Everyone in my house has been sick over the past week with a gross head cold. LO got it first and got better first, and then DH and then me. DH has been so freaking whiny and is letting the fact that he's sick excuse being nasty and grumpy to me.
What he doesn't seem to understand is that he can at least take good cold medicine (I can't because I'm still bf-ing), and he doesn't wake up at 4 am when the baby cries like I do. So really, I have it much worse ![]()
And I managed to clean our (disgustingly gross) bathroom, clean the dining room, do 5 loads of laundry and organize our linen closet this weekend while I was sick. He moaned.
Re: I feel like I have two LOs
Just an FYI, you can probably take a nasal spray decongestant (like Afrin). I took that a few times when I was sick and BFing, and I had zero problems. It also starts working immediately (like in less than a minute), so you get instant relief. And you can also take tylenol or ibuprofen, of course.

I need to leave the house when my husband gets sick. It's unreal how big of a baby he is.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
husband = another baby
when he's sick, it's worse than when the kids are sick, b/c he hurts so much and omg he's dying and omg no one has ever been this sick, ever, in the history of the world.

You can also take Claratin, which is what I take even when not pg/bfing because regular cold meds knock me out.
