What happens when mama gets sick?

January 24, 2008 · 10 Comments

 I sat down Tuesday night to work on these booties:

When I suddenly got the chills. I fed Sweet Pea one last time at 11pm, hoping and praying that she would  sleep through the night- and she did! It was a good thing, because my chills turned into a full blown stomach flu bug, complete with naseau, fever, aches and pains, and I was up the rest of the night.

My husband stayed home from work to take care of Sweet Pea while I  stayed in bed all day, getting up only to feed the baby. I was so weak that I couldn’t even pick up my child to burp her. Then, miraculously last night, 24 hours after it started, it was over. Keith went back to work today and we’re doing ok now, just a little tired and needing to disinfect the house.

Maybe I should have gotten a flu shot?
