We are staying at a pretty nice marriott. Granted a chance of clothes and PJs woukd be great but sure beats staying in an airport. The hotel has one of those big fluffy white comforters that are so nice. It might even beat getting in at midnight and dealing with my parents then haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296482 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 13:09:38 +0000 HLK208 1296482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs!!! Whenever I'm miserable, I daydream about taking real vacations. You know, because dreaming isn't possible when you don't sleep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296412 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 11:21:44 +0000 Rockies11 1296412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I feel your pain, albeit at a lesser level. We are away for 13 days, fly across country, then when we're there we move around from house to house almost every night (I think the longest we stay is two nights) because my DH's parents are acrimoniously divorced so we have dozens of holiday things to attend on either side of the family. I have a 5 month old who doesn't sleep. I just wish we could stay home and laze around for 13 days rather than undertake this exhausting endeavor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296202 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 01:48:54 +0000 googly-eyes 1296202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs to you!! I would hate everything too!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296161 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 22:54:06 +0000 PinkElephant 1296161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain. Pregnant with a nasty chest cold and not allowed to take anything for, and have an 18 month old sick with a tummy bug...that she's now passed to me. Hubby is not terribly sympathetic, he thinks I'm "bad at being sick" and need to toughen up. Ugh. You're allowed to be a bag humbug in your situation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296131 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 21:57:02 +0000 Mae 1296131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: pshhh no way. You're pregnant and have a sick kid. You don't need a new outlook, you need a bit of sleep and some sympathy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296128 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 21:54:15 +0000 jedeve 1296128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: haha I thought you were going to tell me I needed to change my outlook! Psssh that's not gonna happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296051 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:21:57 +0000 Mae 1296051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: Sounds like you need to work on your "look." I.e. "Man I'm tired" "Me too" *the look* that says "are you f*cking kidding me? I am battling your normal parenting exhaustion with pregnancy exhaustion with home-all-day-with-a-sick-baby exhaustion. Shut your face." </p> <p>Or, you could just say that once and see how it works out for you :) I feel like my husband can sometimes be a one-upper if I ever complain about being tired or not feeling well or whatever, but as soon as he started that with pregnancy I pulled out "the look" pretty quick and he just let me be tired and sick haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1296041 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:03:46 +0000 Beebug 1296041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both sick (throat infections and flu like symptoms) and there's a flight advisory posted with bad weather at both our starting point and destination. I want to crawl in a hole and die, I am so with you, but have no energy to hate anyone right now, ugh :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295981 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 18:25:24 +0000 jedeve 1295981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys. Glad to hear I'm not alone!</p> <p>DH has been bugging me a bit too. I've been super tired with first trimester fatigue. Every time I say I'm tired he lets me know he is too. He's been cleaning the kitchen at night so I can lay down earlier. And helping with the laundry a little more. He is taking LO to daycare in the morning instead of getting him at night but I still get him up and ready. </p> <p>I work three days a week so I do most of our housework. All the cooking and cleaning and bills and grocery shopping. Plus I've been home with a sick kid for most of the past 10 days.</p> <p>I wish he would just let me be more tired. I know I know it's not a contest and comparison is the thief of joy and you can't start doing that in a marriage. But...let me just have this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295814 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:18:14 +0000 LovelyPlum 1295814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would hate everything, too. I'm so sorry for the stress and sickness. I hope LO is on the mend and you can all get some sleep soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295813 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:18:05 +0000 MamaMoose 1295813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to fly home tomorrow too and my LO is currently healthy but I'm sick. So I know how you feel!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295777 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:29:34 +0000 scotchbonnet 1295777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw hugs. I feel your pain. Getting ready to fly trans-atlantic with lo who is fighting a rotten cold and cough. I hope and pray that both our babies feel better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295760 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:15:12 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1295760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs to you, mama! I don't have to travel very far so I am of no use but I definitely know the feeling like everyone around you is taunting you! I hope your LO feels better soon and that you get a little rest this Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295756 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:09:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1295756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. That sucks and I would hate everyone too. </p> <p>I already hate people who don't have to fly for Christmas, but we have a direct flight and a not sick baby. You have every right to be a scrooge right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295752 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:05:30 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1295752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I think it's perfectly acceptable to have those feelings right now. You have a lot going on, and no sleep always makes that worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bah-humbug-flying-with-a-sick-baby#post-1295731 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 13:44:54 +0000 jedeve 1295731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been sick for ten days now. Took him to the dr this am and she said it could be a sinus infection and gave him an antibiotic. We fly cross country tomorrow. </p> <p>I hate everything right now. I hate people who don't have to fly for Christmas. Who didn't have to spend $1300 on plane tickets. Who can get to their destination in one flight not three. Who don't have to drive an hour after they land. I hate the people who aren't flying witha sick kid. I hate the people who are going to hate us for flying with a sick kid. </p> <p>I hate people who are single and posting all over Facebook about how they are spending the day baking and shopping and watching Christmas movies or how they slept in this morning. That's great. My husband and I took turns holding out baby until about 5am when he slept for three hours. I hate how my husband doesn't do well without sleep. I hate that my mom is always telling me how lucky I am and how jealous my sister is that I'm married and pregnant again. Because while yes, it is a blessing, there are times it is just hard and I wish I was on a beach in Mexico. </p> <p>This just sucks. Sorry to be such a downer. And I don't really hate anyone. Too many times to type out strongly dislike though. </p>
