Congrats on your pregnancy! Yay! Great news! My oldest daughter was sick with *something* over the weekend. it wasn't H1N1 because there was no fever or body aches or chills, coughing or runny nose but she threw up for 12 hours straight, every 1/2 hour. Most of the time it was just bile. It was horrible. But I stayed calm because I knew she was going to be okay and that it wasn't the dreaded H1N1. I remembered being sick like that when I was a kid and I lived! My husband on the other hand flew into a panic and wanted to take her to emergency. (yeah, great place to REALLY get the flu dear!) It took a while to calm him down and make him see that she was going to be fine. And she was. After a day of resting on the couch, she was eating and drinking and feeling just fine. So glad you are all okay. .-= Melodie´s last blog ..Breastfeeding, Formula Feeding and Social Oppression =-.

lol, Hill! I love how you just casually mentioned your pregnant at the end of your post! Congrats again, dear sister, from another Queen Bee.

I’m so glad your family is feeling better. And once again I’m inspired by your writing!
Love you!

We don’t really know. We never got tested. The symptoms were spot on flu, but there’s no real way for us to know. I might just think we did b/c of all the drama and there is a part of me that wanted to get it to build up my immunity. My own little theory.

So, you know for sure it was swine flu? Because if you did not get tested for it, it could be something completely different. CDC numbers are showing a vast majority of samples sent in for testing not even coming up influenza, let alone H1N1. And that is from “possible and probable” cases only.

Wow! Congratulations!

And isn’t it convenient that if anyone says you should get the vax, you can say, nope, I’m immune already!

Keep feeling better!

kate, that’s so tough. We are friends with a family in a similar situation. Their youngest has a terrible time with lung stuff and he gets very sick every winter. They did choose to vax and I do understand.

I’ve been reflecting on what a huge responsibility this is for us as parents. If I was just looking out for myself it would be such a different game. Making these decisions for the well being of my children adds a entirely different level of responsibility.
