A lesson learned from parenthood

I am in general, a healthy individual. I get a physical every year. I workout on a regular basis. I usually watch what I eat. I drink too much from time to time...but in general, my physical is usually really good.

Why am I talking about this? Well, if we were looking at...hmm..lets say a 5 year history of my health prior to March 19, 2009, I bet I was sick MAYBE twice a year. I bet it was an average of about 1.5 times a year.

Well, since Samantha has come into our life, I have been sick about once a month! She is a walking carrier of disease. It is quite impressive. I have been to work one day this week. Monday I was off because Samantha was sick. I started getting sick Tuesday night and was really sick on Wednesday and am still fighting it today.

I do not remember reading that I should expect to be sick once a month...I guess it is just another lesson learned. I think there will be a lot more to come!

What is your one food???

So, I was thinking about food last night. This is what us fat people do. I was trying to think of the one food that I love the most. What is the one food that I am not sure I could live without? It really came down to two foods: peanut butter and cheese. Now, I am not talking about the Jiffy crap. I am talking about natural peanut butter. When you open the jar, you have to mix it up because all the oil is on top. The only ingredients are say it...peanuts!!! (ok - less than 1% salt too...) That is REAL peanut butter and I LOVE IT!

I swear the only reason I eat a banana is so i can put mounds and mounds of PB on it with each bite. I love to have it with ice cream. I even bought powdered PB to mix in with protein shakes. I am not sure I can get enough peanut butter.

What is your one food?

this blog was really close to being about cheese... mmmm, cheese.

Happy Wednesday!

Monday - New weekend???

So, due to being ridiculously busy at work, I had to bail on a FUN weekend in Cincinnati. I was really bummed out but in the end duty calls. I worked basically a full day Saturday and almost a full day Sunday.

Well, as the weekend continued, Samantha got more sick. By middle of the day on Sunday, she was running a fever around 103. After talking to the doc and stabilizing her temp, we made an apt for the doctor on Monday mid-morning. Well, Michelle has a meeting in the morning, so I had to take her.

I ended up putting a few more hours of work in Sunday night (after bowling) and took Monday off. Monday morning Samantha woke up a much better and happier baby. We went the doctor and he thinks she had hand, foot and mouth disease. The doc also thought we had seen the worst of it. Great news!

Well, on the way home Sam fell asleep. Lets say it was 10:45. We got home. I put her in her crib. It was time for me to do some work...Well, at noon, she started crying. I could tell she was still tired. So I laid with her on the couch. I though maybe an hour and she will be good.

Well, she proceeded to sleep for three hours! I laid there locked on the couch with a sleeping baby on my chest. I did not move, go to the bathroom or eat lunch. When she finally woke up, she and I were BOTH hungry.

Anyway, I ended up playing with her until it was time to get Michelle. In the end, Monday turned out to be my weekend. I can not complain except...

Why is my throat sore and my nose stuffy????

Uh-oh.

Oh and this morning Samantha woke up happy and no temp for the last 30 hours. She still has a bad cough but for the most part is A-OK.

Happy Anniversary....to Michelle and I!!!!!!

Three years ago today, Michelle and I got married. Today, she is in SF for work and I get to take care of a sick baby.

Happy Anniversary????
