Daddy to the rescue!

A couple days ago I felt my sinuses starting to act up.  Oh no!  I got my flu shot at work and shortly after I started to feel off (I know it can't make you feel sick that fast, but I'm just saying).  Yesterday when I got off work I felt like butt.  Symptoms: nasal congestion, sore throat, sinus pain/pressure, nausea, cough.  I started researching meds online that I could take while breastfeeding.  Not many!  So I'm suffering on Tylenol, which doesn't do much. 

To make matters worse, Ava is on a kick of waking up every 2-3 hours in the night for the past 2 nights.  This past week she's learned how to babble, so when she wakes up in the night she just talks and laughs and chats with herself.  One time we laid her in her crib because she was keeping us awake, and she talked to the wall for 45 minutes, completely entertained.  I hope last night was the last night of this, and she'll sleep good again tonight.
 
This morning Ava was up at 5am (previously up at 3am and I put her back to bed at 3:45).  I felt like someone had kicked me in the head.  Oh I almost barfed.  Mike offered to stay home, which he offers often but I've never accepted.  Today I took him up on his offer.  He stayed up with Ava and I went back to bed until 9:30am.  It was awesome, just what I needed.  He went into work at 10 and I took over.  Today has been good so far.  Baby-world doesn't stop revolving, even when Momma's sick.  There are still bottles to scrub, clothes to wash, errands to run, diapers to change, mouth to feed, etc.  We have a weekend at home this week, so I'm hoping I can enjoy it!
