Hi all! Another super busy week in the Murray household.

Because Jack is a 2019 baby- the last 8 months of his life have been very isolated. He has spent very little time with kids his own age- because we have been trying to physically distance. BUT because of this- when he does spend time with kids (family events and the like) he ALWAYS gets germs.

Because he hasn’t spent the last 8 months building up immunity to the world (like all babies do- by licking every surface he can reach) the minute that he is exposed to people outside of our immediate family- he is overcome with the sniffles.

So this week he had the sniffles- and gave me the sniffles. I had to take a day off work. I have never felt more ridiculous in my life! A whole day off work because of a runny nose.

But the strangest thing happened: I felt better the next day. Usually the sniffles last for days and days- while I suffer through work days and grocery days etc. Instead- I immediately rested and took the day off- I felt so much better.

New cases are emerging in New Brunswick- and I really needed the reminder. Staying home when you’re sick is so important. Not only does it help you feel better, faster- but it also protects the people around you from getting sick.
