Jen B's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

January 26, 2001

I'm feeling much better today, but that's not saying much. I was sick, sick, sick yesterday. I think I caught whatever it was Jacob had Monday. He threw up a couple times and couldn't seem to keep anything down. No fever, and no strange behavior, other than being extra clingy. I don't blame him, though. And why is it every time my child throws up, he does it ON me?!?!?

Anyway, he seemed to be fine the next day, and kept everything down, though I was very cautious about what I gave him. Now I didn't have a fever, but felt achy and nauseous all day. And yes, I lost my lunch, too.

This is going to sound awful, but it was slightly easier for me when Jake was sick. At least I was able to take care of him. I felt so weak, I couldn't pick him up, and had no patience for being around him. I was SO glad when Chris got home. He was a saint, taking care of Jacob and me.

Jake has a new trick now. He likes to pinch or hit me when I stop him from doing something he shouldn't and says "ow". He also says it if I scoot him out of a room he's not supposed to be in. I hope he gets tired of it real quick, especially before he decides to do it to someone else.

It's a very good thing I'm feeling better today. I don't know how I'd have managed another day of feeling so bad and being stuck here with Jake alone. Makes me wonder how I'd cope with two kids . . . .

Jen & Jacob =)
