Germ Warfare

Hey all

Orla and meself have been spending the guts of the last month attending to young Daniel and his assortment of colds/infections which he has picked up. Apart from the poor wee thing being miserable (especially at night when he has a blocked up nose) we are pretty fucked ourselves, which makes it harder to get everything done. For anyone who hasn't tended a poorly child...well, you're lucky.

Preparing bottles, sterilising bottles and doodoo's, making breakfast, lunch, and dinner from scratch, feeding baby, washing bowls and spoons, washing vests, babygrows and bibs, drying and ironing same, shopping for ingredients for baby's food, getting medicine into sick baby, going to and from doctors, changing baby's nappy in the middle of the night and four times daily approx, keeping baby occupied and happy etc....to say nothing of your own life!!!!


Daniel seems to pick up something whenever we bring him visiting. Tempting as it is to keep him as the 'boy in the bubble'!one can't. Was it always this way? He is also teething which makes it worse. I'll be glad when this particular phase is over.

Germs. Fuckers.


Evening all
