    Does helping your husband do expense reports count as insomnia? 😂 but really...I’m so over this late night crap. I just want to fall asleep like a normal human again!

    I had to pee. And I’m starving because I remembered I didn’t eat dinner, rather just a late lunch. Oops.

    It's 2:41am and I woke up to a tiny voice saying "I'm going to be sick!" Luckily he made it out of the bed, but not to the bathroom. We're on the couch now as he requested to watch Pokemon. He has a fever. I'm trying to figure out how to cancel his appointments today in a reasonable amount of time. Their voicemail says to call the director for cancellations but it's almost 3 in the morning. But I'm afraid they won't get my message in time. I may call and leave them a message despite the voicemail telling me to not to. 🤔

    @mrskoz428 thanks. We're on the couch, and he keeps falling asleep then waking up to vomit again. I just gave him some motrin for his fever, hoping he doesn't wake up again. I cannot sleep on this couch, but I also can't bring myself to leave him down here alone. Been contemplating taking him back to bed. He has a bucket he's used twice already. Therapy voicemail says to call the director for cancellations but she's intimidating and I don't want to lol. Going to wait until it's a bit later.

    @eatinwatermelonseeds how's your son doing now? I hope he's stopped vomiting.

    @expandcontract he woke up completely better, keeps loving on me like I saved his life last night lol. He's doing great. But I cancelled everything, giving him the day.

    @eatinwatermelonseeds you DID save is life momma, at least to him. ❤️ He deserves the day, that’s for sure. It’s safer for everyone. 24 hours vomit free!

    I decided to wake up an hour before I need to, so I can shower and do prenatal yoga. I haven't even crawled out of bed yet and already think I'm going to regret this today lol.

    @mrskoz428 I found this website called sleepy time and you put in either when you need to get up and it'll tell you what time to go to bed or what time you're going to bed and it'll tell you what time to wake up in order to avoid waking during a REM cycle. It's actually been helpful. I woke up with little trouble, showered, ate breakfast and did yoga this morning and I feel good.

    @eatinwatermelonseeds my iPhone as a timer like that! I also bought an app that can track my sleep and wake me up at the lightest point. Maybe I should try that again!

    @mrskoz428 Oh, that's really cool! I didn't know they made watches that do that.

    @eatinwatermelonseeds it’s just apps on my phone. The alarm has a “bedtime setting” where you enter how much sleep you want and when you need to get up and it tells you when to go to bed. The other is an app called pillow. You turn it on, lay it on the bed, and it tracks your movement while you sleep to see how awake you are. You can do a smart wake up version but I’m afraid I’d wake up WAY too early or late!

    My stomach has been churning since my meeting and I couldn't fall asleep.  Just got sick, not pregnancy sick but definitely stomach flu sick 🤢 Here's hoping I can get some sleep and wake up as bright eyed and bushy tailed as DD2 when she was sick a month ago and @eatinwatermelonseeds little guy.  But I'm betting thats unlikely.

    @mrskoz428 woke up still feeling like junk, but haven't been sick for hours so fingers crossed.  I just really hope my kids don't catch it.  Watching it work its way through the house this weekend is definitely the last thing I want to be doing.

    @mcewen3 no kidding. If you get any kind of energy, or maybe SO (my memory is horrible so I don’t remember if you have an SO or not) can disinfect EVERYTHING! My mom and DH disinfected everything but me and no one else in my house got it! Hoping it doesn’t spread!

    @mrskoz428 I do have a SO, but unfortunately I am solo parenting all weekend.  He had a sledding trip planned this and tried to go part of the way last night. He left as soon as I got home from my meeting and by the time I actually knew I was for sure sick he was long gone.  MIL is keeping her sister company on the drive down to AZ today and won’t fly home until Sunday, and while FIL is generally useless when it comes to those things I’m sure he would try and help but will be going out of town right after work today for the funeral of a close family friend tomorrow.  

    I just got DD1 off to school, now trying to determine if I can handle an hour at the rink this morning for DD2’s skating lessons.  DH is sure that I must have got sick from the pizza we had last night and that pregnancy is just exacerbating my sometimes irritable gut.  I really hope he’s right.  But I’ll definitely be disinfecting today, just as a precaution in case that isn’t it.

    @mcewen3 how did things turn out on Thursday? Are you feeling better? I hope it hasn't spread across the family while your solo parenting!

    I've been awake for the past twotwo days with the cough at the tail end of a cold that cough medicine doesn't seem to affect since it's from post nasal drip and isn't congestion.I'm so tired, had a crappy day on Thursday (lots of vomiting and nausea I think caused by the cold) and am keeping on the couch since I can't stop coughing. All I want is my beloved  pseudonephren! How I miss you!

    @knarlytaurus I feel you. I'm developing a cold/some kind of virus that DD2 brought home from daycare, and my throat is all scratchy and I can barely breathe, leaving me feeling like I'm going to puke... not fun.

    Day 3 of waking up way too early to shower and (in theory) do yoga. Might feel better after yoga but I'm currently eating a muffin and cuddling on the couch with the dog trying to get my nausea down.

    @knarlytaurus have you tried a NetiPot for the postnasal drip?  After I had DD2 I started getting really frequent sinus infections.  The postnasal drip would never fully clear and eventually would worsen again and the infection cycle would repeat.  Nasal rinses totally grossed me out but I was out of ideas and my mom convinced me to try it.  It was when I was staying at her house for the weekend so she just prepared them for me every 4 hours and forced me to do it like a child.  But it totally helped.  I bought my own NetiPot right after and did a rinse every night for weeks.  The drip cleared up quite quickly but because I clearly had a bigger problem with it I do a rinse at least once a week now to maintain it.  If I notice that I'm starting to get sick I go back to daily, or even multiple times a day.  Drug-free and pregnancy safe, it really does help.

    Thanks for checking in.  I still felt crappy when I got up yesterday morning but I tried eating a small something and immediately felt better.  No clue what caused it, but I'm so happy it doesn't appear to be a bug that anyone else is going to get.  Kids are still bouncing off the walls like usual so they seem to be feeling totally fine.
