My head must have been in the clouds for all those years I thought about having a baby. Sure, I knew there would be dirty diapers and sleepless nights and of course the indescribable happiness said baby provides but there’s also new things that crop up every so often that I never really gave much thought to. One of them? There’s no sick days when it comes to having a baby. For the past day, I’ve been slowly getting sicker…more congested, more feels-like-I’m-swallowing-broken-glass, more just freaking exhausted. But now there’s no calling out sick and spending the day on the couch surrounded by wadded up tissues. Apparently I’m still expected to function normally. And much to my dismay, my husband can’t just stay home from work on a whim just so I can curl up in bed for hours on end. So today I’m thanking God for the miserable rainy weather so that I don’t feel bad that we don’t go for our daily walk. I also won’t feel bad for curling up on the couch and trying to convince Gabe that he wants to lie still and watch Wendy Williams.

Oh wow...this is something I've never even considered. Oh my. I'm now going to enjoy a few more years of wallowing in self-pity on my sick days...hours and hours of horrific snacks and TV drivel.
Sending virtual chicken noodle soup your way! :)
Hey, I can't view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.
Yep - the no sick day thing is hard to get used to. Hope you feel much better soon!
That stinks! I hope you feel better soon. :)
I hear ya! Edward just turned 3 weeks old today. My hubby owns his own business, so sometimes he is home during the day - but most of the time he isn't. When I get really sick...it just sucks. I got food poisoning the other night and my hubby was asleep after a hard day of work and I didn't want to wake him. I was up all night vomitting...and poor little Edward had to cry it out for a while until mommy re-couped. We mommies sure go through it! Take care hun - and get better soon! =)
Bummer. I've been sick, too, and I can hardly take care of myself. I can't image caring for a handsome little man, too.
Hope you feel better soon.
ugh I hear ya sister. I had an awful cold when Holden was 6 weeks old and I actually tried to get him to just lay in bed and breast feed ALL day long just so I could get some rest lol. Who knew you don't get sick days as a mom? ;)
Yes - the no sick day issue is not clearly defined before hand. Get well soon!
feel better homey!! Try to take naps when Gabe falls asleep. And drink lots of fluids. And eat warm comfy foods. And take my unsolicited advice!
