Sick as a Puppy

lJ is sick. He has a nasty cough, a bit of wheezing, and (per doctor) another ear infection! He has also spit up mucus and vomited milk. I've been at home with him for three days. I LOVE my son. But I am definitely dealing with a range of emotions. On one hand, I'm a mother first but on the other I feel anxious about missing work. I also hate to admit this but I miss the "free time" I have when he is not sick and/at daycare. For example, I haven't been to the gym all week. Also, when Leon is sick he becomes super needy. He has been bf pretty much non-stop and he won't sleep in his crib or anywhere outside of my arms. So for the last three nights I have been sitting up,holding him so he can breathe and feeding him on demand. But that's what mommies do, right? I need to go call my mom and thank her! Go call yours!
