Day 4:
This is the point at which it's started to feel like we might actually be in a sick house and that maybe the quarantine is worth it. Aside from T's initial fever and a slight bit of out-of-puffness there really hadn't been any symptoms. In fact I had kind of forgotten, in amongst all of the other worries, to be concerned about what it might mean if we actually do have the virus.
But today it seems like everyone might be coming down with something. T's breathlessness has increased to the point that he's actually starting to be hampered when moving around, I started to feel out of breath too by the end of the day, although at this point it's hard to tell what's real and what's just in my head. M so far doesn't have any definite symptoms other than just being slightly cranky, but then she is all out of routine and being made to stay home so it might be nothing. C has definitely been off today though, a bit extra sad about things and really hard to settle to sleep. She slept pretty well last night but neither nap today was very good and she was really hard to settle in the first place. And then when I was putting her to bed I had a minor panic that she was running a temperature but it had cleared by the first wake up so who can tell. How would I even know if she was breathless? How do you tell in a baby?
On a lighter note this afternoon we joined in with a Facebook live music class (it wasn't actually live, we were about 3 hours late but M doesn't need to know that). It went really well. Both girls had a lovely time.
Also today C discovered the sandpit and spent a good while sitting in it trying to eat sand, and then she discovered M's bowl of water and put her entire arms into it. Cue another outfit change.
The highlight of the day was probably a care package which arrived from the mother in law full of toys and crafty bits for the girls. So we spent the rest of the afternoon playing Frozen happy families and threading buttons onto shoelaces. Don't worry, we saved the rest for
4 days down, 10 to go.
