Sick Sick Sick!

What a week! Monday started off well...everyone was healthy...or so I thought. Sydney and I had a little cough over the weekend that seemed like nothing. But by Tuesday we were miserable with fevers and aches. Sydney's temperature hung around 102 from Tuesday until Friday. I took her to the doctor on Thursday and he said it was a bad cold. She had gotten the flu mist a couple months back so I wasn't worried she had caught the flu. Yet even with alternating motrin and tylenol her fever kept coming back day after day. We watched quite a lot of TV (Finding Nemo countless times, Elmo DVD's, playhouse disney, etc). I didn't have the energy to do anything. I didn't take anything to be on the safe side even though there are some meds you can take while you're pregnant. But my fever wasn't as high, 100.4, and rest seemed to be doing the best thing for me. Andrew didn't get sick thank goodness. He made several grocery trips for medicine, jello, popsicles and such. Sydney's fever finally broke on Saturday and you could see the difference right away. She was alert and full of energy again. Her appetite is slowly coming back, with tonight being the first meal she wanted to eat (fish sticks, mac and cheese and watermelon) her favorites. It was tough taking care of a sick child while being sick at the same time, but it's just as tough explaining that we can't watch tv and eat popsicles all day long and "no, I can't carry you up and down the stairs anymore." Ahhh. But I am really glad we're feeling better :)
