A Bit Under the Weather

The last week has been torture.

First, Josh. He started feeling sick last Wednesday and was out of work Thursday and Friday.

Then, Bea. Not exactly sure what happened with her. She threw up in the middle of the night on Thursday. Then threw up again, then again. She was happy as can be, not grumpy at all. So on Friday I got her ready for daycare. Right as we were making our way to the front door she threw up again. So, she stayed home with Josh. And was happy.

Next, me. I started feeling some aches on Friday night, which then turned into a sore throat, plugged ears and achiness all over. The same thing Josh had. Still have sore throat, plugged ears and general head cold.

Finally, Olivia. She threw up on Saturday. Then threw up, and then threw up some more. Let's just say I'm not entirely sure that O was sick. I was exhausted and not feeling well, and she was cranky and ready for a nap. I popped her in her swing, where she swung for a very long time. Motion sickness? It's a possibility, for exhausted mommy did not turn off the swing once she fell asleep. Still, it was at moderate speed and swinging furiously through the air. I still feel horrible.

It's been a trying week for us all. I'm still not feeling well. It appears everyone else is feeling better now, which is nice. In times like these, I tell myself over and over again that it is only temporary. And, seriously, this round of Bea puke was bearable...maybe because we've just gotten used to it. The best present ever? A month of no sickness in our house. Well, that would just be the best gift EVER.
