About a week and a half ago Husband got a cold, and I picked it up a few days later when he was feeling mostly better. Thankfully, Jeric didn't get it.
On Monday this week I woke up with an upset stomach and spent most of the day in the bathroom (I'll spare you the details). Poor Jeric. I was so weak and nauseated I couldn't even lift him (what, he's getting heavy!), so he spent most of the day in the living room in the swing watching Disney movies. (I know, I'm a terrible mother. But what could I do? )
Tuesday was much the same but I felt less sick, just weak.
Wednesday I felt sick again, and very weak, because I hadn't had more than 2 pieces of dry toast and some water since SUNDAY NIGHT.
Thursday, finally, I felt human again.
And I signed on to my email, and there were a LOT.
And I got on my Google Reader, and there were even MORE (I'm marking a bunch of things as read without reading them).
And I don't know when or how I'm going to catch up on the housework.
But I think Jeric suffered the most. He was so desperate to play with Mommy, and Mommy did the best she could and did play a little bit every day (breathing in the opposite direction and washing her hands thoroughly multiple times before touching the child) but it just wasn't enough, so we cuddled pretty much all day today (Thursday, I know it's past midnight and actually Friday, but for some reason I can't sleep).
AND IT WAS FABULOUS. I love that kid.
(Thankfully Husband didn't catch this particular bug and was able to help out a lot in the evenings after work and school, and Jeric hasn't shown any signs of sickness so far.)

I'm glad Joshua didn't get sick. It is SO awful when your babies are sick. One of the worst feelings in the world...
Being sick when you're the mommy is one of the hardest things, I think. I'm glad you're feeling better. Stomach bugs are terrible. Terrible.
