Yesterday started out to be a great day! Kiley was starting to be her lovable self and Team Saip was actually able to clean the house. We also got Ella hooked on the tv show Full House. It’s always great to relive your childhood thru your kids!
We decided to clean the house and then get the kids in the car so they could all nap at the same time. We ate lunch around two, took showers, got ready and were out the door by 4pm. We ran to the cleaners, Childrens Place, Gymboree (got Conman an awesome outfit) and Old Navy (got a retro U of I T-Shirt).
Before going into Old Navy, I started to not feel well. My stomach was stating to feel heavy and I didn’t like it. It wasn’t the same feeling when my acid reflux acts up. So, we were going to run a few more errands but I got increasingly worried about how nauseous I was getting. Connor also wasn’t doing well as he was super cranky because he was hungry. So, instead of going to the closer Wal-Mart I said we would head to the one past our house in hopes that Connor would go back to sleep, Kiley would go back to sleep and I would be ok to actually go to the store.
We ended up going to Wal-Mart and Beth ran in with a covered Connor to keep him sleeping. He’s they type to need movement when sleeping in the car seat. So, the girls and I waited in the parking lot, Beth was super quick and we were home around 6ish. On the way home, Beth started to feel the same way I was feeling. That’s when the fun began!
I was the first to actually “get sick” in the bathroom and it continued off and on until 10:30ish. Beth was able to atleast put away the frozen goods and feed the girls before she was out of commision. It was interesting trying to get the girls to bed and WE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT Connor was really content in his swing till after I was done being with the porcelain god most of the night. He was in there for a good 3-4 hours either looking around or sleeping. We were shocked as we didn’t know what we were going to do.
We have ruled it to be Food Poisoning from lunch. We had eaten our left overs from Friday night – Sweet and Sour Chicken. We think the Chicken was under cooked and I didn’t eat a whole lot of it the night before because I love me some Crab Rangoon. I did however eat a good portion for lunch and Beth had a couple pieces.
We survived the night and have been up with Connor off and on. We actually were up from 1-2am trying to comprehend what we were just put through. It was BRUTAL!
I’m not sure what else we can be tested with! It’s not everyday you hear about a family of 5 going thru what we have been thru with the 3 kids and now Beth and I over a two week time period.
