Procrastination....

The title pretty much sums up my blog already. I've always been a procrastinator. Even in school, I would put off papers or projects until the night before and then I'd be so stressed out and pull an all-nighter. However, I also work well under pressure, so it's worked out to my advantage so far.
Right now, I'm currently procrastinating on house work. I'm not sure why that matters considering Carson and I will be quarantined to the house for the next couple of days. She has somehow gotten Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. She has blisters all over her little hands, feet, in her mouth and on her bottom. It started out with what I thought was a diaper rash. I thought maybe I had cleaned the tub with something that made her break out on her bottom. That started to gradually get worse... then, I noticed what I thought was a scratch on her face yesterday because it wasn't there before she went down for her nap. Well, this morning I went into her room, got her ready to go on a hike and I noticed blisters all over her bottom. It wasn't a normal diaper rash. It was HORRIBLE. Then, I noticed them on her feet when I went to put her shoes on. Then, I looked at her hands and there were blisters on there, too! I took a closer look at her chin and on the side of her mouth and it turns out those were also little blisters. So..... I put all of that together and came you with HFMD. I had her open her mouth so I could see the back of her throat and what do ya know... more blisters. I called the pediatrician in a panic but I knew that if it was, in fact, HFMD that they could do nothing for it and we would have to let it run its course. In a nut shell... I was right. They said only to bring her in if she wasn't keeping fluids down. One thing I found out that I did NOT know is that after the blisters are there and there's no fever, they're not contagious! It's the 7 days before that. Basically, you have no idea they have it until the blisters appear. SO, like I stated before, we will be staying at home for the next few days.
....and that is the exact reason I'm procrastinating right now. I have tons of housework and things I could be doing, but right now I want to sit in the quiet without a clingy, fussy baby who's in pain and just chill out.
I feel like I need to add that I have the most supportive husband in the world. I was so upset that Carson has this "disease" (by the way, the word disease makes this whole thing sound SO much worse!) and he kept comforting me, telling me I was doing everything right and just being supportive. That's what I needed. Just to hear him say those things. I know I try to be the best mom I can possibly be for Carson, but honestly, we all feel like we fall short at times and I needed for him to tell me I was doing a good job. After all, no one else loves her like I do besides Matt.
So, that's been our day in a nut shell. Lots of fluids and cold, soft foods so that it doesn't hurt her little throat.
Maybe now I'll get off the couch and do some things around the house... or I'll just kick back and watch a movie.
