Sick Mama

Yesterday I was so sick I had to go to the hospital. I couldn't keep anything in my body so my doctor told me to go over to the maternity triage. Lou was on his way to work and all I could say was, "Help me." I was nauseous, throwing up, and had diarrhea. I think it was the flu because I later got chills, body aches, and a fever. It was no fun and I was feeling okay today until about dinner time. I ate like a bird today and tried to go out for a late dinner, but my stomach just wasn't ready for it. I'm back at home in bed again tonight. 

While in the hospital the nurse was trying to listen to baby's heart through a doppler. The baby kicked that doppler right on as soon as she started to move it around! It was pretty funny. Perhaps we have a soccer player or a kicker in the womb!

Daddy then got sick on Valentine's Day, the very next day, with the very same symptoms. It only lasted for each of us for about 24 hours and we took turns taking care of one another. Now that's love!
