I *can't* get sick. I can't. I can't. The baby needs me. Chip is still sick, but he *has* to go to work Monday.

The baby is up screaming all night, every night. He's totally digestively not coping, and the only position that doesn't hurt him seems to be completely upright. And so far I can't figure out how to sleep while holding him that way.

(He also completely flung himself out of Chip's arms, and I still don't know how Chip managed to catch him, so, as at this point my wrists have given out and keep shaking, I pretty much only dare hold him on the bed or somewhere else where if I couldn't hold on to him he'd be ok.)

I can't get sick. My whole body aches, but I *can't* get sick.

If Chip with his iron clad immune system got this sick, we *definitely* don't want to be exposing other people to this yet, especially you. (This is apparently the thing that went around Arisia this year, at least it sounds like the same symptoms a lot of other people are describing.)

Chip is starting to get better, and hopefully I am just exhausted and not getting sick. We shall see.

Later in the week, if Chip is still sick and having to work anyway, I may want some help during the day, but, as Chip is finally recovering, I think I'm ok for now.

Now if I can just figure out what is upsetting poor Benjamin's stomach so much and *fix* the problem...

I'd eliminate dairy from your diet first. That seems to be the worst culprit, from what I've seen, when infants get upset tummies. I'm so grateful I didn't have to deal with that, with Ilana. If you need to call for a voice of sanity or just to vent, please do. I'm going to try and stay up until 11.
