Sickness has Struck

     Labor day weekend was great until 5:00pm on Monday night. We were getting ready for Sara's birthday dinner when all of a sudden I didn't feel good. It hit hard and fast. I was sick from 5:00pm to 4:00am straight.  Chris was in charge & took very good care of his two girls.
 Around 6:00am after Caroline's night feeding it hit Chris.  He got really sick & went straight to bed.  I was weak, dehydrated & couldn't carry around my 16 lb baby.  When she woke up I had to put her in her walker and push her around the house. It felt good to stay stooped over. She really wanted to snuggle and be held but I restrained myself.  I took her to daycare in her PJ's. & went to work for a little while.
  After I squared everything away I took 1/2 a day and came home to Chris.  We both slept till 5:00 pm.  I picked up the baby & Chicken Noodle soup from Chick-fi-la & came home.  Caroline had to hang out in the baby Einstein and her walker because I was still having trouble with my strength. After eating and sleeping I feel so much better
   Chris was finally feeling better today. He requested wings for dinner.  I think he was so hungry he would have eaten tuna.

Thankfully Caroline didn't get sick.  I have bleached all her toys & disinfected the house. We are glad we made it out alive. 

I meant to post this pic last week when Nana, Mimi, Papaw & Kelley came to see us.  Nana fed Caroline dinner while Mimi and Pip supervised.

  2. Oh no, not you guys too??? I've been sick on and off for 2 weeks. I took the last 2 days off of work and thinking I could care for Cooper was a big mistake. I had my mom come get him and the other day she took him to daycare. It sucks! Hopefully everyone is on the mend.
    Take care, Rachael
