That is to say, it's not as bad as it seemed it might be, but it still wasn't great. I'm talking about my first stretch of days alone with Olive AND her first sickness - which did in fact occur simultaneously.
It helped a lot that I have a great circle of supportive friends and had company every evening to keep up my spirits (and at least free me up to take a shower and fold some laundry and stuff). It also helped that our daughter is a total trooper and kept smiling through the whole thing. It helps that I work part time, half of the time from home, and was free to respond to Olive as she needed. And it REALLY helps when your husband returns the night before you expect him.
Happy to report we're all back together and baby and Dad seem to both be recovering from their ills (DJ was sick before he left town Tuesday). Thanks to all for your help and well wishes while I fielded this life happening! ;)
