He Lasted One Week...

So, as most of you know...I went back to work on Feb 18th. I had it all worked out that Michael and my mom would coordinate schedules so they could take turns taking care of the boys through the last stretch of February. Ethan started daycare on Monday, March 2nd.

He lasted one week.

Then he got sick.

I took him into the clinic yesterday after I picked the boys up (Michael was in the Dells for a tech conference....I had to fly solo for two days; it was actually quite fun!) and the doctor listened....looked....poked....and said 'It's just viral.' Duh. I could have told him that. BUT, I wanted to get the professional opinion, not self-diagnose, since he is raspy, hoarse, has a loose cough...his cry is so gentle because he has pretty much lost his voice. He still smiles a lot, coos, melts our hearts....but I feel just awful that he is sick. Poor little guy...I just want to stay home and love him up. Let him lay (or is it lie?) on my chest and snuggle in for a good nap. Be home with his mama.

The weekend can't come soon enough.
