Being sick sucks. Sure, there's the freeze pops and the fact you are supposed to just lay on the couch and no one can bug you about it.
But I miss interacting with Hannah so much. I miss picking her up and spinning her around. I miss playing Peekaboo. But most of all, I miss cuddling with her.
I don't want to get her sick, so I'm staying as far away as possible. Hopefully my Tylenol Cold medication will kill all my sick germs tonight so I can get some baby cuddles tomorrow.
How do you deal with your Mom duties when you're sick?

Ugh. There's nothing worst than having to take care of a baby when you're sick. When my daughter was about 2 months old, I had mastitis. I don't know if you've ever had it, but not only is it painful, you get a fever, become incredibly weak, and it feels like the worst flu you've ever had. My husband was away, and I was so weak, I could barely lift my daughter. All of my family lives across the country so I literally had no help. It was such a scary feeling to not be able to rely on my own body, and to know that I had this immense responsibility of caring for a newborn. Thankfully, I managed to get on antibiotics pretty quickly, and improved rapidly....I hope your cold feels better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteYikes! I am so sorry you had to deal with that all alone. I'm happy the antibiotics worked.
ReplyDeleteCold is much better thanks, almost back to normal!
