On the Mend

Yesterday when I woke up, I presumed what I was experiencing was a bout of morning sickness.  It was clear by breakfast that it was something much worse.  A seriously nasty case of the flu.

My amazing Mom came by and took Grace to pre-school.  One look at me and she came back to get Aidan.  Then she kept them all day.... til 7 pm.  At 10 am I paged the midwives, unable to keep down any food or liquid.  They gave me until this morning to see if things improved, otherwise it would be a hospital trip for an IV and gravol.

Babe and I spent our day between the bathroom and the couch.  Thankfully thing started to improve by mid afternoon.  Today, I'm on a day of rest.  Feeling much better, just dealing with a very achy, tired body, and a killer headache.  Slowly trying to eat food again.

I'm extremely thankful for:

• My Mom.  Who dropped all her plans to take the kids.
• For both my parents for cancelling their dinner plans so they could keep them a few hours later.
• My hubby who brought me home a smoothie and gatorade (which I'm convinced helped the improvement today).
• Again to my parents for coming over this morning and cleaning my house.  Recovery is so much easier when you dont have a home that needs recovery also.
• And amazing friends.  Who called, who texted, who offered their support. 

The house is quiet right now.  Aidan is attempting a nap, and my Dad has taken Grace to dance.  Nate should be home from work in a few hours.  I'm off to rest some more.
