Do Not Enter

playing peek-a-boo in the crib... ;)

I don't think any amount of Lysol could eliminate the germs in this house! It's awful. It started with Lainey on Saturday evening - she had a questionable diaper. Then I woke up with a stomach bug and slight fever Sunday morning, and the previous night's questionable diaper evolved into a confirmed case of grossness. Tuesday comes, and we go to the doctor for Lainey and she has rotavirus. She was vaccinated for it, but she still seems to have gotten a light case of it. Then yesterday, Ben left work to come home because he was sick with the stomach bug...and he's been truly in bed since yesterday afternoon, sleeping and trying to feel better. Last night was a long night for Reagan, Lainey and me (not going to go into details, but it involved changing sheets, changing diapers, and several pacifier plugs and one nighttime feeding just to get her settled). I hope tonight goes better! We need to get well around here. I am Lysol-ing like a mad woman but feel that our house needs a good deep clean to get rid of the germs!

There are some benefits to this madness: 

1. It's giving Lainey and I a lot of bonding time. She doesn't want to be set down when she's not feeling well, apparently, so I'm toting her around on my hip and learning to do (more) things one-handed.

2. As a by-product of #1, she's actually being a little snuggle baby. I love it. She'll just sit with me and let me hold her and sometimes she'll fall asleep. Sweet since she is so wiggly when she's well. 

3. I don't have to get dressed (or get the baby dressed) until I absolutely can't stand it anymore because we aren't leaving the house these days. Yesterday it was 1:30. Today... maybe later. 

4. Ben is catching up on sleep. That's always good. :) 

5. I'm not out spending money. That's good. :)
