This has not been an easy week for us. Brandon caught us by surprise with a stomach virus Saturday night, then Sunday night started with a fever that just kept climbing all the way to 104 and stayed there. Monday I took him to the doctor and they said to just keep up with the Tylenol, warm baths, and hydrate him. Sunday we made it our sole job in life to hydrate Brandon, which wasn't an easy task, he didn't want to drink anything, all he wanted was sleep. I couldn't blame him, he was up all night vomiting + a sky high fever, that would knock anyone out.
The worst was Tuesday when I got sick while Brandon was just on the mend. Luckily Paul came to the "Daddy Rescue" and worked from home for two days. I was so happy we had him with us because I could barley stand for 30 seconds without nearly fainting. My bug wasn't as bad as Brandon's. I skipped the fever all together, Paul was very happy about this because he didn't want to think about me with a fever + being pregnant, I'm guessing a high fever while pregnant isn't a safe thing?
Today Paul went back to the office and Brandon and I got out of the house this morning with a trip to National Harbor to walk around and visit the Peep &Co Shop (marshmallow peep shop) it was a short trip, but totally worth getting out of the house for an hour or so. Now we are just keeping our fingers crossed that Daddy doesn't get sick after taking care of the peanut and I for 5 days. We've been trying to keep away from him if all possible. He's been eating cereal for dinner and sleeping in the guest room for 2 nights now. The moment we all feel better I'm going to be cooking him a big thank you for taking care of us dinner.
