Sick, but with a silver lining.

I called the Healthy Beginnings Hotline: "I'm dizzy and nauseous... should I still breastfeed my baby?"

I continued to feed James as the nurse advised ("He's already been exposed, and your breast milk will have antibodies to help him.")  But also tried to rest and stay in bed.  Paul fed James EBM (expressed breast milk) when I was asleep and changed diapers.  And thankfully, the worst of it seems over.

So relieved we don't need to go to another doctor (there's already been too many visits).

The episode derailed our weekend plans (Beth was going to visit -- she soothed and sent her support over the phone instead).  But it's good to see Paul take care of James.  If anything does happen to me, he'll be there for him.
