The years of the immune system...

Poor Ryke is down and out again. He's got some stomach bug.

He went from croup, to a cold, to this bug. Oh the way of life for a little person. Their first year seems to be somewhat protected by breastfeeding with the exception of colds. Then second year is a bit more and I feel like the 3rd year Winter time hits and BOOM. Illness left and right. And each and every time one of these little ones gets sick my Momma heart hurts. I get worried about the other kids, I get worried about me, Russ, others around us. Blast. But I also know that this is the way of life, and hopefully their immune system bulks up and they don't get too sick in school. But until then, I wash their hands, my hands and just cuddle. Lots of cuddling.

Love,

Momma
