This week has been the hardest . . . but I'm feeling better, and even better knowing that I got through it. On Monday I started experiencing body aches and was feeling so weak. The next day, I was experiencing even worse body aches, a headache and the chills, it was awful. Through all of this I was also taking care of Taylor by myself. He might have caught the virus I had because he then broke out in a rash which is usually caused by a viral infection, My skin had also broken out too, thankfully he didn't have a fever and was smiling despite looking like a little strawberry, haha. My poor baby. I thought 'is he going to look like this forever?' I debated bringing him to the hospital and telling them to bring him back when he's looking better haha, I couldn't stand not being able to help him. We're still getting over this virus, but it's safe to say the worst is over. Taylor and I are both resting while catching up on 'The Walking Dead' (I cover his eyes during the scary parts!)
He's so active and requires all of my attention. "It gets hard, then easy, then hard, then easy" that's a saying I remember reading from an article about parenting and taking care of a new baby. The hard part of taking care of Taylor is adjusting to a new change in his abilities. Now that he's more aware of his surroundings and reacts more with emotion, I've got to learn to adapt to this. Before he was just an easy-going baby who only cried when he was hungry or needed to burp. Now he cries when he wants comfort, or is just a little over tired. So once I'm use to this stage, I then can consider it easy . . . until he learns something new. I'm learning too!
I should probably sleep now, good night.
