MIA: Flu, Viruses, and Other Pretty Things

The three of us outside today, for the first time in more than a week (baby in wrap under my coat), first real snow of the season, below zero.

So I got a break from blogging, but not in the way I wanted. We haven't been so sick in a very long time. A great reminder of how mortal we are... We're finally getting over this virus/flu thing, whatever it was. Fever for four days for my toddler, non-stop. One of those days she cried and whined from the moment she woke up to the moment she went to bed. Now that was a trying day. With the two month old in my arms, with a fever as well, I tried to comfort baby E. 

She just wanted me to hold her.

Somehow I think she had it the worst because she really misses the time it was just the two of us at home all day. Playing hide-and-seek, building forts, making cookies. As much as I try to devote some time to her alone, it's nearly impossible with so many diaper changes, nursing sessions, and holding-infant-crying-for-no-reason moments. Never mind that I had a fever as well, no sick days here. Being sick wasn't half as painful as watching my little ones suffer!
