We spent saturday night in the ER with baby Juniper. 8 wks old and she has viral pneumonia. Scary scary, but she tested negative for rsv which is good I guess. Still, have you seen how they take newborn xrays? It is a medieval torture device for sure. So then we got home and I was sort of sniffly, not too bad. But by 4 in the morning I was curled up in a ball in the bath. Blah. It just progressed from there. By 10 I was communicating in grunts and clicks. And by eleven puking my insides out. But Juniper is still feeling awful so all she wants to do is nurse so I want to give it to her. So here I am bending over the bed with her on my breast vomiting violently into a pan. My head was exploding, coughing, sneezing, feever. Classic flu symptons. Today I am talking and walking but still not yet 50%. But you have to be when you are at home with four kids right? And have you seen what happens to the house when you are down. Why can't the other parent figure out to pick up!? I do it all day long for shit sake. Alright there it is ladies, thanks.-s

vibes for strength (and pick up skills for partner)

I hope you feel better soon.

I hope little J gets better really fast, that's scary!

I've puked over a nursing baby before. But I hope you're not having the other post-partum puke problem - PEEING while puking and nursing. At least not while you're in bed.

I also hope the magic-house-fairy comes tonight while you are soundly sleeping!

yup

Full stream ahead. Fun times. I thought it would be a little trickle. Nope. All over the place.

oh no!

I just have to share this 'cause I hope it will make you laugh - I'll never forget the day I spent home alone with L when she was a year old and still crawling. I had a violent stomach flu and she totally didn't get it, so every time I started to puke she would grab onto me and start hysterically crying. During one of these episodes I was puking into the kitchen sink so she rushed right over and pulled herself up holding onto my legs and before I knew it, she was covered in my pee - probably a full quart! Her hair and face and all her clothes, and the kitchen floor, and my pants, were all soaked. (I was also 6 months pregnant). I was so weak and tired and sick, and the whole scene was so ridiculous that I'll never forget how I laughed and cried (and shook from the fever) the whole time I changed our clothes.
