Three Fourths--updated to Fourth Fourths

*Update* As expected, they all got it. It was a long night but I think we may have passed the worst of it. We'll all be home for a sick day thought watching lots of cartoons. (Even Ben. The super husband he is took the day off to help me take care of the kids because I barely slept and am not feeling so hot.)

This is one of my worst mommy fears come true. 3 out of the 4 kiddos have a stomach virus. The Princess was up 2 nights ago with it, and I thought we were out of the woods (she was doing a bit better today). But we just cleaned up two little boys, changed their sheets and are waiting to see if they'll go back to sleep or get sick again. (The Little Mister in his crib, Handsome Man on the couch watching Diego.) Bummer...I was just starting to get caught up on the laundry! The Munchkin is the only one not sick so far, but to be honest, I don't have high hopes. She's so helpful with the babies that she'll probably get the germs somehow. And, I'm feeling a bit nauseous myself. THAT is probably my worst mommy fear....that we, including me, all get the bug at the same time. Please pray I stay healthy and that we're not sick too long.  Oh boy, the Handsome Man is getting sick again. Could be a long night.
