Ho, Ho, ugh...

We've been extremely busy lately, so yesterday's illness totally blindsided us.  Ryan started to feel poorly on Friday night when I got home from a girlfriend's baby shower and it continued thru Saturday. He was a trooper though - we had another baby shower Saturday and he even watched Rowan Saturday night, so I could attend my annual girls group Christmas gathering. So, yesterday when I woke up (he let me sleep in until 10:30am), I was really pleased to hear that Daddy was feeling better.  Then, around 1pm we both started to feel terrible and it only got worse from there!  Both parents running into separate bathrooms and taking care of a 10 week old little boy was not our idea of fun.  But, Rowan was a champion.  We weren't sure what got us sick (flu, food, etc.) and were worried about getting Rowan sick, so we called his pediatrician and they suggested that we refrain from holding him and kissing him to be on the safe side and to wash our hands a lot.  Rowan pretty much hung out in his bouncy seat all day which was really tough for us!  The silver lining in all of this is that after his nighttime feeding he slept for 7.5 hours!!!!  That was Rowan's longest sleep to date.
