Sharing the Spirit of Christmas

My sweet darling boys woke up on Saturday morning almost back to their old selves.  They didn't eat too much, but were not longer getting sick and felt just fine enough to play and play and play with all their new toys and games.  Awesome!

And, since they are so sweet and darling, they were kind enough to share their sickness with me.  I knew around lunchtime that I was going to be in for it later.  I finally caved and crawled into bed around 2:00 or so.  The vomiting started at 3:30 and lasted about 12 hours, just like the boys.  I puked like clockwork every 2 hours.  And it wasn't pleasant in between the puking either.  I felt so sick I was doing almost anything to make myself get sick - like chug water and Sprite.  It did eventually work, but generally only moved the timeframe up by about 30 minutes or so.

I did feel well enough on Sunday morning to nurse Lexi around 6:30 since I hadn't vomited since about 3:00 and figured I was past the every 2 hour milestone and was feeling slightly better.  After cleaning the bathroom and a nice hot shower I was still feeling pretty drained, but at least no longer sick.

I just hope that Luis and Lexi are able to sidestep this one - it ain't no fun.

On a happier note, Lou's parents stopped over on Sunday afternoon to exchange gifts.  The boys were psyched to get the Bat Cave, which they had been talking about for weeks and were slightly disappointed since they didn't think they were going to get it.  Lexi was quite interested in the flushing potty noise of the Little People Happy Home and I got a beautiful baby blue cashmere sweater.  Luis got a nice merino wool sweater which he kidded his mother about saying it was the 5th year in a row that he had received one of those sweaters, all in the same color (and it is mostly true LOL).

By the time dinnertime rolled around I was even able to eat some food - yippee!  Maybe I'll use this to kickstart my diet.
