Boo-boo bellies

We were not fortunate enough to avoid getting a stomach bug this year. It started last week with Sebastian. He woke up Tuesday night vomiting. By Wednesday morning he seemed to be doing better but ended up vomiting again later in the evening. I hoped that would be it for him but once again he woke up in the middle of the night vomiting. When Thursday rolled around he seemed to be feeling better and by Thursday night he was back to his old self.

I knew when Sebastian got sick, more than likely, this bug would make it's way through the house. I kept my fingers crossed that no one would get sick on Saturday. Mark was flying in from Florida to spend Thanksgiving week with us and I had to pick him up at the airport. I didn't want to have to worry about getting him with pukey kids along for the ride!

Luckily no one got sick again until Sunday! We had gone to the store to pick up a few things. Mark took the kids to the toy department while I went and picked up what we needed. I couldn't find everything I wanted and decided we would head over to Target. When I met up with Mark and the kids in the toy department, I told them my plan. But Eric told me he had a belly ache. He looked a bit pale and I decided it wouldn't be a good idea to do anymore shopping. I told Mark to take the kids out to the car while I paid for what I had gotten, just in case Eric got sick. Fortunately there was no vomiting in the store or car!

When we got home, Eric stayed in bed the rest of the day. He kept complaining his stomach hurt. Finally, the inevitable happened! Fortunately Eric only vomited that one time. After that he was able to get some sleep and by Monday he was feeling better.....but I wasn't!

Monday I spent the day in bed sick! I'm so glad Mark was home to take care of the kids and do the Thanksgiving grocery shopping! I luckily didn't vomit but I came close a couple times! My boo-boo bellies was affecting the other end!

And here we are, Tuesday afternoon. I'm feeling better but wondering who's next? Hopefully everyone else can avoid it. I would hate it if one of the other kids or Mark got sick over Thanksgiving. It is one of the most anticipated meals of the year and if they couldn't eat, I know they would be disappointed! I also hope Mark doesn't get sick when he has to fly back to Florida. I'm sure that would not be pleasant.

I really hope we're done with this. It hasn't been an enjoyable week and I'd really like to relax and enjoy spending time with my husband (sans vomit) before he heads back to Florida!
