Yuck

Today I jumpstarted my summer weight loss regime had the worst stomach bug I think I’ve ever had. I spent half the morning puking then the rest of the afternoon dry heaving. I couldn’t get out of bed - literally. I had to crawl to and from the bathroom. I had a fever. Everything hurt, even my skin!  I am not joking when I say I’d rather repeat Colin’s labor and birth than repeat that sickness - it was WORSE than labor!

Chris spent the entire day taking care of the kids - from their wake up until dinner. By evening, I started feeling a little better and was able to hold down a few crackers and some water. But I still didn’t even feel comfortable holding the children I was so weak. He is so awesome! Today wasn’t an “easy” day, either - Delaney didn’t nap and Colin took a long time to go to sleep. Chris put Colin down in Delaney’s room since I was sleeping/puking in our room. That wasn’t exactly easy for Mr. Non-Adaptable.

Now I’m sure you will be on the edge of your seat, waiting for the whiny post about my husband and BOTH my kids being sick…at the same time…excellent. At least I will be better, and probably a few pounds lighter, to boot!

    At least at the end of labour you have something awesome to show for it. I would much rather give birth again than have a stomach bug and vomit for 8 hours.

    ((hugs))

    Crossing fingers that the kids don’t get it.

    Sorry you’re sick! Where do you think you picked up a virus from? Yuck! UGH! Just when you think cold and flu season is over…
