Update

I am feeling much better which is nice, I still have a cough, but its not bad.  Jakob is acting like his crazy normal 4 yr old self, which he pretty much has the whole time he has been sick.  And so far (fingers crossed) no one else is showing any symptoms of anything.  I am assuming that has to do with our frequent sanitizing of surfaces (my house has never been this 'germ free'), and the hourly hand washing/ hand sanitizing.  All I do is randomly yell out "hand sanitize" and all the kids stop what they are doing and run over and put some antibacterial on their hands and rub it in.  Ema (the 2 yr old) is pretty proficient at it, though she needs help pushing the lever down.  I have also been checking temperatures randomly throughout the day because that's what Jakob started out with.   My kids may be germaphobes in the future, but its helping us in the now :)  I have always been a bit overboard when it comes to germs but this week has probably been a lot overboard.  At least I can say I did what I could to keep the kids healthy, and if Channing gets sick, he gets sick and we deal with it.  Once we are through the next few weeks I think we will go outside and play in the mud and let the kids get as dirty as they want!

I am actually really enjoying how clean my house is, and I think the kids are too.  They seem to love running through the house without the fear of stepping on something or tripping over something.  It hasn't been that bad since I have been keeping up on it daily instead of letting it go a day or two (or 3) and it taking forever to clean and it being overwhelming.  I think I have gotten into the habit now of just constantly picking up and the kids have been too, which is a big help.  And will be an even bigger help once this baby is born. 

One week exactly until baby boy is due!!!  I am getting really excited about it all.  Everything is ready to go and I just keep thinking of little things that I can do to keep getting ready.  I think this is also what is driving my clean house, I don't want it to be a complete disaster when we have to head out to the hospital.  Now, if only we had ANY idea of this child's name.  The few that I like, Kindt doesn't and the few that Kindt likes, I don't.  Hopefully once we meet the little guy face to face, we will be able to choose a name. 

I am excited about the big milestones in the next week or so-  Channing is done with his scheduled inpatients and moves into the last phase of cancer treatment, we are adding a new baby to the mix, and the boys will be starting 4K half-day (which they are ridiculously excited about :)!! 

Life is good!!
