You've come a Long way, baby

One week in, and daycare has already taken its toll on the Long family.

By the end of Larkin's first week of daycare she had already been afflicted by a head-to-toe rash of pink dots and a head cold, thanks to her runny-nosed classmate Eli.

She had a fever on Saturday and slept the entire way to Dallas, where we celebrated Stephanie's 27th birthday. Larkin felt better on Sunday, but then I started to feel crummy last night.

Today I only made it through half of the workday before I headed home to try to sleep it off. I napped all afternoon, and it was heavenly.

After his lunch meeting, Matt texted me that he needed a nap, too. Eli's cold took us all out!

I can't take any medicine for my cold because it will affect my milk production, so instead my medicine of choice has been matzoh ball soup from Katz's, Tylenol, lemon-lime Gatorade and lots of Kleenex.

So far it's working, and I'm off to bed early again tonight so that I hopefully will feel back to normal tomorrow.
