Pregnancy + Rotovirus = Ruined Easter

Hi everyone!

I am back from the dead...or almost dead...or felt like death. Anywho, as most of you already know, I am pregnant. That is why I have been away from the kitchen for so long. I was really clobbered by morning sickness for the past couple of months and couldn't drag myself to my computer. If I failed to respond to your email, please forgive me...I am way behind. Anyway, back to the good news. Yes, Andrew and I were shocked in February to find out we are pregnant and due in October. While the pregnancy was not planned, we are very happy about it now that the reality has sunk in. I am at very high risk for preeclampsia to return so I am being monitored by a high risk ob. Keep your fingers crossed for a LONG and healthy pregnancy.

We were supposed to go home last week for Easter but my son picked up a nasty cough/cold. We took him to the doctor's office where he was able to pick up ROTOVIRUS! Aren't we lucky? He ended up in the hospital for 4 days with dehydration and whatnot. Of course, I was lucky enough to get it too!! Yeah for me!!! Needless to say, I had a couple days of sheer hell. Rotovirus and morning sickness make for a horrid little cocktail. I am happy to report that we are all better now. My MIL was so sweet and gave up her Easter plans at home to come to Boston and nurse us all back to health. Thanks Suze! Why do we always get nailed at the holidays or planned trips home? Next time we plan a trip home, this house is going on quarantine for the week prior!

Well...I hope you all had a nice Easter/Passover. More later.

So glad to see that you are all feeling better now! Can't believe that you all had rotovirus. Jett had it when he was little, and that was enough for me. But to have it while pregnant! Ahhhh!

So glad you are back!!!
