VIRUS ATTACKS

Well it all started last Tuesday when Thomas woke up about 9:30 and had thrown up all in his bed and all on himself. Of course we gave him a bath and cleaned up his crib just for it to happen again. He threw up a total of three times. Then he had diarrhea for the next 4-5days.

So fastforward to Saturday night. The Virus attacks me at 1:00 in the morning and last until 1:00p.m on Sunday. I'm telling you I have never been so sick in my life. I could say easily over 20 times did I vomit and not only did I vomit, but had diarrhea at the same time. So you can imagine what I must of looked like a 9month prego sitting on the pot holding a trash can up to my face.

Anyway, I tried to keep hydrated by sipping Sprite, Coke, sucking on ice, or Popsicles. It didn't matter I would throw it right back up. To put it mildly I felt like death. So one of my friends who is a doctor (shout out to Beth) came over on Sunday and brought with her some meds, some groceries, and some doctorly advice. She said I should call my doctor b/c I might need to go to the hospital to get some IV fluids since dehydration can cause you to start contracting. At this point my lips were cracked and I was becoming dizzy. So I called and they prescribed me some anti-nausea medicine suppositories (just lovely...huh). And said if that didn't work then go the to ER. Luckily this medicine stopped me from further vomiting episodes and knocked me out for like four hours straight. I have to take it every four hours so I took some more and went straight to bed.

So today has been better, but I'm totally exhausted. Which isn't an option when you have a toddler to take care of. So we made it through the day and I went to my doctor's appt this afternoon. The update is 2cm dilated and 60% effaced (I know that info is why most of you are reading the blog so I waited till the end to post it). I had lost 4lbs from the weekend virus. Which I know most women in general would love to lose 4lbs in a weekend, and I'm telling you I would of rather gained 8lbs then go through that.

I came home to find Matt in the guest bed, pale as a ghost, and it looks like the Virus has attacked him. Luckily, we already have meds that I gave him and sent him back to bed. Please pray that we are all in good health by the time I deliver this baby!
