WAIT, NO sick time!

Last week was the first time I have been sick since giving birth to the Girl. I must say, it was rough. I was personally up at night and then she would be up - my illness and her hunger were not in sync. I thought at one point, I wasn't sure if I could or would pull through. I wanted to call my Mommy to come help me, I wanted to lie in bed and just feed Reese when she needed me . . . really, I wanted a day off.

But, as a new Stay at Home mom, I learned the hard way that I was not getting it. I didn't get anything done around the house . . . our bags from the trip to Rocklin sat all week unpacked. I ate only soup and drank ginger ale, I breastfeed Reeseykins every two hours in hopes that she would not catch what I had.

As day 4 rolled around, I felt much better and by the weekend I was well. It was short lived . . . maybe I lost a few pounds.
