The Hardest Thing.....

is to get sick on the weekend that your husband is away with his grade 8 bball team in Powell River.
is to not be able to give your little guy a kiss because you are sick and don't want to give it to him.
is to ask for help from family and friends around you when you are the most stubborn person and have always wanted to be able to do things without help. (thanks to Heather, Matt, & PaB for helping me out)
is not knowing how to make your little one better when you know that he is not feeling good.

As you can tell we have been rather busy with trying to get all of us back on the road to being healthy. Jamie was the first to come down with a cold and then Aidan seemed to exhibit some signs of a runny nose. Then I get hit with a doosey of a cold. For those of you who know me, I don't get sick very often but when I do I am down for the count. Normally this would not bother me because I know that with time colds pass. However, we are flying out on boxing day to visit my family for the holidays. The last thing I want is to be travelling with a 4 month old who doesn't understand why our ears pop when we fly and have him be struggling with congestion and possible ear infection. Not fun in my opinion. But I do have good news to report. Aidan went to the doctors yesterday and his ears and chest are clear!!! yahooo. Now we just need to keep them that way till we fly.
We also had his four month check-up while we were there. He now weighs 16 lb 11oz. !!! What a big boy he is.
