First major illness as a mom

I am just getting over having Strep throat. It really knocked me out. I was out of work for nearly a week and Grant did nearly all Noah-related duties because I didn't want to get Noah sick (though I actually think I got it from him as what adult randomly gets Strep throat?).

Moms really can't get sick. It is no good. It was breaking my heart not playing or cuddling Noah. And he wanted me to carry him so badly and would stand up holding my legs and reach up for me. It was terrible. I still was breastfeeding, but I would wear a mask, which he found to be hilarious, so that was really the only contact I got with my little boy.

Additionally, I feel that Noah is kind of a sickly kid, so I really can't be missing a week of work being sick myself. I am having serious guilt about working because between job interviews, Noah being sick, and me being counter-sick I haven't worked a full week in a while. Not good.

The silver lining in all of this is that Grant did a great job as primary parent. Grant and Noah really bonded while I was sick and are extra good buddies now. Cute.
