Peaceful 4 days of togetherness

DC's left foot was throbbing with pain on Sat night. On Sun, he had throbbing headache that made his leg pain worse. So, he rested at home for the next two days. His headache became worse on Mon and fever broke out, high fever of 39.2ºC! He had to stay at home for two more days. It's usually for him to be at home for so many working days. He's such a workaholic! It must have been very painful for him to stay at home not working! Inside, I was actually smiling. It's been sooo looong since we were alone without the kids! :) A went to his childcare centre and B started going to her nanny's this week.

Things really changed a lot since B was born. DC took over all my roles and responsibilities in taking care of A. On weekdays, he had to shuttle A to and from childcare centre, bathe him, coax him to sleep and help me buy the baby necessities whenever I needed them. On weekends, he (used to be the both of us) had to bring A to his classes. He slept late every night and wake up earlier than everyone at home. While I could still take a nap in the afternoon when B is sleeping, DC couldn't. This period must have been very tiring for him! That's why his body is sending him a message - to have full rest - via his body aches and fever! Good for him (to have rest).

It's a good news for me too (not gloating over his misery!) as both of us were really very busy with caring for the little ones (separately) to have a decent talk! This became a good opportunity for us to get in touch and make up for the lost times. We ate together, we communicated lots, we settled our maid replacement issue and we almost wanted to go on movies together, all without having to fuss over the children. I found back my boyfriend of the past, these 4 days were worthily spent! :)
