Germ Farm

Just when you think it's over..

Apparently Nate doesn't go to daycare, he goes to a germ farm.  And every day he brings home these little bugs that are actively trying to kill me.

I have strep throat, a sinus infection and an ear infection.  Yay me!

When I set out to chronicle motherhood I thought I'd be telling you about Nate's first tooth.  His first word.  His first step.  Nope, I can't even manage to get a current picture of him.  The kid is six months old!  Can you believe it! He also has a tooth!  About two weeks ago he took my hand, put it into his mouth and there was this sharp thing in there.  Jason came and took a look and sure enough, little man had his first little tooth.  The second bottom tooth has been struggling to break through.  We can see it, but it can't see us.  Unfortunately this has let to what medically is called "fussy-butt".

I really hope this ends soon.  I really miss my happy little guy.  The baby he has been replaced with is just as adorable and gives the best snuggles, but he also is just the worlds un-happiest baby.  Though to be perfectly honest I know we're getting off pretty easy.  A fussy Nate is still not overly fussy.  He distracts easily and loves gnawing on frozen bananas.

I guess this is all part of a bigger lesson though.  Shit happens and you just have to roll with it.  I have my beloved anti-biotic and I'm sure once I'm done with those I'll just some other bug.  Nate will continue to do amazing things like grow teeth and say "ah-BA!" and buzz his lips.  The world will keep moving.

Even if I do feel like poop.
