I forgot how much fun it is to take turns holding a newborn while we watch our soaps. The big kids are at school. (Thankfully! We need the break!) There’s a lot to get done – laundry, cleaning, baby loving – but a quick break for lunch and some Days of Our Lives never hurt anyone.
My older nephew (love saying that!) had strep over the weekend. Ugh. Guess who’s been sharing the air mattress with him? You guessed it – me! We’re all hoping not to get it – but it seems if anyone is going to it’ll be me. So far so good – my stomach hurts a little – but that’s probably because I’ve been eating all the crap everyone keeps bringing over – and my nose is a tad stuffy due to allergies – but so far no sore throat and no fever. Cross your fingers for all of us.
Knitting? What’s that? I give you Moms a lot of credit – how do you get anything done with all those kids running around?
Thanks again for all the good wishes! Baby Eli is definitely a keeper!
Love,
Cara
That baby is just too cute. Congratulations to you all!!
I have a fondness for Days Of Our Lives — I was a fan for exactly 16 months, watching it while nursing Maddy! Sounds like happy mayhem over there. Sending virtual garlic (or whatever it would take) so you stay well — and sending love to you all!
We don’t get a lot done, we’re only good at hiding what isn’t done…. 🙂
All that and you still had time to leave a comment at my blog? You’re Super Aunt!
*sends you good anti-strep vibes*
Can’t wait for gorgeous photos of Eli!
oh, i hope you stay healthy! i’m with sandy, by the way.
enjoy, enjoy. i was hooked on the discovery health channel during cocoa pebbles newborn days.
You sound like a wonderful sister.
The Chicago Tribune ran a wonderful feature on the importance of Aunts in our lives. The very specific role they play. The gifts only they can bring to the family unit. Your sister and your neices and nephews are so very lucky to have you. If I can get my hands on the article, it was a few years ago, I’ll send it to you.
Congrats.
