Germs

I've had my first glimpse into one of the least glamorous parts of parenthood this week: having a sick family.  This was VERY mild, just a couple of colds for mommy and daddy.  But it's left us more tired than usual, at a time when Henry is starting to get a bit more demanding (and continues to be a night owl).  Most striking for me, I guess, is that when I'm feeling exhausted I can't just hand the baby off to Matt... because he's feeling even worse!  I can't really complain, but I'm having visions of later on, when there are multiple kids- with fevers and runny noses and upset stomachs and diarrhea... you get the idea.  Something to look forward to!
