Sick Baby/ Sick Mommy

My little love bug got sick for the first time ever really. He was acting a little oddly and then vomited everywhere....including all over my mother. The poor little guy was so scared and didn’t know what was going on. I finally got the clothes off him and got him wiped down and then he wouldn’t let me go for the longest time. He had a low fever for a couple days and we had a reeeaaalllllllyyyy long night, but he got better really fast. Flash forward to two days after the vomit and now Mommy is sick. Thanks to the lupus I can’t fight off common illnesses very well so it hit me pretty hard as a head cold with body aches. As an added bonus I had a treadmill stress test that morning which thankfully I managed to complete and then was exhausted. I then spent two days on the couch. What this means is that Seth got lots of extra screen time. I’ve always been of the opinion that less screen time is best. The tv is usually on during the day for background noise but Seth ignores it while he plays. Since I wasn’t able to chase him much, he spent a good part of the day doing stationary activities in his chair and watching some movies. I learned that sometimes you do what you have to do to get by. Seth is no worse off and probably enjoyed his two day vacation!
