We're the sick house!

So, I haven't written in a while.. forgive me.. we've had two kids sick, not at the same time, and a birthday party going on. First Carter got sick. High fevers, no other symptoms that I knew of.. for 3/4 days. The day he finally is totally normal again, his birthday party day, Madison wakes up saying her throat hurts. On the way to pick up the birthday cake she throws up in the van... and cries because she got it on her new outfit. (what a girl!) We make it home, cake in tow, and ppl start showing up for the party... meanwhile my poor baby girl is laying in my bed, feverish, throwing up occasionally, but mostly sleeping. (this was Saturday) Today, Sunday she wakes up and runs into my room to say "Mommy, guess what! I feel better!" Great! Then I notice her entire tongue is WHITE. Do 4 year olds get thrush?! What on earth?! It has to be.... she says her throat stil hurts too. And, as the day progresses she gets this awful rash all over her body. She's gotten rashes before from having fevers, but never one like this.. from head to toe, and it itches. Ugh.. to the doctor we'll be going in the morning! Thankfully Clayton is off tomorrow so he can sit with Carter while I take her. Other than that.. things are going okay with us. The birthday party was a lot of fun and a lot of people came even though the weather was HORRIBLE! Doesn't it make you feel special when people show up at something you invite them to? It does me. :)

For anyone wondering about our journey to get baby #3... we've unfortunantely started month 6... Doctor wants to do the HSG (dye test) if it doesn't happen this month but I'm thinking no. Maybe instead I'll get hormones checked... things don't seem totally right for me so that might be the easiest thing to start with! Please, keep prayers coming our way. I need them for sure for comfort and strength through this. I feel better lately than I have since we started trying so I know that my (and everyone) prayers are being heard and answered... but some days it is so hard to remain positive and happy in spite of this.
