Sick with children

Being sick with a two year old and four month old is not so easy. They still expect YOU to be the one to brush their teeth, read them stories, wake up at night to feed them, make them breakfast, all while you are sweating from a fever and gagging from nausea.

Also, nursing becomes a problem. I didn't eat for two days. I tried to drink water, but that was tough. I had no milk being produced for my baby. He seemed satisfied after nursing but I don't think was getting enough calories during the day because those two days he woke up almost every two hours at night to eat...even though there was still not much milk.

I feel for women who get terrible nausea during pregnancy. I dot get it too bad and it doesn't last long. My poor sister has it THE WHOLE TIME!

Poor Kenz has had a tummy ache for two days, but no other signs so I don't know if she is sick or not.

Husbands never understand how hard it is to hold a baby while you are sick. They have never and will never be forced to do such things. But they are good at bringing ginger ale to your bedside. ;)

All that I cared about these two days is that my kids are still alive. I don't think they have left the house or had much fun or had any good meals, but they are still alive. That was my goal.

On a good note, I lost ten pounds. I've gained back three, but maybe those last seven will stay away. I'd rather feed my baby than lose weigh, though.
