There isn't much worse than having your babies sick. I remember when Beckham got throw up SICK for his 1st time. He was about 13 mths old. Dave and I went to get him out of his crib and he was just trembling with a fever. I could tell right then that he was going to throw up. I didn't know what to do but put my hands out and catch most of it. Normally/pre-kid wise I would've thrown up myself, having that in my hands and all over, but I literally teared up for the little guy. You feel so helpless as a mom, when your kid(s) are miserable and look at you with those "fix me" eyes.
Luckily or unluckily after many sicknesses, needle pokes, x-rays, and battle wounds Dave and I became a little more used to it and less anxious. Probably never goes away entirely.??
The kids and I spent a good amount of time at the doc this morning to find out that Roma has Croup. Both her and Beck man have the deep thick cough, but she has had a high fever, scratchy weak voice and sad breathing troubles for 2 days. Nights are rough.
On the way to the doc. this morning she was telling Beck and I that she was going to get a shot and some new medicine. I'm guessing that the shot idea came from the fact that just two days ago I had a regular pregnancy visit with the same doc. and had to get my Rhogam shot. She was prepared for it regardless and surprisingly ended up having to need one. Her planning must of helped because that tough girl didn't even cry. I was so impressed. Cuz I was bawling...kidding.
When all was said and done, 2 1/2 hrs later, both her and Beckham walked out with suckers, stickers, a toy and McD's on the way home.
Didn't you love that part of going to the doctor or dentist when you were a kid. My fave was the banana creamy I'd get after the dentist.
Anyways- Hoping for a little more sleep and less anxiety for everyone. Get those Sick Bugs outta here!
