(Not so) Wordless Wednesday: My sugar-virgin is no more!

" Okay, blow out the candle little guy!"

"What? You can't really expect me to eat this?"

"No, Asher it's really good, try it!"

"No, don't make me eat this!"

"I mean, um, this isn't bad"

"Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar!"

"Yeah, well don't get used to it," says Mom.

Wordless Wednesday!

Today's Wordless Wednesday has the theme of our favorite TV shows:

Man vs. Wild on Discovery

Lost on ABC

(my favorite) America's Next Top Model (Josh can't stand Tyra)

(Josh's favorite) Dirty Jobs on Discovery (I am always begging him to shut it off at night so I won't be dreaming of snakes and worms and stuff)

...and suddenly, the world just stops...

Today is Wordless Wednesday, but the last two days have been such a whirlwind, I must speak. My baby is sick. It started Monday night, we thought it was just teething. I must have jinxed myself when I blogged about how thankful I was for such a healthy boy, or maybe God is saying, you know I want you to find gratefulness in the worst times. So, he's miserable, coughs, sneezes, snot like crazy, the drooling is insane, his eyes are red/watery, his cheeks are red, kind of feverish! He wouldn't nurse for a period of close to 24 hours. He would eat solids however, so we plugged him full of vitamin C fruits and super greens. He's nursing now, but ugh, I just don't take it very well when Asher gets sick. I need to be thankful however that this is only is second time of getting this sick since he has been born. I want him to have lots of fluids, but he doesn't really like to drink anything but breastmilk. And ofcourse there is that added stress of feeling like you've left the world behind because you can't get anything done and you don't get enough sleep. But Josh was telling me last night that Asher is the most important thing right now, so if nothing gets done, then nothing gets done. Suddenly, the world just stops for our little one who needs more TLC than ever before. The thing that does scare me right now is the weird sounds he is making that I've never heard before. Seems as though his throat may be swollen and sore, ouch!

I am still going to be thankful...it was a beautiful 60 degrees out yesterday and I opened the windows to get some fresh air AND my baby is still smiling!

IF ANY OF YOU MOMS HAVE ANY ADVICE, I COULD REALLY FEEL ENCOURAGED BY IT!

Thanks for listening.
