sick, sick, SICK

that's how sick we are. mr. waaz got it first, probably from peering inside other people's cars and getting breathed on. We had chicken noodle soup and went to bed early. Then ep picked up the bug and people at church heard him cry for the first time ever. He ate some chicken and dumplings and snot and slept an amazing 6 hours in a row two nights ago and seems to be much more cheerful today (the diaper this morning, however, was NOT cheerful. more like green and lumpy. eww).
Once ep was over the hump, my body decided it'd had enough and so just when the babe was snoozing the aforementioned 6 hours(count em), I couldn't sleep for fear snot would clog my sore throat and nose and I would suffocate. That's right, I was up until 2, folks. No, i did not get up at 4:30 that morning to make mr. waaz some lunch. I accomplished nothing yesterday except to give ep a bath and do three loads of laundry and a lot of moaning and groaning and drinking of steamy beverages. mr. waaz said I looked terrible. Or was it horrible? In any case, it was a no good, very bad day. Even worse than Sunday, when we left the dog for two hours in the BRAND NEW crate and she chewed the metal off the side and crawled through a 4" gap and left smears of poop everywhere. yeah, that's what I said.

getting closer to a house tour...we have a shelf now and two more pictures hung, yay! My house was SO clean a week ago... not anymore!


and because someone mentioned something about whether or not I still sling the boy, here he is a couple of days ago right after eating and before falling asleep. Usually he's up on my hip with his legs sticking out (like when we go for walks), but this "carry" is way more conducive to hands free nursing. did you notice that he was on my back in the valentine's day post? that was so we could cart the dresser etc. home from down the street.
Oh, and in the first pic can you see the red boppy in the background and not curled around ep's butt like it was 5 minutes prior to taking the pic? yeah, he's started scooting a bit, especially towards the mirror, which is now on its side to prevent mishap.
