Sick With An Infant

I've learned a few lessons over the past couple days...
1.) South Dakota weather will always ruin your plans. But crying over the fact that its raining and you can't go hike won't do any good. Instead you have to find something else fun for the whole family!
2.) Being deathly ill with a crawling baby is the hardest thing ever. How do you chase around an exploring infant when you're constantly heaving over the toilet?
3.) Not every supervisor in the Air Force is bad. A HUGE thanks to the guys at Matthew's work that covered for him so he could come home.
4.) My husband always has our best interest at heart. Even when it means driving home from work to care for his sick wife and his cranky baby.

I am blessed. Even though I spent almost the entire day yesterday feeling like crud, and barely able to eat or drink anything. And even though I went to bed that night missing my daughter because I was too sick to play and hold her. I am glad that my husband was there to help, to pick up the pieces, to be kind and supportive and understanding. And I am glad that Abby woke up the next morning feeling happy, and excited to see me again.

For the record, hearing your daughter screaming "mama" in her crib while you throw up, probably one of the worst feelings in the world!
