Well, it had to get to us eventually. The flu. This week it hit both kids, at the same time, hard. I've never cleaned up so much throw up. Poor babies, and poor us! For the last few days no one has gotten sleep, eaten enough (well i'm still doing fine with my sweet intake), or smiled as much as usual. Hudson experienced throwing up in the toilet for the first time (when he could make it there in time), and Stella is taking it all like a champ, though her wimpers are regular right now. Going through this with them together has shown both Andy and I that Stella is like me when she's sick, and Hudson is like Andy. Hudson is very needy, winey, can't do anything himself, and is stuck to me like a magnet. Stella wants to be held a little more than normal, but seems to want her space and to tough it out more on her own. This is pretty similar to how Andy and I are sick. There aren't many times when i'm so sick i just need someone to take care of me. Typically i'll manage on my own. Andy, not so much. Maybe his mom was just too loving, and i'm the harsh reality that those days are over? :)
Needy or not, i hope our babies recover soon, so we can make our cookies and get ready for Santa to come!
