This Blows

Saturday night, we were driving home from our friends house about 45 minutes away. Kyle's stomach was hurting. About 2 miles down the freeway he asked me to pull over (I was driving because he didn't feel well) and he threw up. He never throws up. I think since I've known him he's thrown up once. My throat was starting to feel scratchy. Wonderful. He's got the flu (or food poisoning) and I have a cold. Maddox has already been fighting something. Green snot, cough, etc. We didn't sleep Saturday night because Kyle was up throwing up ever 45 minutes and I had a sore throat like none-other.

Sunday morning, we missed our Palm Sunday service because we were all miserable. I was feeling the best (except for Juliette), so I was on "carrying for everybody" duty. Sunday was the first day that Maddox actually acted sick. So that was fun. Down right exhausting in fact. Last night (Sunday), I went to bed and woke up at midnight and threw up. I threw up all night long and well into the morning.

Fun.

So, here I am, with a cold and the flu! Kyle was feeling better today, so he was on "carrying for everybody" duty. Luckily, Maddox is feeling better today. Unfortunately, I still need to nurse Juliette and I wasn't able to keep any liquids down for a long time. She seems to be getting enough to eat, though. I really wasn't wanting to have to go to the ER for an IV and I probably would have ended up there had I not stopped puking when I did.

I think I've figured out that I've thrown up this year more than I have in my entire life combined! I threw up every day for the first 3 months of my pregnancy with Juliette and then ended up with the flu when I was pregnant with her, too.

So far, Juliette hasn't picked up any of the germs and we're praying it stays that way because a fever before they're 8 weeks old is an emergency situation. Please pray for her. I've been nursing her very frequently hoping to give her all the anti-bodies I can.

Oh, that sounds so awful. I hope that you didn't get something from us?! But we ate at the same place and we are all fine... so it must be a bug. Nurse nurse nurse and she will get what she needs to stay healthy! Hope it all ends soon!
