Happy Anniversary to Us!

Late Sunday night we were awaken by a very sick little girl...isn't that how it always happens? At night? and right after a doctor's appointment?! So I spent the rest of Sunday night looking after her, holding a bag, wiping her face down...its really so pitiful when little one's are sick! I think I finally crawled back in bed about 5:00 am Monday morning. Needless to say I wasn't going to make it into work that day.

Well 7:00 rolls around and Ava has made a miraculous recovery. It was really something else. If my sleep deprived self hadn't said otherwise, along with the sheets and towels, I would have thought I dreamed the entire ordeal up. I on the other hand woke up with excruciating pain, nausea, fever, and just plain blah-ness.

Adam offered to stay home, but I figured Ava really wouldn't be feeling that spunky after a night like we had just been through, so I sent him on... Big Mistake! I ended up being miserable and couldn't move. I stayed in bed, other than the occasional dash to the bathroom, the entire morning. When I finally mustered up the strength to move into the living room around lunch time I thought I was going to pass out before I could make it.

Ya'll I am never this sick, when I get sick, its the kind that is like, yeah, I'm sick, but life goes on and I have to go with it. This was worse than I have ever been- ever! (And this is coming from someone who was sick her entire pregnancy, every morning, like clockwork, I would wake up, throw up, and go on about my day. 9 months of that, and this was still worse, by a long shot!).

When Adam finally came home I just laid there and moaned from pain and pure ickyness . I was grateful to have some help with Ava who never seemed better! This continued into Tuesday and we contemplated going to the emergency room. It would get so bad that I ended up laying on the bathroom floor trying to get some sort of relief. I actually had a meeting scheduled for Tuesday that we moved to Wednesday, but when I wasn't feeling much better by Wednesday morning, I made the guys promise to get the meeting finished quick so I could go back home. I sat at the opposite room of everyone to try and avoid getting everyone sick!

By the time I started feeling better I had gone 4 and a half days without food (or the ability to keep it down) so naturally I was very weak and had absolutely no energy!

Thursday, September 20th, was our 9th wedding anniversary and I spent it feeling a tad better than I had the 3 previous days. We decided to postpone any form of celebration until I was feeling better.

I was feeling much better by the weekend, so Saturday, Adam and I set out for a date. We decided to go to Seasons 52. Neither of us had eaten there and so we thought we would try it. They ended up setting us in a cozy corner and we enjoyed eating our meal together without being interrupted because someone had to go potty or constantly telling someone they needed to sit down, Oh and I can't even begin to tell you about the glorious conversation we were able to have!! ;)



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a nice evening, we picked Ava up and headed back home. I still wasn't back to full speed, and that was really the first non-bland meal I had eaten all week, so I didn't overdo it. Sunday morning we woke up to go to church and Adam had apparently caught whatever it was that I had and we ended up staying home with him sleeping all day.

Apparently my child has a bad case of the Mondays, because she started throwing up late Sunday evening and all night (again) on Sunday night. I've labeled her sickness Monday-Aversionitis! That was the last time we have all been sick, so hopefully it is gone for good! I don't ever want it to come back!

I know our anniversary didn't turn out exactly like we wanted it to turn out, but that is the good thing about us, we get to try it again next year ;) I told Adam as I was feeling yucky that even sick I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else- he on the other hand would have probably enjoyed someone a little less germy at the moment! ;)
