After spending the last couple weeks with family for holiday celebrations, we decided that a peaceful evening at home for New Year's Eve was the best thing for all of us. The boys were ready to be home for an evening where they weren't being rushed to bed without their nightly activities of shows or Wii. So, we spent the evening relaxing with the boys and playing the Wii. After they went to bed, we opted to watch a movie which actually went past midnight. Yeah - we made it past midnight!
That evening, Connor awoke in the middle of the night with the stomach flu. This lasted through Friday evening. Saturday morning, Brady woke up with the same thing and lasted most of that day. They didn't have a fever, seemed to still have their normal energy level, but nothing settled with them. That evening, around 11pm, it hit me! I had it the worst, which I can only assume was due to the pregnancy. I was sick about every 30 minutes and couldn't even keep down water. All day Sunday, I had no energy, the body aches, nausea, and ended up developing a fever. Chris joined me that day with the body aches, lack of energy and fever, but never did get the stomach part. Connor and Brady were on their own for the day - good thing they know how to be somewhat self-sufficient.
As you can guess, we spent the entire weekend at home. We did get all of our Christmas decorations down, but that was about it! That Monday, the boys all returned to work and school while I spent one more day resting and making sure this had passed. Since then, we have all been back to normal (other than the normal pregnancy stuff). We all received our flu and H1N1 shots, so I can only assume that was some mild version that we all had to suffer through. I am hopeful it is behind us (and I won't finish the rest of this statement for fear of a jinx).
