It's a sick day here at the M house. It all started on Saturday evening when I felt pain in my teeth. With the whole house being 100% healthy for the last 9 months, I forgot one of the warning signs of the harshest kind of cold for me - sinus aches and pains radiating from my teeth! The lovely cold snowballed gradually on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - and my activities this week tapered off after a grocery trip Monday, park trip Tuesday, and after shuffling through class last night like a zombie, all I can manage today at home with Dominic is serving up macaroni and cheese, finger painting, and several episodes of Calliou. Dominic has been so sweet about me being a dud this week. He has been so totally cool with me just hanging out with him, and not doing a THING. I promise, this wasn't supposed to turn into a "poor me" entry, but while I'm on the subject, I've only slept cumlatively maybe 10 hrs in the last 4 days. Trying to beat this cold the au naturale way is no fun, but baby #2 will thank me one day. :)
And now, what this post was really supposed to be about...my favorite artist enjoying his unopened birthday gift from 4 months ago for the first time. I finally found the perfect day to use it! I also included a random photo of him enjoying his tomato bisque soup, with gusto! It's better than slurping, and it's just so cute to watch. :) I'm going to go try to nap now, so I can muster the energy to sit outside with D after his nap and start on some homework. Wish me luck!

I hope you get better soon!
I am so sorry you are not feeling well, Julia! Please let me know if you need anything. Isn't a child's intuition amazing, they always seem to know when mommy is sick and become very compliant (that's my experience anyway). Did you make the tomato bisque soup? If so, I would love the recipe, that sounds so good right now! Praying for better health...

I love how artsy Dominic is. He always seems so focused on his art projects.
On another note. I'm assuming I have what you have but we haven't seen each other in a while so I know I got it somewhere else. Anyway, sounds like it's a long road ahead. I was expecting 3-4 days tops! Oh please tell me it won't last long!!!
Poor Julia! I don't handle colds well in pregnancy either. A friend recommended menthol rub on your feet with socks over them though, especially for coughs. It seems to help the girls a ton, but I have yet to try it because I haven't had a cold since it was mentioned. Get well soon!
