We've been relatively unaffected by the cold and flu season this year except for a brief bout early in November. I had a flu shot and perhaps consequently have remained perfectly healthy in that respect fortunately. I know being sick with the flu while pregnant is like stabbing oneself repeatedly in the eye with a steak knife.
However, SP woke this morning with a horrendous cough. And I thought, "now? -are you serious?"
I'm not used to being concerned about her ever making anyone else in the family sick (we're adults and can handle it better) - just the opposite. It's always a wage against the rest of the world so that SHE doesn't get sick. But I find myself fast-forwarding two days to when she's holding my brand new baby...and coughing all over her.
Ugh. At least I have a couple of days to try to get her better. I feel bad being mainly concerned for the new baby but hey, I've spent nearly 5 years being solely concerned about SP's health. I've seen too many RSV babies and it literally scares me to death!
p.s. I think it's time I picked a new bloggy name for SP. It just doesn't seem right anymore, does it? Ideas? Oh, and I'll need one for the baby too.
Good luck with getting her better quickly. That stinks for her and for the circumstances. Best of Luck in all of your endeavors this week. May all go well. I will be waiting for news :).
ReplyDeleteHey Buddy, you and DH are more likely to get sick than baby. She is the healthiest she will be and she will be getting a ton of great things from Mommy's milk that will help her immune system.
ReplyDeletePraying for you!
