Sick

Three days back at work and I've already gotten sick. I was planning on calling out of work tomorrow because I feel so awful, but the assistant director hasn't called me back and I'm too scared to call my boss because I just know she is going to be so angry with me. So, instead, I'm just going to load up on meds (those that are safe while breastfeeding, that is) and suck it up and go in. Thankfully tomorrow is a short day - school closes at 3, and then it is closed the next day as well for Passover. I also have a dentists appointment tomorrow after work at 4 because one of my fillings fell out, but I'm not sure if they will let me come in if I am sick. I am going to call them tomorrow morning and ask if it is okay for me to still come in.

Anyway - yesterday was an exciting day. I woke up with a sore throat, but wasn't feeling that sick yet. We had a few guests over - LE, her husband Dan, and Alexsei (LE and Alexei are Enzio's friends from elementary school) and they got to meet Laila for the first time. LE was so sweet with her , while Alexsei seemed scared of hurting her so avoided picking her up. I've noticed this among a few men, it's kind of funny actually. Enzio's dad and my Grandpa are the same exact way. Anyway, it was very nice seeing them. Enzio and Alexsei went out that night with Enzio's brother in Brooklyn, and Laila and I went to my parent's house for the night. It was nice until I woke up the next morning (today) feeling like crap! I couldn't get out of bed until about noon (thankfully my mom and dad watched Laila for me) and when I got home I took a nap and have been in bed ever since.

Being sick with a baby sucks. A lot. And here's why - not only do you feel like crap, but you are also terrified of getting your baby sick. No kissing their little faces, having to avoid facing them as much as possible so you don't breathe on them when they are close to you, etc. etc. And on top of it all you can't even get a good nights sleep.
