and are praying for a better weekend! :)
