House of feeling ill

While most of the region was enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend, those in my house were alternating between chills, hot flashes and all-out crying (last one was from Nathaniel, first two were not).

Amanda and I were sick all weekend. We alternated fevers with (after some medicine) suddenly feeling very hot because we were wearing sweatshirts in 80-degree temps. Achy joints and painful throats didn't add to the fun.

Then there was Nathaniel ... who has been a trooper through previous teeth eruptions. The latest, though, are some bigger teeth along the right side of his jaw -- premolars, are they? Whatever, it really looks like his gums just ruptured and these giant things are pushing through. It looks shockingly painful, and it explains his refusal to eat more solid foods and his difficulty in sleeping through the night.

All in all, it was not a fun weekend at the ol' homestead. I think we're all still exhausted ... and not out of the woods regarding sickness and teething. Yay.
