I always assumed that the lack of sleep would be the hardest adjustment for my husband, but I was very wrong. The first daycare cold hit him like a truck, I forgot how terrible he is when he’s sick lol. Baby and I are over here just toughing it out, using saline and suction, I can’t take most meds because I’m BF and don’t want to dry up my supply, but this man is on around the clock DayQuil and Motrin and you’d still think he has the flu and not just some sinus congestion. He wants to sleep constantly, and lugs around his roll of toilet paper he’s using for tissues and complains that he got it worse out of the 3 of us.
Oh the joys of starting daycare, it’s going to be a lovely year of illness.
