babies and sickness

I've never gotten sick much.  Just the normal once-every-few-years flu.  

After Mia was born, she got very sick.  She recovered and then we all got sick again That was in December of 2008.  

The next year, December of 2009, I was 6 months pregnant with Eva.  I felt fine all day and went to bed with zero symptoms.  I woke up very ill.  After an exhausting night, I was completely dehydrated.  My OB sent me to the emergency room where they gave me 3 bags of fluids.  The nurses read me the riot act for not getting the H1N1 shot.

December 2010 we had a respite.  None of the Amadors suffered from the flu.  Praise the Lord! 

It is now December 2011 and I spent this week so sick.  Just me.  Oh, and we were excited to find out only a week ago that we are indeed expecting again!  

Now what?  I was so sick with the flu when I was pregnant with Eva.  What if that made things harder on Eva?  The dehydration could not have been a good thing!  This baby is so tiny.... where is the Lord leading us on this journey?
