Ugh

So, I heard that there is some kind of stomach virus going around...too bad I already caught it. Saturday night after arriving home, we decided to get our complimentary dinner for two at Chuy's. We had gotten the certificate back in December when we got fajitas to go and they forgot to pack the tortillas, little sides (pico, sour cream, guac, and lettuce), AND the beans and rice! Sheesh! When we called them and told them about it, they offered the certificate or for us to come back and pick up the stuff. Um, yeah right...we'll go for the free dinner for two!

Anyhow, so later that night I had a hard time sleeping and then around 3 AM, I lost my dinner. From then on, I lost everything I ate, which was about ten Saltines and a few spoonfuls of Chicken Noodle Soup; oh, and not to mention the fact that I was nauseous all day. Okay, so I made it through the night and the next day I was feeling ten times better. At least I felt strong enough to pick up Lydia and it didn't hurt as much to nurse with her with her sitting on my stomach. The only thing worse than suffering a stomach virus is suffering one while breastfeeding. The little nutrients that you have in your body goes to the baby and basically leaves you with nothing, well, at least it felt like it.

Okay, so Monday was fine; I ate the rest of the Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch and made congee for dinner. I don't know if it was the Chinese broccoli or just the virus, but my stomach started making googly noises. I felt so gasy and uncomfortable and I couldn't get to sleep for a couple hours; I probably finally fell asleep only after taking an anti-gas pill.

Today I am pretty much good to go, though I'm sticking with the safe foods again. Lydia has been feeling just fine, thank goodness, but I think my milk isn't as filling because I haven't really been eating and she always seems hungry. Hopefully
I'll be able to eat better tomorrow.

Yeah, so, Lydia hasn't started eating solid foods, but that doesn't mean she can't join us for dinner. :)
