I think it worked.

I have been sick since Sunday. Each day has brought new fun symptoms. I am feeling better, but yesterday the coughing began. I heard a clip on Good Morning America that if you put Vick's vapor rub on your feet while you sleep, it will subside your coughs. I didn't hear if it worked or not, but because I am not able to take nyquil, last night I slathered up my feet with Vick's before bed.

I did cough a lot as I was trying to fall asleep...I did not wake up coughing last night. I have not idea how or why, but I think it helped me get a good nights sleep.


As I have been under the weather, I've been trying to keep my distance and not spread around the fun. Eddie has had lots and lots of Daddy time. An unexpected bonus from being sick is that in the last few days Mark has told me repeatedly how much he appreciates all that I do. He said he knew what my days were like...but now he knows what it's like and really appreciates what I do. He also enjoys going to work. :P

Last night I really began to feel human again & I snagged some photos of bath time. I love the first one, he's like - seriously mom!
