I've read recent posts about my friends and their kids being sick--flu, stomach viruses, etc. And I kept thinking (and even mentioned to A), "We've really had a pretty good winter. A few sniffles and coughs, but nothing bad." Well, I definitely should have knocked on wood when I said that--or just kept my mouth shut--because of course, we got sick.
T randomly had a fever last Thursday. Not a bad one. He was just really sleepy all day and took it easy. Friday he was better, but he'd periodically lie down or want me to hug him. And I discovered that a mildly sick T is not such a bad person to be around. He was really mellow and didn't yell and complain about much of anything all day. And because I told H to leave his brother alone, there weren't any wrestling matches that ended in sobbing. Not so bad.
Late Saturday night, S came into my room and told me she had thrown up. What?! Then she immediately said, "But I don't feel sick. I feel fine." Interesting. She even told me she had a dream that she had thrown up and then woke up and realized she had really done it. So weird. She was completely fine afterward, but I kept her up for a while to make sure. She watched ESPN with her dad and got excited at a big homerun on Baseball Tonight. No more symptoms whatsoever, so we wonder if she ate something that disagreed with her.
Sunday night, I started feeling extra tired (more than my normal preggo tiredness.) An hour later, I thought I might have a fever. It was low, but going up. Sunday night was awful as my fever went up and the Tylenol did little more than bring it down a little for a few hours. Monday was pretty dang horrendous. A thankfully took the boys to work for most of the day and I laid on the couch and only moved when the fever was down for a bit. When it got above 101, I called the doc office and they told me to come in. Doc concluded it was just a flu and listened to the babies' heartbeats. They're doing just fine, so that was a relief. Fever kept going up last night, but it seems to finally have broken for good. I'm tired, oh so tired, but I think I'm on the mend. I'm glad it was relatively short-lived, because flu on top of being pregnant is never a good thing.
So, this has taught me that even though we've had a relatively healthy winter, things can always go south. :)

oh no! not sick when everyone comes to play! I hope you're all well now and can get relatively well rested by the time we overrun your life.
Feel better soon so you're good for the weekend! And to keep those babies (A and N?) doing well!
I am sorry your not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon and let me know if you need anything.
I've heard that tons of stuff is still going around. We had it long enough ago that we could catch it again. I sure hope not! Let me know if we can do anything for you!
Yikes. Stay away from me, I really don't want it! Just kidding, I'll be around you anytime :)
Hope you are feeling better really soon! Enjoy all the family there...so sad I'm missing it!
So not fun. Glad you are doing better and were able to make it to book club! If you ever need to send the kids off to play they are welcome to come over. C. can hold her own with the boys!
I'm glad you're feeling better. Ther eis nothing worse than being pregnant, sick and having kids around. Good luck!
Sounds like what we got... I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't give it to you before I knew I had it. Nathan got it, but for some reason he got it after me, and was better before me. Maybe this virus is worse on 'big people.' Hope you are feeling better!!
