We had one of the roughest weeks ever…with being a mom of 2 kids I’m sure we’ll have many more weeks like this one BUT holy hell that was an awful initiation. The flu sucks…especially for little kids and babies…
So I left off my last post saying how Owen had walked in the door last Friday night and barfed everywhere…little did we know that he had the flu…and it was a flu that did NOT want to go away! Started with Owen…went to Ella (puking 6 times on Sunday alone!) then followed up with getting Daddy….THANKFULLY I never got it…I did an awful lot of hand washing!!
This was my week in pictures…(many of them were on IG)…with 2 kids puking a lot, trips to Kaiser, too much laundry…then my husband started puking…ahhh it was nightmare!
The pic below had my cracking up….I put Ella down for a nap and went downstairs to “rest” myself. Daddy had come home from work early not feeling well. SO I left him and Owen in bed together. An hour later I come up and Owen is PASSED OUT on the floor (which NEVER happens) and Daddy is PASSED OUT in the bed. It was so funny! My poor sickies!
All week only 1 child was feeling good at a time….it went back and forth. When Ella wasn’t feeling well she wouldn’t let me put her down for a second….it was sad…and Owen would help me lots always trying to keep Ella happy! And when Owen was sick he just wants his Mommy…and ONLY his Mommy! NO Daddy, No Ella, Nothing or no one! Which makes it hard when you are still nursing a baby that ALSO always wants you! (can you feel my hairs going gray yet?!?)
As soon as I thought Owen was feeling better he’d puke everywhere (the couch, my BED!, HIS bed at 2am!) and at any given time! (Laundry and barf clean up sucks and it REALLY sucks at 2am!)
Then once Ella’s puking stopped her diarrhea started…lovely! Owen FINALLY stopped puking after 6 days (he was the sickest the longest) and then we couldn’t get his fever to hit the road! uugggghhhhhhh. Stressful! And I’m kinda proud of myself I didn’t run BACK to Kaiser…we let it sort itself out! See I’m not the crazy mom ALL the time hahaha.
And with my Mother on vacation its been tough…I swear I’m not the sick one but I still wanted my mommy!! We got to FaceTime… 
She’ll be thrilled I posted this! lol
What luck…poor Owen went from bronchitis (that lasted A LONG TIME), to asthma/allergy problems, to tonsillitis & ear infection to THE FLU! Really…how is that possible? BUT I’m hoping that we have it all behind us and heading to a healthier FALL season! Headed to our high schools football game last night…it was chilly and was a great reminder that FALL is seriously on its way!! Yay.
So this morning we are recovering from the aftermath of the Souza Flu…with some carpet cleaning! Thank God we had an awesome friend let us borrow their cleaner…Thanks Nicole!
Daddy cleans and kids play….its nice.
ps. We will def be getting the flu shot this year!! Don’t wanna get THAT again!
