Oh Hailey, it’s been a rough couple of days!  It all started around midnight Sunday when I woke up with a horrible stomach ache.  By 2am I was throwing up, which I thought was great, cause then I’d feel so much better – right?  Wrong!  It happened again around 4am; that’s when I knew we were in trouble.

I called the doctor and she said that no matter what I had to stay hydrated…for your sake.  So, I drank quite a few liquids and ate one saltine cracker.  About 10:30am, those things decided not to stick around either.  By then I had cold sweats, hot flashes, and body aches.  I slept a lot and tried to get down some more liquids; luckly those decided to stay down.

By the time your dad got home from work I was not much better.  I tried to eat some chicken noodle soup but that wasn’t going down so good so I switched to Jello…that seemed to be okay.  I took a hot bath and went to bed with the hopes that I could make it through the night.

I am thrilled to say, it’s 8:00am Tuesday morning and I made it through the night without incident.  I was able to stomach some solid foods this morning, and I feel SO MUCH better!  I am still having some hot flashes but my body aches are a million times better and I can actually function without feeling ridiculously weak.  I’ve managed to lose 5 pounds since Sunday…that’s pretty much all the baby weight I’ve gained with you in 2 days!

I tell you what, this whole experience has given me new found respect for those new moms who have morning sicknesss…I’ll gladly feel this way for 2 days as long as I don’t have to do it for 2 months!  All things considered, I feel pretty lucky!
