As you all know, Peanut was thought to possibly have Swine. As to my previous blog I was a little worried to say the least. I personally feel that the media has the shit scared out of people. Yes, there are cases of death due to N1H1 but at the same time there are deaths every single year due to the seasonal flu. There is a lot of controversy regarding the treatment and the vaccination for N1H1. I'll stay out of that. Personally...I got my first flu shot when Pickle was a tiny little baby. I never had a problem staying healthy and I can count how many times I have had the flu on one hand. Now that I have kids, I do believe in getting my annual flu shot for their sake. As a mother, I owe it to them to stay as healthy as possible.
If anyone knows D and I, you know that we don't have babies that cry. Seriously, our babies were not the kind that cried for an hour straight...not even 15 minutes. Now I know why....Peanut cried and cried and cried, from about 10pm to 1am. And then woke up at 5 am crying. D and I never said anything to each other but secretly we were wondering what happens if we decide to have a 3rd child and it cries like this? What would we do? It was stressful, made us nervous and we didn't know what was wrong, and it's not like Peanut could say "hey mom and dad...." That just goes to show you that God gives you the kind of baby that you can handle...we can't handle a baby that cries. We thought the crying was due to the flu...come to find out Peanut popped/is popping two huge teeth. One on top and another on bottom.
So, to make a really long story short...I don't think Peanut had N1H1. He was only sick for about 3 days. On and off. I think it was more the teeth then anything else. But we learned a valuable lesson, not sure if we should take the gamble on having a 3rd baby for the mere fact that it could be a crier.
