Boosted in December but I'm sure its waning by now, kid was too young to ever be vaccinated.

Best wishes. You are not alone.
We also got sick last week, our first bout with covid... after 2 years, surprised we held out this long- and honestly, at least since school had started last fall, we were back to pretty much "normal" life.
Our 7 month old started coughing Wednesday. Wife and I with the dry/scratchy throats Thursday & Friday. Saturday I had pretty tough headache/body ache/tiredness. Sunday it got a bit better, but the cough started. Wife was always slightly less severe than me. Monday both even better, cough intermittent. Today I feel like a human being again, just in time for our 7 year old to start coughing. She was doing the puking thing BEFORE the baby was sick last week, and she had tested negative then so I thought it was a different thing... maybe not. Weird that she is now getting the cough though.
My wife and I lost our taste and smell yesterday. I was feeling better so I took a shower, and I could not smell the smelly soaps. Reading online about that is scary, it could be back in a few days, weeks, months, or never
The worst part (so far) has been the baby coughing at night. It interrupts our her rest, our rest, and my mental well-being. I'm so worried that she'll need some help that any noise wakes me.
Anyway, I am 3x vaccinated, wife 2x, 7 year old none yet, and baby none. The only thing different lately is that we've not been wearing masks...
