Still under quarantine...haven't seen the baby for a week. (well only from a distance) I am going stir crazy I may have to go out and infect Target shoppers. (That is how I most likely got this.) According to the medical websites I shouldn't be contagious any longer but not taking chances with the baby.
Getting sewing done and not much else.

You probably aren't contagious anymore, but playing it safe is probably wise. I just read a student's research essay (of all the places to get my info, right?) that was an argument on why mothers should breast feed and her essay cited an article from "Scientific American" that said that infants who consume soy-based formula are more likely to have a suppressed immune system, so little Rylee may be more vulnerable to contagions because of the immunity suppresion of soy.
This only pops to mind because I literally read that student's essay today, and then checked out her cited article online: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=soy-based-infant-formulas&ec=ypi.
It may not be entirely accurate, however, because the article was dated 2002, and many scientific conclusions change rather rapidly.
At any rate, Rylee would probably be fine as long as you don't sneeze into her eyeballs!
Well, Jess has one take on this but I am a firm believer in exposing the kid to as much as possible early on. Granted, I wouldn't advise you in the throws of some disgusting cold/disease/flu to expose Rylee but a few days after the contagious part passes; get in there and breath on her. Build that immune system. JUST KIDDING! No one wants a sick baby.
Miller is currently fighting something off and I blame Jon, the daycare cab driver, of it.
Oh, I guess you didn't know...Grammas can't get grandbabies sick. It is scientific fact. Look it up on wikipedia. Rylee(see, I can spell it right Shannon) will probably get more sick from not seeing her Gramma, than from seeing a sick Gramma.
