I'm late once again, but only for a day which is actually really good for how this past week has been going! Our family has been sick since this past Saturday, it's been a form of torture to say the least, and we're still not 100% yet either.
Saturday I was taking a nap when I heard something in the bedroom, at first it sounded like a dog collar or something, but a lot closer than outside my window so I opened my eyes and J is standing there taking off his work clothes! He's usually not that quiet, so it scared the crap out of me to just see him there, especially on a day that he doesn't get off work early. I knew something was wrong! He climbed into bed saying he was freezing and his body was like a furnace, we took his temperature and he was at 103.1, so we got some tylenol into him and I figured if he didn't feel better in the morning he was going to urgent care so that the rest of us didn't get sick. Sunday morning he didn't feel any better so we took him up to Urgent Care and he got antibiotics, laid around and didn't do much the rest of the day, the girls and I were fine. Sunday night rolls around and I start coughing, slowly at first and then by the time I went to bed I couldn't stop and had to take some cough drops, I knew what was coming. I woke up in the middle of the night stuffed up, headache, feeling like crap, couldn't sleep... it came super fast, and it came hard! I was worried about getting a fever and hurting the baby so we made an appointment that morning to see my OB that afternoon. Now I'm on antibiotics and feeling like death warmed over! We're at Costco getting my prescriptions and Allison starts running a fever, throwing tantrums over nothing, and not acting like herself. Justin and I had to hold her and rock her and rub her back, she fell asleep in my arms right there in the store! She was definitely not feeling good to act like that, instead of running around and acting like a toddler like she usually does. We made an appointment for both girls with their Pediatrician for the next day, figuring Vanessa was right behind her. Loaded them up with Tylenol to cut the fever, she was up to 102.6 when we got home, Vanessa was normal. The next morning Vanessa is up over 100 with her fever, but pediatrician says it's probably viral and to give them ibuprofen as needed.
So I've been feeling like death this week, with two babies that also don't feel good and want to be held constantly, and a husband who also doesn't feel good! My house was in shambles, and it's not much better now but it'll get there. I'm not 100% yet, woke up this morning feeling like crap but got a nice nap for once and felt better when I woke up. Hoping tomorrow I'll have the strength and stomach to do the dishes finally, I think we're out of bowls and forks lol
Symptoms - Being so sick this week I haven't really been paying attention to my pregnancy symptoms, because they're all the same! No appetite, nausea, the whole drill. Probably lost weight this week the way things are going. I did start to notice the baby moving last week, and it's not always consistent but I feel it at least once or more a day which is nice.
Food cravings - No food this week, ugh...
Size of baby - My books say baby should be the size of the palm of your hand! Grow bitty grow!
