Seriously? I never posted about Emma's second birthday? I have completely failed to blog in 2017. It has been a tough year so far. Last month Emma got sick for a few days and then I got sick for a long, miserable week (looking back I believe it was the flu). Just as I was getting better Bry got sick and then accidentally broke his jaw on January 23rd, long story short. He has been living on liquids and will be the rest of this month. Emma and I are sick once again less than a month after being sick the last time; I almost certainly have the flu (no fever but it is significantly worse than a cold usually is) and it's hard to say what Emma has since I only know her visible symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, coughing - all of which I share). We're both pretty miserable and she fell asleep really late last night and then woke me up every 2 hours, one of which times I tried to take care of her for an hour and the last (fourth) time of which we finally got up for the day.
Between Emma and I being miserably sick and Bry having his teeth wired shut (so his jaw can heal) we are a pretty pitiful bunch. I hope this is the worst Valentine's Day of my life and that the rest aren't this awful.
Sorry for the pessimism. I really hope everyone I know is having a great day! And I really hope Emma and I can stay not-sick for the rest of the year. Wishful thinking? Yes. At least no more flu would be great.
