cold days

Sorry we have been fighting a nasty cold for the past week and a bit now... it really sucks. Ben had it (and is just starting to get rid of it) and now me.... and then Jon last night... Great. But we are trying to eat lots of veggies, fruit, and nuts... all the good things to fight it.. I am once again struggling with nursing Ben. He wouldn't latch for the first 7 weeks of life! but one day he just got it and things were great... but then I get the wonderful visit from aunt Flo every month now and my milk decreases so we are feeding every 2 hours or so and back to waking up every 2 hours in the night too. Both of us are grumpy because of it and therefore end up fighting each other because he won't latch properly and my milk isn't coming fast enough for him... its a wonderful cycle with both of us lacking in sleep! soon this week will be over and things will be better again. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.

This friday we are taking Ben to see Fred Penner who is a kids entertainer from our childhood. I think it is more for us then for Ben. I got to see Mr.Dress-up when I was a kid and thought it was great - although Ben will have no memories of this except for maybe a few pics. that will be our family fun day!
