The Flu Strikes Again

Yes. We are once again sick with the flu in the Hanson house. This time, I was the unfortunate one to be taken down. Matilda still seems to have been lucky enough to avoid it, and I hope it stays that way.

We had a FABULOUS weekend with Grandma visiting. We got to do all sorts of fun things like go to brunch, Nate and I got a spin class in, we did lots of shopping, lots of playing with Til. And then Tuesday came.

I went off to work. Mom stayed with Tillie.
I came home from work.
We left to go to a nice dinner and to the Lion King (which was such a great show).
Came home.

3AM the stomach rumbles start. You know how you know you are getting sick, but you are in denial. That was me. Until the throwing up started.

In parallel to this happening, Matilda had her worst night of sleep in a LONG time. So when she woke up and was super cranky, I could just envision a day of miserable baby at daycare. I asked my Mom is she would consider staying an extra day so that we could keep Matilda at home. She said yes.

So I went back to bed, and Grandma and Matilda started playing.

Fast forward about an hour when my MOM starts getting sick. So here we are both sick with the flu.

Nate ended up coming home from work to take care of Matilda. Classic shit show. In many cases of the word.

It didn't end the way it should have, but it was still a great visit. We always love having visitors, especially Grandma!

It was a great time in MN, with lots of fun activities and just spending time with the Hanson's. It wasn't the best end...but if you have to have the flu, having someone to commiserate with helps!
See you very soon, Love, Mom
