I remember the days where I used to like being sick. It got me out of things. It got me out of school and I could get an extra day to study for that test or finish that homework assignment. I could get the day off of work to just lay at home and do absolutely nothing. Selfishly, I'll admit I even wished for a day or two to be sick while Wyatt was in the hospital just so I could take a day off and not feel bad it.
As a new mother though... being sick with a baby at home... No bueno.
Today I feel like complete crap. And it's the undiagnosable kind. I'm freezing, my skin hurts everywhere, my muscles ache and I have a headache. But no temperature what to speak of. I don't know what's wrong with me, and this came completely out of left field. I haven't even been around sick people. I've been soooo careful not to because I don't want to risk Wyatt getting sick. Nevertheless, here I am. Sick, feeling like crap, and feeling sorry for myself for feeling like crap.
It's a good thing I have a knight in shining armor to save me. He got up in the middle of the night to take my temp. and put an extra blanket on me. When it was time to get up and feed Wyatt, I got up and really tried to do it. I felt weak everywhere and felt so crappy that the first 10 minutes I just cried {and felt pathetic for doing so}. Wyatt was really squirmy and fussy and I was afraid I was going to drop him, so my awesome husband got up and finished feeding him for me.
I love that man.
When I woke up at 8 to feed Wyatt I was feeling much better, but by the time he was done eating I felt like death again. I think Wyatt has a pretty good sixth sense because he has been such a good boy for me today. Thanks baby! We've been super lazy. Like, he didn't get his bath until 2 this afternoon lazy. I'm so glad he's been a good boy for me today. The men in my life rock. :)
Hopefully I'll feel like a new woman tomorrow.
Hope you are feeling better. I can relate. No sick days for Mommies
