Being Sick

If somebody asked me what was something I think should be outlawed would be parents getting sick.  There is absolutely no reason for it.  I mean, its bad enough when the kids get sick, but when the parents get sick?  Come on!  It's just not even right.  I have developed this strange pattern of getting sick after the having the kids, so I suppose that it is fitting that this post pardum is no different.  With the other kids I would get this horrible fever, and fevers are the worst for me.  I would take any other symptom of being sick vs. having a fever.  Fevers, even extremely low grade ones, involve this shooting pain behind my eyes and at the base of my neck where my spine meets my brain and then the aching joints and pain throughout my body.  Then of course there's the problem with regulating my body tempt from being way to hot to having the cold sweats.  Not pleasant.  The only upside to my other times being sick is that it helped me lose the rest of my baby house... but that was only like 10 pounds.  This time would've been impressive had I lost the rest of my baby weight!

I have to say that this sickness wasn't as bad as the others.  Still put me out of commission for about a day and a half... which is hard on everybody.  I pretty much sweated the fever out for an entire day.  I was gross, but I was gonna get better dang it!  I am healthy now, thank goodness, and am still on the road to recovery.  I can pretty much do everything (which I love!) and have my 6 week check up on Tuesday, which I'm sure they will say everything is good.
