Very, Very Sick

by

Turns out mothers of newborns aren’t exempt from the stomach flu. It took over my body sometime in the 9 o’clock hour on Tuesday night (and you all know what that entails!) and I am just now feeling somewhat human again.

My MIL has taken excellent care of me – providing ginger ale, noodle soup and cream of wheat when requested and washing bottles so I can (thankfully!) continue to pump.

I hope to be back in the land of the living by tomorrow and also hope everyone else is feeling well.

  9. Oh, get well soon! I had that when Natalie was just a couple weeks old. It was awful. Mr. Serious had to stay home with me because I could barely pick her up I was so weak.

  10. rest as much as you can, glad help is there! When it rains it pours I guess…..let’s hope this passes quickly so you can get some energy back.

  12. Aww Elaine! I am sooo sorry! If it makes you feel any better, I have gotten the stomach flu BOTH times I’ve had babies, within a week of coming home. Soo… Come January, I am sure I will be doing it again. ah!

    Feel well soon!

  14. Oh Elaine! That is miserable. I am so sorry. You didn’t deserve that at all. I’m glad MIL took great care of you and that you’re on the mend. Hope everyone else escaped it???

    Get some rest!

  16. Ugh, I hope you are feeling better. I can’t believe you have the stomach flu and are pumping. I got a nasty cold two weeks after Troy was born, actually he did too. It was terrible. He would only sleep with me holding him.

    Hang in there.

  22. Sickness sucks. For real. I’m so sorry you had to deal with a stomach bug so soon after having your girl. Oh, my. I remember having food poisoning when BJ was a newborn, and it was NO fun.

    Glad you’re all better now.
