Highlights of Life

2 weeks and counting

baby and I are sick. Awful respiratory infection. My mom is taking care of us… and she is no great shape herself, so I feel a bit guilty and awful. But she does such a great job. From making asian soups to hot teas, it simply is so wonderful to have my mom help out. And the little one just absolutely loves her and it’s such a joy to see them interacting with each other. There are some blessings in life, that can not be replaced with anything but witnessing it yourself… and one of those joys are seeing my mom and daughter interact together. There is so much love, and sweetness and pure innocence there…

It’s now been 2 weeks… and hopefully by the end of this week, this darn thing will go away. I’m just afraid my mom will catch whatever it is we have… so here is to praying that she doesn’t.

I ended up spending my birthday in bed, sick, and coughing, and hacking away, blowing my nose, and going through boxfuls of tissue. I barely paid attention to the little one, and ended up pretty much hoisting her care onto my mom. Bless her heart.

Dozing in and out of sleep… all I did was eat, sleep, eat, sleep and sleep some more. Hopefully all this rest will hep me recuperate. There was a little part of me that felt cheated out of celebrating my birthday, as I was hoping we could all go out to dinner… but somethings are more important (i.e. getting better and getting rid of this infection).

I think the pregnancy is also affecting my immune system… because this thing is taking a LOT longer than I expected.

I hate being sick. Even if it’s a stupid respiratory infection.
