Sick Mamma

I have a cold. Normally I'm pretty good about colds, I don't let them slow me down and work through them like a champ. This one shouldn't even be so bad, but it would help if I'd stop trying to do too much other than take care of Wiley, since that's the only real obligation I can't postpone.

I think Wiley may be slightly sick, too, though if he is he's taking it like a trooper. He sneezes some, which he always has, but he also has had a mildly stuffy nose and the most distressing one to me is a cough that sounds like mine when I'm sick and my throat hurts. He doesn't cough all that much so we're not too worried.

I've been trying to get the title to my car transferred into my name (it was my grandmother's car) and a new tag because my old one expired in August... But every time we try we run out of time because it takes entirely too long to renew tags now that they've shut down some of the satellite DMVs (of course, the safer, more convenient ones)... Yay government.

Tomorrow we have Wiley's one month visit, I can't wait to see what the doctor says... except that he's possibly got a cold. I'm trying to get my breast milk in him so that he can get his sweet self well! In the meantime, we're napping together (yes, in the same bed) quite a bit. He was so fussy yesterday, I laid down in bed with him and nursed him 'til he fell asleep and I could fall asleep. We're both sick, we both need the sleep and so far I have yet to move in my sleep. I'm acutely aware he's beside me. The only reason I sleep better knowing he's right under me is because he sleeps better and longer, especially yesterday since he was fussy. Amazingly, I thought we were going to have to let him sleep with us last night but because he'd gotten such good sleep in with me that he wasn't fussy we managed to get him to sleep in his cradle all night so mommy and daddy could have the bed to themselves.

I was planning on posting more, but to get him to sleep again I had to side-lying nurse him and so now I'm in an awkward position beside him trying to type... When he's older I'll get better at this posting thing, I swear.

Sick buddies... except Lupe isn't sick, just taking advantage of the situation.
