Zachary is sick............but getting better.


He is finally feeling better but Zach has been sick for the last couple of days. Those of you who know Zach, know he is pretty pleasant to be around and he enjoys his food. Starting Tuesday morning (EARLY) he woke up and was just crying incessantly. I had to leave at 5:30 am so Doug took over and both passed out EXHAUSTED.


A few hours and about 8 messages from Doug later. We knew it was time to go to the Doctor. Zach was still crying and (time for a gasp) hadn't wanted to eat anything!


So we went to the Doctor with a burning up, red cheeked Zachary. Turns out Zach had a fever of 102.7. He also had a virus so the combo meant a few days home from school.


While it is stressful to balance mom life and work life, especially mom life and work life simultaneously literally, at the same time (working from home), there is nothing better than getting to take care of my baby boy. Even when he is sick and falls asleep while sitting up and will only be happy when he is held, then will fall asleep again, but on your shoulder.


I hate that he has been sick, but he manages to even turn this miserable time for him into a precious moment for me.


How can you not love this little guy.

That is the truth! Enjoy all those precious moments, it goes by so fast.

Cherish them now, because when you have another little one, you won't get that precious time. You'll have another one wanting the same attention. AH! Sometimes I feel like I have kids crawling all over me! Most of the time, I literally DO have kids climbing all over me. Isn't it funny how our parenting experiences are so different, yet both awesome?
