Sick x 3

A few days ago The Boy came down with one of his colds. It seems like most of the winter months he has these. Not sure why but he's susceptible to picking stuff up. I was trying to keep my hands washed and not share the same cup, etc. so that I wouldn't get it. But the the other night Nate and I both woke up with nasty sore throats. Meh. Nate can take some Nyquil before he drifts off to dreamy dreamland but me... Today it hit full force. The body aches, the pounding head, etc. I have been in bed most of the day and in and out of sleep.

Have I told you that I have the sweetest boy in the world? He's been playing by himself ALL DAY and only requested something to eat twice. You know, like lunch and dinner. I am so grateful to have a little one that can entertain himself. He's also been a sweetie when it comes to looking out for his expectant mom. He always warns me when there's ice on the walkway so I don't slip and one afternoon after doing some heavy duty cleaning of the house I must have been looking particularly haggard. He asked if I was going to barf (sorry to use that term Mom) to which I assured him that I was not. Then he said, "Why don't you just go lay down for a while." I hope this next little one is as sweet as his/her big brother.
