Oh Lesley, that's great news, the last thing you needed was that worry on top of everything else!
I think it's good news in a bad way, I think I have the flu, that's good news because the thought of the morning sickness coming back full force really upset me. I checked my temp last night as I was really cold but Steve said the house was warm, anyway, I had a fever and felt better after a couple tylenol. So still puking but at least I also think it's a flu bug passing through rather than more morning sickness.
So I know a fever is bad during pregnancy, but how on top of it do I have to stay?? It drops to normal within an hour of tylenol, but only stays down for about 5 hours. Steve is being good and is really taking care of me, he brings a new cold cloth for my head every couple hours.

Shannon, you could get in a bath to try to bring your temp down. One that is a little lower than your body temp I think is what does the trick.

Lesley, glad that the amnio payment is being taken care of. A little less stress is good.
Hope you got to relax a little.

Ok, off to take a nice bath. Hope it will mellow me out so I will sleep all night long, mmmmmmmmm.

Wow, where's everyone been today??? I'm feeling a little better, fever is gone, just the aching body and still some puking to deal with, but I got out of the house and did some groceries and some house work.
How's everyone else doing today?? Lesley, I hope your company today helped to relax you. When do your parents get home??
Elblad, how are you doing??? Is it just me or has it been a while since you checked in??
Kate I hope you are still riding that cloud that came from hearing the baby's heartbeat!!
Well, off to continue house cleaning--what else would one do on a sunday evening???
