Our Journey!: 3 weeks ALREADY?

Really... where does the time go? Where ever it goes, it goes way to fast.
We have enjoyed our very quick three weeks with our new tiny family member. Sawyer is growing like a weed and changing faster than he can grow.

Okay... like recovering from child birth isn't enough. This family has been put to the test. Before we left the hospital I had two shots, the whooping cough vaccination and an MMR shot (because my levels where low for some reason.) Side effects? Yes, I got most of them making me very achy (headaches included with that ache,) tired, and weak. In those same days, Ely came home from school with the belly flu which landed him three days out of school. Sawyer displayed some scary symptoms took so we made a trip to the doctor. Finally, both boys feeling better and (of course) my throat, head, and chest began to hurt. Sure enough I came down with some crazy virus that caused an icky cough. Then Sawyer began to cough and to have some nasty mucus. In the mean time, there goes Philly to the couch with the belly flu. Back on his feet rather quickly and back to work, we all had one weekend pain free!

Come Monday morning I came down with the belly flu. It is NOT easy to take care of yourself when your sick. Put a newborn on top of it and that's just not fair. So here we are at Thursday and guess what?? Ely is home with horrible symptoms again. So with all of this illness and a new baby to care for we are all in need of some R&R.

We have not failed to enjoy every single precious moment though. Here are some clips from our first three weeks together.
