Sickness is spreading

So today DH is sick (sore throat, congestion & body aches)...and Hannah's gotten worse. I wonder if she too has a sore throat. Who can tell? It's not like she can tell us. She looks bad though. She has puffy eyes with bags under them and her nose is drippy. The clear drippy is now sometimes cloudy and becoming tinted with color. They are both in bed now as I post (have been in bed for awhile as I've continued with house chores & my wind-down time). They both need lots of rest. I hope I don't come down with whatever it is. My body has been feeling achy, but that's been an ongoing postpartum thing. I try to rest as much as possible in general and drink lots of fluids, so hopefully my immune system is up for the fight.

Hannah threw up all over the bed this afternoon. Poor thing can't breathe well b/c she's congested. She tries to nurse, but her nose only has partial ability to breathe. She'd fall asleep and then wake up due to not being able to breathe if she changed her sleeping position. So after an exhausting time of putting her down to sleep, I thought she was down. Then she cried for a bit, and then was quiet. Then she cried a bit again...nothing way too out of the ordinary, so I let her CIO. I checked on her after it was silent, and she was sleeping. Later on, when I checked on her again near the end of her nap, and I noticed a funny smell. She'd thrown up everywhere, and I guess I hadn't noticed earlier! It was all over the bed, on her outfit, in her hair. I felt totally bad and wondered it she'd thrown up when CIO. She's only thrown up one other time while we let her CIO and that was last month, and I didn't let her CIO after that very much. I felt so bad, and just babied her after that, holding her close and cuddling with her.

I guess it's a time for lots of messy firsts. Yesterday she had her first official blow-out since her 1st or 2nd week of life. The blow-out in that 1st month was a tiny leak and because we were trying some diaper samples - White Cloud, and they weren't very good. Yesterday, she didn't poo in the morning or even later on when I took her to the toilet. In the afternoon, I left her in the disposables, and just let her crawl around. Then I guess due to fact she was on her belly crawling around, and the mass of the poo, it squished out the front. Yuk!

So yesterday I started disinfecting all her toys, and today I've continued disinfecting toys and other Hannah touched and touchable stuff around the house. I've washed all of the covers on the car seat, the jumperoo, the rocking seat, the baby carrier etc. Still a lot more to disinfect. I'm upping my normal vigilance to "code red" and will probably disinfect/wash everything again throughout and after the sickness.

So she's gotten better at crawling just in the last week. Here's a video of her from Saturday.
