Being Mom is not the best time to get sick, so for the next twenty or so years I hope that I can try to avoid sickness. I guess that's going to be hard since somehow my hands have become tissues. Isaak caught a cold a couple weeks ago and I caught it from him. I wonder how that's possible--it couldn't be that he'd wipe his nose on my pants leg could it? Every time he'd walk past he reach up to me like he wanted loves, then he'd quickly rub his nose all over my pants. I did a lot of laundry that week. I thought I recovered quickly from the cold, but I hit rock bottom last week. I woke up on Tuesday and felt like my heart and chest aching. I could barely walk fast without getting winded and I was exhausted by Friday I could barely stand up for about 10 minutes before I needed to sit back down. I started an antibiotic and now I'm peachy as pie. I feel great. Almost. I get tired easy, but I actually have stamina and drive. I want to do things as last week I was lethargic and indecisive. But I don't want to do the dishes that have been piling up since I've been sick. I don't want to try to catch up on all the things I wasn't able to do, but I will. I just wonder how long it will take me to catch back up. See this is why I can't get sick while I'm playing Mom. I just don't have time and people still need me to keep going.
Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

I love that you took Issak on the wave runner so fun! Kai hated her life jacket too, remember lake powell. But since then I keep out and she loves to wear around all day it is like a dress up thing for her. Maybe that might work for Isaak too.
1) Invincible to illness
2) Telepathic communication
3) Sleep becomes an option (not a necessity)
I am proud of the fact that you went to the doctors and happy that the antibiotics helped quickly. Being sick IS hard to do!
