Welcome to Parenthood, here’s your germs

Learn_About_Germs.jpg For the past year I’ve had the exciting opportunity to be a father – it really is fantastic, especially now that new parts of her personality is coming through and she’s in the “crazy aboriginal where are your pants” stage.

However, on the flip side, it’s a lot of work – tiring work. It also comes with a side-effect. Disease. I’ve been sicker the past year than I ever have been in my life. I think I end up with a cold or something else every month. I’ve had sinus infections, colds, Hand-Foot-and-Mouth and lack-of-sleep induced insanity.

Good times. At least I got to see the new batman movie, which was amazing. I’m going to go blow my nose again.

    You're whining about 1 kid, try 3. ;) Well I have a third on the way.

    If you're having sinus issues try a netti pot (sp?). I wasn't too keen on the idea of shooting water through my nose, but I can't recall my sinuses being any clearer.

    And yeah, Batman was amazing. I think the Joker stole the show.

    Hahaha!

    I bet is true. I guess though the type of problems are different. As far as I'm concerned I can take on anything if I could get more than minimal amount of sleep...
  • Don't talk about sleep - the sleeping patterns of children can only be quantified by using chaos theory

    You took a one-year-old to watch Batman ?
    :-)

    Get well soon.
  • Nope. That's what in town relatives help with.
  • I feel your pain, my friend. You are not alone.

  • I could deal with anything - provided she stopped acting like a plague monkey
