Germs Germs Go AWAY!

That's the theme we're currently chanting around our house these days. Other than teething or the common cold, Helaina really didn't have an illness the first 18 months of her life...ooohhh how lucky we were!

Literally, someone has been sick in our house EVERYDAY for the last 7 weeks. From the flu, to several bouts of diarrhea, runny noses, congestion, sneezing, fevers, eye infections, a mild cough, chest congestion, and trouble sleeping, this house is full of germs! Randy and I have yet to miss a day of work due to illness since our college graduations in 2004, but these last few weeks have more than introduced us to another privilege of parenting.

Don't get us wrong, we're not complaining, the cuddle time is priceless, and we are completely aware that things could be much worse. We are just hoping for a little reprieve, until then, these sleepless nights and unproductive days will continue to prepare us for the addition of baby #2.
