bodily fluids...ewww!

so we have been a household of the common cold-- yuck

it all started with me 5 days ago...itchy throat, runny nose, etc. well when mommy gets sick, that pretty much gives little baby no chance. he woke up yesterday with this pitiful little cough and runny nose. poor baby.

the doc said there's not too much you can do when they are this young, but to get a cool-mist humidifier, saline drops and use that not-so-fun nose-sucker-outter-thingy.

now that i am feeling much better, wes started feeling the love... so today i got to take care of both my boys.

i also feel completely initiated into motherhood with the all the bodily fluids that come from babies...
lets just say the clothes i put in the washer today had spit-up, poopie, pee pee, snot, milk and who knows what else on it. fun, huh?! crazy thing is, i am started to not even get grossed out about it.


thankfully though he is pitiful, he still smiles through the yuckiness.

I am sorry you all aren't feeling well. Nothings worse than a summer cold. I hate that for you!

Isn't amazing that little ones can still smile and be happy even when they are not feeling well and should be cranky?!? It always amazes me!! I guess that's Gods way of making it easier for us moms to handle!! =)

Ha!!! Welcome to motherhood. Roddy and are both amazed at each other--that he could change his shirt with just one round of barf on it and that I can wear it! Hope you guys feel better soon. Little Elijah's got a cold too, so we feel your pain. Love you!
