The sickies

The sickies are over-staying their welcome at our house. I am starting to get super concerned - or perhaps more concerned than my normally super concerned state - because Carter has been catching illnesses quite frequently since December. It feels like he's sick every other week. He's had a few little colds, a virus, and now he has the stomach flu. I feel terrible and so guilty but I have no idea how he catches these so easily. The doctor's going to hear about it for sure.

Right now, I am being very cautious with his meals and am making sure not to give anything that could make his stomach go ballistic. I have to admit that I completely focus on his health of course and then totally disregard mine. I get sick every single time he gets sick so I can already see what's coming. (Please, please immune system! I have so many assignments and midterms!)

Both of our immune systems need a boost! I wish I could blame it on the winter (because I hate this season with a passion) but it is just one of those cases where the mom cape has got to go on.
