I’m sick.
I felt it coming for a few days now, but ignored it like it was my high school art teacher in the grocery store. Now I have no choice but to face the fact that someone broke into my house and clawed my throat with knives.
The worst part is that the baby is sick now, too. I was told that if babies were exclusively breastfed, they wouldn’t get sick. This was a big, fat lie. Why did you lie to me?
This morning Waylon woke up coughing, sputtering, and sweating like a college freshman who took his first shot of gin. I did the same. For a moment I wondered if we were both dying. After an hour or so of gentle jostling and the battle of the medicine syringe, we were both exhausted. He looked so pathetic that I immediately gave in and did two things I promised myself I would not do. I turned on Sesame Street and gave him his most coveted object, my phone. He was very pleased.
Now he naps upstairs while I sit here googling “how to make the baby not be sick” and “my ears are closed I hate this.”
Anyways, I’m going to go lie down.
The End.

Like an art teacher in a grocery store.
Obviously the illness hasn’t affected your humor.
Feel better !!!
Did you think moms got sick days? I’m sorry.
Well, at least he hasn’t been sick for 6 weeks (Jada).
I’d bring you homemade pasta for supper if you lived closer.
Sorry Kate, but all I could do was laugh as I read this… AJ xxoo
My baby was breastfed until 11 months old and was sick approximately 23820938 times and I was home often. Freaking liars. get well!
I laughed. Feel better.
I hate hate hate when my ears are closed.
I look for the nanny every day. I never find her.
aw look at the poor sicky babe. i hope you guys start to feel better soon.
but in the mean time- you’ll have an excuse to eat ice cream!
and what is it with kids and phones? if sam isn’t listening to me, i say, “i’ll give you my phone if you stop climbing on the table” and sure enough, he gets off that table.
everyone is sick! but sick babies are THE WORST. take a hot shower together – that always amused my babies and cleared up some sinus issues.
feel better. xoxo.
I thought breastfed babies wouldn’t get sick either… liars! It is a whole different story to be sick as mom… there is no option to just lay in bed and moan… sadly! I hope you feel better soon!
Oh, and I google all types of stuff like that as soon as my baby shows signs of something… sometimes I do find a good idea.
i hope you all feel better soon! i’m sad it’s not true about breastfeed babies, I believed it too! i feel like people told me they won’t get sick, who was it that told us this?!?
