Sharing

My poor little family.  I thought we were over the hump when I got better from the virus that racked me last week... and I was proud of myself for transferring my antibodies to my precious Bunny, but alas, it's not over yet! Bunny woke up screaming last night with a 100.5 fever, and my husband has been sick since yesterday.  So today, I took another day off work so I can take care of them.  We'll be returning to the newborn days where all we did was hold Bunny and rock her when the colic was really bad.  I do want her to learn to take naps on her own, but today I'll rock her to sleep and nurse her to sleep and let her sleep in my arms all she wants.  Last night, she slept in our bed for half of the night because with the fever, it was the only way she slept soundly.  It means that I did NOT sleep soundly.  I don't like the idea of sleeping with Bunny because I'm always afraid I'll smush her or she'll smother in the pillows or against me and my husband, but last night I was just really careful, and I held her in my breastfeeding hold (I curl up next to her and she feeds while we both lay down) and slept lightly to allow her to sleep deeply. She's had two doses of infant Tylenol and I think the fever may have broken because she's cool for the first time and also a little sweaty.  I won't know, though til the Tylenol wears off which will be in about 15 minutes.  Oh, my poor little family! I like sharing but this is not what I had in mind...
