so we've had quite the germy couple of weeks......about 3 weeks ago i got this really bad stomach bug - actually thought i was going into early labor (really early, 24 weeks at that point!)......after a stint in the hospital where they pumped me with fluids and gave me some anti-nausea medicine, they determined it was just a GI bug and nothing baby related......obviously that was a huge relief......but the GI bug circulated through the house - steve got it pretty good, and casey had a bout of diarrhea, although she didn't show any other signs of discomfort thank god......i can't imagine her having the stomach cramps i had........then i got it back again for a bit.......finally it seems to have left our house........
then came our camping trip - first with casey.......while it wasn't a 100% disaster, it didn't go great.......casey didn't end up napping at all while we were there and was crankier and a lot more tired than usual.......it was hard to plan anything because we didn't know when she'd fall asleep, so we didn't get to hike or canoe or anything fun like that.......we got to the beach a couple times - she loves the water so she had a good time there.......and because she didn't nap, she was exhausted by bedtime and slept fairly well at night even though the nearby campsites were pretty loud at times.......and despite being drenched in bug spray, she somehow managed to get about 10 really bad mosquito bites.......they swelled up and seemed to really bother her......by monday she had a fever of 104 (scary stuff) and i'm convinced it was a reaction to the bites.......
she seems to be on the mend now, aside from not really wanting to eat anything at all.......she's on day 3 of her food fast and i'm starting to get pretty concerned.......she's getting stringbean like and i'm not loving that look on her.......she already wasn't eating great when she had the GI bug and didn't really need another bout of not eating.......she's even snubbing her favorites: fast food fries and hot dogs.......hoping her appetite will resurface soon.......she seems to be ok with drinking so we're just pumping her with milk, juice, and the occasional milkshake.......she's not so into my smoothies.......of course i'm not really good at making them so that might have something to do with it!.......
cross your fingers we've left all our germs and infections behind us and on the road to recovery!......
