Poor Zoe is sick with her first cold. It's so hard to see such a tiny person cough and be all stuffy. She's had this cold for a few days but this morning she woke up and sounded all muffled because she was so congested. Her cough sounded wet instead of the dry cough she'd been having and then she threw up twice from gagging on her phlegm. Concerned, I decided to take her to the doctor. Thank heavens everything is fine...just something she has to get over...but I sometimes find myself wondering what I paid a co-pay for. Peace of mind is a good thing...but I hope as I become better at this Mom thing I'll be able to give myself peace of mind instead of paying for it. In the end, it's worth a co-pay to make sure everything is ok rather than worrying, or worse, not going and something actually being wrong. So, today I stayed home with Zoe for the second time this week and tried not to think about what it would do to my budget. Wouldn't you know, besides a little more fussing than usual and a lot longer naps, she's actually pretty happy when she's sick with a cold. I seriously love this child.
P.S. I know I've been a picture slacker lately...my excuse is that I'm not feeling well either, I just moved and am still working on that, and well I just haven't had a lot of time. Things will settle eventually and I will go back to posting weekly pictures, I promise.

A Mess
Well, it has been some week. I ended up being sick through the entire week, missing three days of work. However, because my employer refuses to award us sick leave, I had to use vacation time for those days. The problem is, I didn't have enough vacation time to cover three days. So, I had to work from home...sick. I'm sure that really helped me to recover more quickly. On Friday I was still not quite myself, but had to come in to work anyway.
Friday evening Love and I flew to New Mexico. My grandparents flew us out so we could attend their 50th Anniversary Celebration. To make a long story short, let's just say the plane seated 30 people, it was hot, and I didn't feel well. Saturday I was feeling a little better, still not digesting food, but better. I was able to pay a visit to my best friend, which was so much fun. Later, we went to the New Mexico State Fair with Nell & Chad, the newlyweds. It was fun, but I ate way too much junk- as you might have guessed- which didn't end so well. Sunday was The Big Party. The celebration turned out to be a blast! We danced the night away- including a "Saturday Night Fever" performance complete with a floor slide by Matt, "The Carlton" by Chad, and a YMCA performance by the men of the family. We flew home at the crack of dawn- making our flight by the skin of our teeth- Monday.
Today, I am puzzled by the appearance of the evil red stuff- again- a week early. My boobs don't hurt this time and I don't feel as weird as last month, but I can't get rid of this nauseous feeling. Not that it means anything because I'm still not properly digesting food.
So, to sum up:
* The weekend was fun
* I'm a mess
In good news, the weather was a bit chilly this morning so I had to wear a hoodie- my favorite thing. The leaves are already changing- Utah is gorgeous in the Fall. I'm just waiting for the pace of life to slow down just a tad more.
