The stomach flu....continued

Well, I guess I spoke to soon on Sunday! I woke up feeling a bit better and assumed that I was in the home stretch....WRONG! By about 3:00 I was once again sick, sick! It was a long day as Shayden, Shadd, and I were all throwing up. I just hung my head over a bowl on the couch while both boys took turns in the bathroom. I am not kidding when I say I have never been sick like that before. I don't know if being pregnant had anything to do with that or not. Having the stomach flu while pregnant is horrible! I honestly would take labor any day over that! I am no longer apprehensive about labor after going through this. My stomach hurt worse than I've ever experienced before. I lost 6 pounds during the 5 days I was sick.
Tuesday afternoon I started feeling better. Yesterday was an even better day. I actually made four loaves of banana nut bread and did school with the kids. By afternoon I laid down for an hour or so to recoup. Today I am fully back to the land of the living! Shannen and I picked a couple of big bowls of peaches and peeled and froze them. I did take another long rest on the couch this afternoon, but I think I am just to that stage in pregnancy that I am needing a bit of down time during the afternoon to get through the evening.
We are keeping an eye on Shyloh now as she didn't feel very good after work yesterday. She ended up with a terrible migraine and her stomach has felt funny. Today she is still dealing with a minor headache and this morning her stomach hurt off and on, but by this evening she thought she was feeling much better. We are praying over everyone in our home. Please continue to pray for us as well.
