Remember Sunday when I said I was hoping that Rose and I wouldn't catch Mike's latest sickness? Well, thankfully she is still healthy, but now I feel like I've been hit by a bus: coughing, body aches, chills, and just general yuckiness. I'm so sick of being sick! I had heard that this tends to happen with babies new to daycare, but I had no idea how exhausting it would be to catch one bug after another after another (after another). I'm doing as much as I can to take care of myself physically (going to bed early, using the neti pot each night, drinking lots of water, eating plenty of fruits and veggies, etc.) but it doesn't seem to be enough. The only thing I can identify that might need more work is changing how I manage my stress levels. (Ugh, yet another reminder from the universe to practice what a I preach!) Time to let go of stress I can't control about work and at home, and time to make more room for "Steph time" again ... just as soon as I have the energy again... I'm so thankful that the holidays are coming up so we'll have some more support from family! Please don't judge me if I ask to take a nap on Christmas or New Year'.
(P.S. I'm at work so I don't have any photos of Rose. Sorry! But I'm just letting go of my blogging guilt right now!)
