This week has been quite a week. It started on Wednesday when Alyssa started throwing up and then had diarrhea. Between Wednesday and Thursday, she had pretty much gone through all the clothes she has.(I'm so thankful for a washer and dryer in my house!!) She did quit throwing up by Friday, but the diarrhea wasn't getting any better. So Saturday we took her to the Doctor and she was put on a clear liquids diet and then Sunday, the BRAT diet. Now I thought that we were doing pretty good about not gettin her too attatched to her bottle, but apparently weening her from it isn't going to be as easy as I thought. She only has 3-4oz bottles a day and usually doesn't even finish the. She has them when she is going down for naps and bedtime. SO getting her to sleep anytime had been a nightmare which usually ends in a drive around the block in the car. Plus she was just so whiny, like non-stop whining anytime I was in the room.
Well to top it all off, I ended up with the flu yesterday. Thank heaven it was Sunday and Jake was home. He tended Alyssa, who pretty much slept all day, and I slep all morning. I am feeling quite a bit better today. Still tired, but at least I don't ache all over. Yesterday afternoon, Jake thought he might be getting it. I told him it wasn't his turn yet cause I still felt way lousy, but he ended up being fine and still has contracted the nastiness.But he was such good help! Thanks Honey!

Oh, Yuck! Sorry! It is an unwritten law that once you become a mom you aren't allowed to get sick - and if you do, you have to fake being well. It is the pits. I hope Jake avoids it still!
