Pregnancy and our schedule

First child had a fever on Monday. He was better Tuesday morning, no symptoms. Second child got sick on Thursday and the first child followed suit and were both sick from Thursday until Saturday. The a couple of days later our Third and Fourth child got sick. They were better within two days. Now this morning our 17 month old wakes up with a fever and vomiting. Not fun. I'm ready to have this over with. In general our kids don't ALL get sick.

I'm the only one who really didn't get it. I wonder...could it be the 5000 I.U.'s of D3 I've been taking? I hope so. What ever the reason, I praise the Lord that I am not sick. I think he miraculously protected me because of my pregnancy. I haven't mentioned it before on my blog so there I said it. My due date is May 14, 2010....Lord willing! I'm 12 weeks and a four days.

So I'm ready to get back on schedule next week likely on Tuesday. I wonder if I should start having a plan for when the kids get sick? I do allow the sick children a DVD video in bed that we have from our collection or if we have one from the library. We also read and sometimes do a little school depending on how they're feeling. But if I have a plan when the children get sick things might go more smoothly when we do start back? I mean almost treat it like a vacation. We've done more than half of our school this week but will admit to wanting to take a day off today to rest! I'm tired and my poor little girl is not well.

I did take time to try finishing up a gift that I'm sewing for my daughter's friend and then hopefully finish up a jumper that I'm making for myself.

Nov. 12, 2009 - So sorry for the illness...

Posted by 5lilpeppers
So far this year we haven't had anything viral... the way you describe how it has worked through your household is exactly how it has done with ours in the past! I get so worn out!
( last year at this time we got very ill with a stomach virus)

We have been working on some long standing nutritional problems and just a few weeks ago had been so worn down that everyone looked bad...
We decided to go to the chiropractor for the first time in a long time and Luke had an interesting response to his adjustment.
He'd been talking of a lot of pressure in his head in the back and up around his ears. So when waiting his turn he started tearing up out of joy for being able to get something done about it! When the chiro worked with him she did a very thorough job and some 'special' movements around that area and his neck released a huge cracking sound! In the short time we go to get home he was exhausted and chilled fully clothed and with a jacket on... he then needed to rest so he had a hot bath with mineral salts ( still freezing) so we piled covers on him and tucked him in. I gave him lots of water to flush the toxins that must have been released. Then he spiked a fever! Got queasy and vomited. He slept for hours and when he woke was hungry and feeling better.
All that to say Isn't the lymphatic system something else!!!
We've been studying our body systems and he finds it fascinating. He mentions wanting to be a chiropractor or the like.
I am with you, one incidence of physical need at a time is more my speed.
Hope you all are doing well this week.
