Rain Check.

If I had anything planned with you this week, consider it cancelled. This mama is run down! Last night Joe and I slept in shifts as we cared for Matthew through his first fever. Joe swung him in his car seat for about an hour until he fell asleep around 1 am allowing me to sleep for a couple hours until it was my turn to handle the screaming around 4 am to back to sleep in the middle of the bed. I was coming off a previous night of insomnia where I didn't fall sleep until the wee hours of the morning. Joe was coming off four weekends of an introvert's greatest fear - endless socializing. For his part, Matthew is now napping and still has a low grade fever, but is more comfortable. Today and tomorrow, I'll be washing all linens, boiling the pacis, and disinfecting all chew toys and play mats... and hopefully napping.

  1. I'm so sad to hear of all the sickness. Sick babies inspire such empathy! I hope you can all rest.
