"Mommy" and "Sickness" DO NOT go together

Being sick and being a mommy are two things that don’t go well together. Two days ago I started feeling really bad. My head starting hurting and my throat got all sore and I became congested. I figured it was just from all the pollen (even though I’ve never had bad allergies) and went on with my day. Yesterday I got to feeling a whole lot worse. I went to work but all I wanted to do was crawl back in the bed. I called the doctor and got an appointment yesterday morning. Turns out, I really am sick. I had 101.9 fever. He never did tell me exactly what was wrong, only that it looked like I had an upper repertory infection, except I had fever and you normally don’t run fever with that. He said I was contagious and wrote me 2 prescriptions. He said to stay away from my 4 month old. I went on home for the day to try to rest.

I really hope Connor does not catch this. As hard as it was for me last night, I didn’t hold him at all; I didn’t really even get near him. It is such an awful feeling knowing that he is right there looking at me and I can’t even go over and give him a little kiss. I can’t tell you how sad that made me. I couldn’t feed him, or give him his bath, or tuck him in. I’m really lucky to have such a great husband that handled everything last night without a single complaint. I just don’t want either one of them to catch this and I’m ready to feel better and snuggle with both my boys! Mommys don't have time to get sick.
