The day of all days…..

My Hospital ID bracelet as I type

Thank you to all who chimed in last night on our Facebook Conversation about the best prenatal vitamins (since I am 9 weeks pregnant) – well apparently I was not feeling well because I was coming down with another stomach bug (not from the vitamins).

I just got over a stomach bug 2 weeks ago, so when my daughter got sick on Christmas I thought she just caught what I had…and I was WRONG!  She passed something onto me, and I got sick all last night and into today, which landed me in the emergency room for most of the day on IV Liquids.

I am home now and feeling much better now!  Many of my friends recommended plant based prenatal vitamins so I have decided to start taking a plant based prenatal vitamin – hopefully these Garden of Life Prenatals will help with my morning sickness.

Both of my girls are sick still – so we have been doing a lot of snuggling :)

relaxing with my girls

So I just wanted to let you all know where I have been the past few days – if I haven’t responded to your emails you know why, so give me a few days and hopefully I will feel brand new again!

Has the stomach bug hit your family yet?  It is a yucky one around here!

    I hope you all start feeling better soon. I came down with the flu this week and had a long discussion with my doc re: tamiflu because I need those prenatals too (mid August).

        Yup – unexpected too. Tears of joy and sadness all at the same time. But found an awesome crib and mattress combo deal at Walmart too (with a good mattress).

    Oh, it’s just dreadful to have the stomach bug while you are prego! I had it 4 times when I was pregnant with #2. I always joked when he was born that all the bouts with the stomach bug are what made him spit up non-stop for the first year! I hope you feel better soon, we all know that Mommy’s don’t really get sick days!

    Ahh Sweetie – things have been tough for you lately, but it’s gonna get better. Garden of Life vits are so much better than the crapola Centrum and Flinstone brands. The quality of the vitamin are EVERYTHING. Worth the price! Wishing you all on the mend soon – you might consider getting everyone on a good probiotic – it is very important that especially if you’ve been taking antibiotics that you replace the “good bugs” or your tummies will still feel upset. A good site for quality vitamins and supplements at better prices is iherb.com.

    Awww! Hope y’all feel better soon. What a rotten Christmas break. No stomach bug here, but strep for four weeks straight since Thanksgiving for almost everyone in my house (my 3 boys and I) except my husband. One of my boys has had it twice in those four weeks. This is the first week everyone has not been sick, but we’re taking it easy anyway with a laid back Christmas break.

    We had that horrible stomach Bug here……I have honestly never been as sick as I was this year. I have Crohn’s do I am somewhat of a trooper with the whole throwing up/stomac cramps bit.I was lying on the floor in horrible pain praying it would just stop. I had to take a car full up puking kids to the Hospital to get Zofran. I can’t imagine being pregnant AND having the stomach bug. Big Mommy hugs to you. Cuddle up with your babies.

    Have you tried Preggie Pops or Preggie Drops for your morning sickness? I supplied my sister with them when she was pregnant. She was sick morning, noon and night and she loved these things. They helped so much! Just type it into search engine and it should direct you to where you can get some. I used to order them from Walmart. I couldn’t do much for her, but she loved these and it eased up her morning sickness. Doesn’t hurt to try!

    Hi, Lauren and family, this too shall pass and you will all have a grand New Year in 2013… you have something wonderfully marvelous to look forward to! Hope the morning sickness eases and the stomach bug doesn’t return. If anyone comes down with a sore throat rush to the doctors for Tamiflu all around, it will make a huge difference. Rooting for your health :)

    My 4 year old and I had it last saturday. He was vomiting all night. I had it coming out the other end. He bounced back just fine on Sunday. As for me – it took me until thursday to feel somewhat human again!
    Feel better!
