Yep, it's Jack's first cold, and we're all on high alert, sort of. First of all, I should say that I blame the people at church who come to church sick or bring their sick kids who cough everywhere. I went to church on Sunday feeling fine, but by Monday evening I was feeling foul.
It's been a rough week full of mucus for all three of us. I went down first, then I brought Jack and Evan down with me. Luckily Jack has been doing pretty well, just being a tad fussier than usual and harder to get to sleep. Speaking of, he just woke up for like the 100th time tonight. Anyway, we're just very grateful it hasn't been more serious. But it did put a damper on our Halloween--we stayed home. Jack's adorable Wonder Bread costume went pretty much unused.
The absolute best part of the week was a 24-hour visit from our friend Colleen! We all rallied enough to be able to enjoy her time here, and we had fun eating Texas dishes like barbecue and chicken-fried steak, plus chocolate chunk pumpkin bread and blueberry pancakes. :) The weather and our health didn't permit for a ton of fun outside the house, but Colleen made it seem fine that we were just hanging out. So cheers to Colleen and to Texas visitors!

First of all, YOU didn't make your baby sick.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I'm sorry that you haven't been feeling well. It's much harder to be a sick mom than a sick 9-5'er, isn't it. :(
Third, if I told you I stayed home from church with Eden today because of her cough would you think I was cool? Cuz I think everyone else thinks I'm just inactive. I've actually had people tell me they still go to church with pneumonia, as though I'm supposed to congratulate them for their toughness.
Lastly, PLEASE play dressup with Jack (once he's feeling better) and post pictures. Sharing photos with friends is the greatest use of a costume I can think of. :)
Awww, well if he had to get sick for Halloween at least it happened when he was too young to be sad about missing out!!! I agree with Becky that I hope there will still be pics at some point. =)
ReplyDeleteHope you're all on the mend!
I had so much fun visiting with you! I'm having little Jack withdrawls - he is too cute, even when he is sick.
