B4S

I am coining a new phrase. B4S. Before Sick. I've noticed a lot of changes to our routine since having sick children for over a week. Specifically with Kai. B4S I would hear him wake up, go into his room and play a game peeking at him through the slats of his crib. Now, I dread him waking up because that means I 'll have to go in and deal with either a) puke everywhere- matted to his head, stuck to his hands... or b) the stinkiest explosion mishaps EVER that somehow the diaper fails to catch. I'm talking to the neck, down both legs mishaps. If it was an extremely good nap I'll get to deal with both. B4S we would have meals at a regular time and take a regular length of time to eat. Now, we have mac & cheese twice a day because that is what Ryan is best at making. (I think we need to work on this). I just don't feel like cooking when everything I make I end up seeing again in a less than favorable situation. B4S I did one load of laundry a day and was always pretty much caught up. Now I do al least 3 loads a day and should be doing 4! This happens when 2 of the loads are crib sheet, blanket, clothes off baby and towel from baby having bath. Yes, the towel gets washed daily because who really knows if everything really came off in the bath? B4S Kai went to bed at 7pm. If he held out that long. Now, he has 2 or 3 really longs naps in the day and stays up later. Today his naps were 2 then 3.5 hrs long. I wonder what time he'll go to bed tonight. Not necessarily a bad thing, just different. One last thing...definitely a good thing...B4S Kai was not a cuddler. Now, all he wants to do for most of the time he's awake is cuddle. Sad he's sick, happy he cuddles!
