Away from computer

Let me fill in some brief updates from the last couple weeks. I have not had any computer time.

Sick, sick and sick:
Brian and I had a horrible GI virus that we think the kids had as well. We felt horrible for a couple days there until we truly liquidated all of our assets. I told Brian I think I am one GI issue away from my pre-baby weight.

Once we were all feeling better Amata came down with a high fever and the croup. We are not sure if it had any relationship to the h1n1 shot she received the day before, but it was bad. When I took her to the doctor she was feeling pretty bad and gasping for air. The doctors decided to send her to the hospital in an ambulance. It was pretty dramatic. After some oxygen, epi and an oral steroid she was observed for a bit and released just in the nick of time because Felix was getting quite hungry after 6 hours with Brian and Dom. She still has a cough, but no more gasping.

A home of our own:
We closed on our house yesterday. What a relief after seven months of waiting. Even at the closing the selling bank did not have all the paperwork signed. It wasn't until later that evening when we finally heard from our realtor that it was complete. Today I hung some pictures and cleared out our storage once and for all. In celebration I bought Brian a present: The first book in the Twilight series. Yes, I am aware that my husband is not a teenage girl, but nor is he a tween and that did not stop him from loving the entire Harry Potter series. I think I will be reading this as well. Looking forward to seeing the movies too. I am sure to be a fan, given my maturity level and up until 2 episodes ago I was quite the fan of Gossip Girl.

Okay, Felix is screaming and I need to get that boy to sleep. I am sure I have more to say, but that is all the time I have. Bummer.
