the happy side

Jeff and I are miserably sick and have been for the last 2 days. I thought the flu was only supposed to last 24 hours?
We are a sad case over here!
Thankfully we have three little happy sparks to keep our spirits on the up side.
Yesterday I felt so awful and so guilty. My kids were so bored and sick of watching movies. I told them I would paint their faces and you would have thought I had given them their own gallon of ice-cream. They were so excited. They played so well in character for the rest of the day.
Love these little ones.

On the other side Jeff is way more sick than I am. I think he has probably lost 10 lbs. and doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon.
I have been trying to keep my mom away ( I really don't like exposing anyone to sick germs) but she has been persistant on coming over and bringing 7-UP, applesauce bananas and chicken noodle soup. Today she took the kids for a while and Jeff and I just slept the whole time.
Baby boy in the tum tum is not being super cooperative. Have you ever been completely nauseas and constantly kicked in the stomach? It's a joke. I am happy that he is doing lots of moving around in there but it sure does stir up an already upset tummy.
Being sick sure does make you appreciate your health!!!
What do you eat when you are sick? We are completely weak but can't seem to keep anything in.

I was puking last week. The only thing I could keep down was apple juice. Luckily mine was a 24 hour thing. Sorry you guys, being sick sucks!

Cute kiddos! You probably won't like my answer but I eat quesidillas and canned peaches because both are easy to come back up if they must. LOL I hope you get better soon. If it's gone on a while you might get checked out by the doctor as they do have some anti-nausea meds that you can even take while pregnant. Feel better.
