In 4.5 years since having kids I've had: 2 flu like viruses with fever over 101 At least one cold about every 6-8 weeks Shingles 3 gastrointestinal viruses
It's dropped off a bit in the last year though, which is good because I was legitimately getting pretty depressed about constantly being sick
If I can make it 6 weeks without a cold or a stomach bug, I celebrate. This is only the case since getting pregnant, before I was fine. If the wind blows too hard, I'll get a diarrhea bug.
Pretty rarely, even with C in daycare and kindergarten. 1-2 times a year my sinuses flare up. But I credit it to student teaching 10yrs ago and working on a college campus since. That semester student teaching was hell after the first 3 days until March afterwards, but I think I became immune to all the things. Plus C never seems to come down with anything more than a mild cold. I'm pretty sure we'll pay for this at some point down the line.
I don't have any kids, but I usually get sick 1-2 times a year, usually a cold. Come to think of it, it's often around Christmas... I hope that's not the case this year!
