Mono update

[smock]

Drumroll please . . .

I HAVE MONO!!!

Also, MR. SMOCK HAS MONO!!!!

It's like a mono full house over here. 

Please cross all your crossables that it will be brief and mild. Because I'm not sure how we're going to swing two full-time jobs, a 5 month old, no family in the same time zone, AND a whole bunch of mono.

[bowies]

Who you been kissing?

I'm sorry, man, that sucks.

[bullygirl979]

Naps. Lots and lots of naps. Sorry, smock.

[kaneen]

Oh no!!! I hope it is brief and mild.

[smock]

Here's my theory: DD had a very mild cold about 5 weeks ago; that might have been her reaction to the virus (apparently it is very, very mild in babies). And mono has a 4-6 week incubation period, so the timing lines up.

At least I hope I got it from babies swapping spit at daycare, because any other possibility gives me the willies.

Lol. I got it three times and I wasn't kissing anyone who had it. It is spread through other bodily fluids so maybe baby snot?

The plot thickens...

Who's Smocklette been kissing at daycare?

She has two current admirers: H--, a younger man who rolled over onto Smocklette's head during gross motor play. Or R--, the mysterious older man who has been using Smocklette to stabilize himself as he pulls up to standing. Both seem to enjoy drooling on toys and then sharing with other babies.

[gault]

ohnoooooooooooooo! My mouth just hung wide open.

I'm sorry, smocky. Throw some unsuspecting babies into the bacon volcano as sacrifice to get out of this horrible malady.

I bet it was R.  I've heard the rumors on the mom blogs.  She needs to DTMFA.

Don't kids these days know to wrap it up, for protection and all?

[margarita]

Are you remembering the passionate kiss we shared last weekend?

Because I am.

I only feel a little bit bad that you have mono because this thread is so funny it almost seems worth it.

Sorry. My best advice is to resist caffeine as much as it might sound delicious and necessary. It made my naps not as easy or useful and the naps felt so much better than coffee. Take lots of naps.

[partiallysunny]

That hussy!

I'm sorry you have mono

I will do my best to nap! But it will be hard to resist the siren song of caffeine.

Oh no smock! You poor thing! And poor Mr. Smock too. I hope you all get better super fast.

[smock]

Mr. Smock's take: "I guess we weren't very popular in high school."

[SwimDeep]

I'm sorry you guys are sick
And I feel bad because this thread is cracking me up. I hope it passes quickly!

[Deleted]

holy crap...you poor thing!

[smock]

Should I go ahead and post my Amazon wish list now?

[tiramisu]

So sorry smock. I hope you both heal as quickly as possible. If I were closer, I would also volunteer to help.
