Monday, January 18th, 2010Geez peez. I was sick this weekend. Really sick. Which is not only no fun, but when you're pregnant, it's also a little bit scary. Both my husband and my daughter have been around folks who caught a tricky little bug that involved token flu-like symptoms, but blessedly lasted only about 24 hours. Neither one of them caught it, thank goodness, but I guess because my immune system is a little screwy on account on being With Child, I sure enough did.
My awesome husband took over Sunday for me. Even though my daughter had definitely been exposed to this bug (she probably gave it to me seeing as how I give her a minimum of one thousand kisses a day), I kept myself quarantined to our bedroom upstairs watching TV and movies. Normally, this sounds fantastic to me. Parents, you know that an entire day of laying in bed on a weekend watching TV is not only rare but basically unheard of. But being away from her all day was really hard! Hearing her little footsteps running around and hearing her talk and babble and get cranky and play and not being able to participate in any of that with her really stunk!
So unusual, this parenting stuff and it's affect on your priorities.
Anyway, today I am feeling much better.
yes a day in the bed is wonderful, but not when you are sick!
