Happy New Year…

Posted on | January 1, 2009 | 9 Comments

I started the year off with a bang: in the hospital for a fluid drip after getting severely dehydrated from the most intense food poisoning/vomit/unmentionable sickness EVER. It struck in the middle of the night, after a demure and pleasant dinner out with friends.

Way to start the year off with a bang, no?

    My theory? It is like rain on your wedding day. The rest of 2009 is going to be wicked awesome for you.

    Oh my gosh and pregnant too. That is utterly miserable. I’m glad you’re better and hope 2009 just keeps getting better from here! =)

    Oh poor you. Would you believe the same thing happened to me – also over New Years – when I was pregnant with my first? He turned out to be a delight so I’ve decided it’s a good sign. Or at least not a bad one.

    Happy New Year anyway. At least the dinner was pleasant…

    Yurgh…were you the only one affected? Hope the baby is okay, though I’m sure you would have said if otherwise. Take it easy and be extra nice to yourself this week!!

    My dad had to go to the hospital on Christmas Eve for the same reason…I think a touch of the flu (or a combo of several things) is going around. Be Well!

    So sorry to hear you’ve been ill. I fell by the wayside of blog-reading last year, but looking forward to catching up on your life starting…now. Happy New Year!

    Oh, bless your heart…like you needed any more puking in your life! Glad you are okay and rehydrated.

    Thanks you guys. The fluids made everything better at the hospital. It’s a wonder what dehydration can do… I didn’t want to go into early labor (which, incidentally is how Bean arrived two weeks early.) I’m all better now. :)
