Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

February 28, 2018

We Survived The Flu

This year, so many people were affected somehow by the dreaded flu. For us, it was the night of Christmas when Sophie started getting sick. My poor baby could not stop throwing up, so we knew she caught the flu. Watching my little two year old girl go through that was so incredibly sad. I felt completely helpless, and all I wanted was to take all the sickness away from her.

We Survived The Flu

Well, that’s exactly what happened. Not only did I get the flu as well, but so did baby Jake. This was hands down one of the hardest weeks I have ever had as a mother. I had a fever over 100 and there was little I could do for it since I was breastfeeding. This was one of those times where the superhuman mom strength came into full effect. I knew I had to fight through my own illness to be there for my babies.

Thank goodness, after a week of hell, I was able to get them the right meds, fluids, and sleep to conquer the flu. For myself, on the other hand, it took a good 12 days to feel normal again. Kyle was able to stay flu free (which I hated him for – lol) but I was thankful to have him healthy.

That week definitely tested my mom strength, but I’m just so happy it’s over. I know a lot of other families went through this as well, some situations worse, so props to all the strong parents out there, taking care of their babies.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
