really sick

so this past week, i got really sick. the worst kind of sick i've had in years. early monday morning, probably about 3 a.m., i woke up to do my routine bathroom visit because of pregnancy. but i was also feeling a little queasy. i shrugged it off, since i started getting nausea again. now, i never threw up in the first trimester at all. all i had was a little bit of stomach discomfort and mostly fatigue.

so on monday, i woke up feeling really haggard. again, still not concerned as i am not a morning person. so i was getting ready for work, and i was telling pete how much my stomach hurt. he empathized robotically, and he left the room. i was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, clutching my tummy, and that's where i lost it. i don't know how many times i threw up, but it was a lot. pete has a really low tolerance for puke and poop, so he didn't come in to check on me. he called from way down the hall, but i couldn't answer being that i was still out of it.

needless to say, i stayed home from work that day. and the next. pete did too the next day, because i gave him my bug. i later found out it was passed to us and was a contamination of our home by a baby i shall not name.

moral of the story: do not bring your child to someone's house if they have symptoms of stomach flu.
