Need I say more?
Last Friday Hannah woke up with the pukies & had them for a few hours. The rest of the day was spent with her other friend diarrhea. Can't this girl catch a break?? I mean, we went 2 weeks & she seemed to be back to her happy healthy self! This of course happens the day after her follow up appointment from her previous 4 weeks of the lovely duo. At her appointment I was happy to report that she was doing great & eating like a champ. She had even put her weight back on. So I was a bit frustrated that this happened the following day, but I'd heard there was a stomach virus going around, so I assumed that her immune system was still weak & she was going to pick anything & everything up. I was happy when she seemed to be over it within 36 hours. We were able to move on & enjoy the rest of our weekend.
Then yesterday afternoon we were headed over to play with some friends & she proceeded to puke her little guts out all over the place. I stood there in shock, amazed at the amount her little stomach could hold. She started to cry when I said we weren't going to play with friend, we were getting in the bath. At this point I too lost it & began to sob myself. This of course happens after she seemed fine for a few days & on a night that Jeff has an evening class, so it would be a long evening. The next couple of hours were spent going back & forth between being very bitter & angry & crying. (All of which were done by me, Hannah spent that time in the bath & then laying on the couch watching a movie.)
This morning she woke up & puked, but otherwise seemed fine... which makes it more frustrating, because she doesn't seem sick... then we had a few more visits from our lovely friend, diarrhea. We are headed back to the Dr. first thing in the morning. I am going to suggest getting in with a GI to see if we can figure things out. I keep trying to decide what my gut is telling me (you know, that mother's instinct...) but I think I am too tired, pregnant, & stressed out for that instinct to be functioning properly! All I know is that we are even closer to the arrival of the baby (2 weeks people!!) & I feel like we are heading the wrong direction!! So when I say motherhood is not for wimps I mean it... but lately I am feeling rather wimpy & wish that I was a father & had a lovely wife to call in for help cleaning up the puddles of puke.

Well said. I don't think the men will ever understand. Hope Hannah gets to feeling better. :)
Oh poor sweet girl. I hope they can figure out what is making her sick. Hope you're surviving as well.
Poor Hannah and poor mommy! You deserve a break! I hope you get some answers soon :)
Man, all I can say is I'm so sorry. you guys really can't catch a break it seems. I hope all is well by the time you deliver little Milo (still love that name) and feel free to email me all your frustrations if you want. robinbrimley@yahoo.com
