Interesting Week Thus Far




Well I know it's been several days since I posted last but it has been an interesting week so far. We all know what little germ factories our 5 year olds can be but boy, did Logan ever bring home a good one this time. It all started with him the wee hours of Saturday morning...vomiting, diarrhea, and lasted about 48 hours. Darrell and Logan were quarantined upstairs while Brooks and I stayed downstairs, in hopes that we would not get this ugly bug. Much to my dismay, Darrell came down with it on Sunday evening and I started showing signs Monday morning. Well Monday was to be my first day back to work; obviously that didn't happen nor did Tuesday. I thought we were in the clear with Brooks but he woke up with it this morning. Talk about breaking your heart....seeing and hearing your 3 month old baby crying with the same aches and discomforts that you know you had while fighting it off, plus it worries you half to death with a baby this young. He's being a little trooper though. I've managed to get a few smiles out of him today (see pictures above) despite his feeling miserable. Its hard to see him like this because he is usually the exact opposite. I know this to shall pass. I have disinfected my house to the best of my ability. I will be glad to say goodbye to this bug.

The plan is for me to start back to work tomorrow and Daddy stay home with Brooks. Hopefully, it won't be a long night and Brooks will be able to rest. I'm ready for life to be back to normal. Until then, I have ALOT of laundry and cleaning to catch up on. Hope everyone else is having a good week.
