Ok this is hard

KateVA · January 2014

Even for a BTDT 3 rd time mom. My poor 6 year old has a fever and is vomiting. My 4 year old didn't want to go to preschool if his brother was staying home. I had to get my sister and her hyperactive toddler to the airport after a rather long 6 day visit (love them but she never stops talking and he's in a typical screaming and toy throwing stage. Not exactly a calming force those two). And my baby is going through the 3 week growth spurt, nursing constantly and giving himself gas from all the sucking.

After getting the 4 year old to school and getting my husband go in late so he could take sis to airport, I tried to take a shower. Baby quickly started fussing and ds1 started puking again. Took car of everyone as best I could, then went upstairs to get dressed. In the 3 minutes I was upstairs, the baby started fussing so my well meaning but very ill 6 year old picked up the baby's BINKY and put it back in his mouth with his super germy hands. Ugh.

Take a deep breath... Sorry you have had a crummy week. Try upping your vitamin c and hope you ward off the stomach bug for you and LO after the binky incident.

That's a good idea, I've never taken emergen-c or airborne, maybe I'll get DH to pick some up

ALL MY SORRIES! It's a circus of misery at your house right now.

It's so hard. I was struggling with two kids and a sick husband. Three ups the anty so much more. I hope your son feels better soon and that no one else gets sick!

@kateva the raspberry emergen-c is the best tasting

with the holidays/ visitors/ flu I have been taking the max dose everyday along with my oj when I take my iron supp. So far neither is us have been sick...(fingers crossed)

Hope your week gets better and everyone stays heathly or gets better soon! That bug is nothing to mess with I know a bunch of people who had it and said it wiped them out

That sounds hard. But it sounds like you are doing a great job! It will be over sooner than later. Best of luck!

DH and I were discussing last night how we give mad props to parents who have a LO plus other small kids. (We have a very independent 14 yr old - my stepson) I don't know how y'all do it - and with germy ickiness on top of that? You're a rock star!

Until sickness hit, life with 3 has been pretty smooth sailing. Nothing compared to the challenge of 2 under 2. My older boys are pretty self sufficient and they understand the baby's needs come first. But a sick 6 year old needs his mom! It's just hard keeping them apart.
