It started Friday afternoon when she woke up from her nap. She told me her belly hurt, and continued to say it consistently for the rest of the afternoon. Then she got sick at the dinner table, 10 minutes before I was supposed to leave the house to go out for a girls' night. (I told her she had good timing though, better then if I had just arrived and needed to turn around and go home.)
She spent the rest of the weekend alternating between seeming fine (we had company come over Saturday for a Christmas celebration and although she acted more subdued than normal you wouldn't know she had a stomach bug) and seeming very sick. Yesterday was the worst day, with her just lying on the couch dozing off and on all day. It was so sad to see.
The last time she got sick was at 12:30 this morning, and i'm crossing my fingers that that was the end of it! She seems better this morning and is asking to eat and leave the house so I'm taking that as a sign that she's on the road to recovery.
This is definitely a good lesson in Motherhood...you need to be flexible because the only certainty with kids is that things are never certain. We're still doing our best to enjoy the Christmas season and I know we'll be back on track soon. In the meantime we've been watching lots of Christmas movies and reading Christmas books to hold onto some of our Christmas spirit. And as soon as she is 100% better I'll be back reporting on how we celebrate the holiday season all month long!

Poor baby!! Hope she feels better today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! She was really whiny today, which is usually the sign that she's feeling better ;)
DeleteI am slowly learning that my best laid plans will always be shot to pieces by some unforseen circumstance... :) I hope she is on the mend and no one else in the hosue gets it!
ReplyDeleteYes, that does seem to be the case! And thanks...i'm crossing my fingers that we all don't catch it.
DeleteThe poor thing! I'm lucky my kids prefer my husband when they are sick. Last week my daughter threw up in our new car.
ReplyDeleteOh no...in your new car? That's awful! She only wanted Mommy during her sickness, which I have to say was kind of nice :)
DeleteAwwww, I hope she feels better soon!
ReplyDeletePoor gal. Glad to hear she is on the mend! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, she definitely is. Another day and she should be 100%! :)
DeleteOH NO! That's been going around. Glad to hear she is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteIt's the worst! I hate stomach bugs, i'll take a cold any day.
