I LOVE Friday the 13th! Some people hate it and say it brings bad luck, but for me the opposite is true. They have always been great days for me. And this one has been no exception.
M was sick with a really awful bug this week. It started on Sunday and drug out until Wednesday. By then he was really tired and weak but able to go back to work. However, yesterday the bug hit again and this time it was our little girls.
It started with L puking all over me right after a large breakfast. Then she and K started having diarrhea which didn't stop all day. I was changing diapers and wiping bums about every 30-45 minutes. Ah, the rewards of parenthood:)
L was supposed to have her 1 year check up yesterday, so I called the Doctor to see if we should cancel and to find out what to do for these poor girls. They recommended Pedialight and light, soft meals easy on the stomach. By dinner K was seeming to feel better and hadn't been to the bathroom for a couple of hours. So we fed her some Mac n' Cheese, thinking it would be good for her tummy.
We kept her near the kitchen so if she got sick it wouldn't be on the carpet. She was horsing around and looking like she was fine, so 2 hours later we decided to set her up in front of a Caillou movie to watch. We set it up in the playroom so she could sit in her chair. About 10 minutes later we heard a weird noise coming from the playroom. M went to check on K and he said she was sitting in her chair, eyes glued to the movie screen, hands under her mouth, PUKING! Can you believe she was just sitting there throwing up and not flinching? Just goes to show that TV really does make you catatonic. So we got to clean up the mess and kept her up for a little while longer to make sure she was okay.
Now, I am sure that by now many of you are thinking, "What does all this have to do with Friday the 13th?" Well, this morning the girls awoke refreshed and symptom free. There has been no diarrhea, no vomiting, both are eating well, and they seem fine. Much nicer than the 3 days of sickness that M had. Now I just have to hope that I don't come down with it tomorrow:)
HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH, EVERYONE!!

Must be the week of sick. We've had some here too. Although, no throw up. You might enjoy this barf training video if you haven't seen it before. (The parents are LDS)

Glad to hear your all doing better. We've haven't had that bug, just getting rid of a cough that the girls had that seemed to drag on forever. But it's almost all gone now.
