25 & Spent

I'm here for my weekly check-in...

Not much "fun" to talk about, but I'm sure you are wondering what the title means.

Well, it's not prety.

25:

the number of times the four of us have "bowed before the porcelain god" over the weekend and on Monday.

Tied for 3rd place: Josh & Keirah with 3 each
Aliyah: 8 times on Saturday
and then a lovely repeat of 2 times on Monday
Me: 9 times on Monday (nothing would stay down)


Needless to say, my weekend consisted of cleaning, laundry and all of the extra that goes along with being sick.

Spent:

Me.

For Josh and I, this is the worst flu we have ever experienced. It comes on quickly with very little warning. After about the 6th or 7th time for me, I was worried about becoming dehydrated. Dehydrated and pregnant =NO GOOD! I started drinking some water, but that didn't stay down. By that point, I was so thirsty that I determined that even if it did make me keep throwing up, I would try to get some water down. Finally after a couple more visits to the bathroom, it stayed down. My whole body hurt especially my lower back and legs. Poor Josh...he was working on cleaning and doing laundry when Aliyah began again. He said that if Keirah started throwing up again he was going to run down the streets naked and scream. Fortunately, that didn't happen.

In short, nothing really has been accomplished on our growing to-do list as we were too sick and busy keeping laundry caught up to do anything else...not to mention totally exhausted.

today, I have a headache and dizziness. I'm not sure what that is from, but ergghhh.

In more fun news, the littlest one is doing a lot of wiggling these days. We are 8 days away from the big G-Day. We have been to some nice garage sales and found a few things like brand new bottles (I wouldn't buy used), onesies, and a few outfits. Anyway, I'm off to continue sick-recovery and maybe get a thing or two done in between--we'll see.
