Poor Baby

We have had the tummy bug floating around my house for the past week. Jackson got it last Wednesday night and took until Sunday to fully get over it. Harris was sick Monday night, recovered amazingly fast, but got it again in earnest today. The poor guy has been pitiful. He slept in my arms on the couch for two hours this morning. If I got up (like to take this picture), he would get up, find me, and take me back to the couch to hold him while he slept. So sweet. Since then, he has had some juice and is perking up a little. Hopefully this will all be gone tomorrow and Jason and I will avoid it.

I do have to say, though, that it has been ages since I have held one of my sleeping babies for any amount of time. While I felt so bad that Harris was sick, I was secretly thankful for the chance to enjoy him in that way. I know that before long, even these rare chances to enjoy my sleeping baby will be long gone. I will appreciate today for a long time to come.
