Ugh.

It looks like E. and I have picked up the same bad cold. I’m surpised by how fast it developed. Hopefully that means that it will be over soon. On Wednesday we were over visiting a friend who had recently had surgery and her baby was congested and had a drippy nose. I tried to keep E. away from her, but yesterday there were onimous signs: E. was overly tired and cranky and my throat was a little scratchy. Then this afternoon E. started randomly bursting into tears and my head felt like it’s stuffed to bursting with cotton. Being sick or having a sick baby is no fun by itself, but both at once can make me feel overwhelmed (and also whiny–did I mentioned whiny?). I’m grateful that at least it’s a holiday weekend and so will be around to help out. I have to admit that I miss the pre-baby luxury of taking a sick day and being able to sleep all day uninterupted.

I hope your weekend is better than mine is shaping up to be!

  1. Having kids means going from one illness to the next with little to no break in between. It’s a bummer. Hope you both feel better soon!

  2. I hope the both of you cleared up before the end of the weekend so you could enjoy some the holiday with N. at home. I always hate when I waste weekends/holidays being sick – so much better to get sick on a weekday so Jared can spend a sick day waiting on me. 🙂 Or at least keep the kids from mauling me and getting sick themselves.
