The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Well, I should be asleep but I wanted to post some pictures that will otherwise rot in my rarely (anymore) used camera. Can’t remember the last time I actually edited pictures, so these are without any fancy touches.
I gotta get to bed now; Fin is up barfing AGAIN. Travis had it all night last night, and now it’s back to her. Weird. I’m PRAYING no one else in our house gets it. Not to sound selfish because I REALLY don’t want Yiayia or the boys to be touched by this either, but if I get this bug, it’s badness…you can’t really just “call in sick” as an intern. It’s sort of a big to-do if you do that. Plus, it’d mean 1 less day of vacation (pseudomaternity leave) when the baby is born. That time is already so limited that every day matters hugely. So pray for us that Fin’s 2nd bout is short-lived, that we actually get some sleep one of these nights, and that no one else is affected by the barf bug. Poor Fin, she woke up saying “I bawfed in a pot again. I don’t wanna bawf anymore.” She conned her way into our bed tonight though, so now I KNOW there’s no chance of rest for any of us. Actually, while I’m asking for prayers, REALLY pray that Travis is done with the barf bug. He’s the world’s worst patient. As I told my friend Jena, there’s a reason God put uteri in women, not men. They could never handle the discomfort of pregnancy or the pain of childbirth. Never.

ah laurie, how cute is finley with the band-aid on her head? BE. YOND.
Will pray for no more barfing!
wonderful pics! you are a super woman, i am tough, but couldn’t do what you are doing! power to you….
Finley is so darling, such a miniature version of her Daddy, hopefully her virus stops soon, and you are so right, God knows what men are incapable of when it comes to childbirth, our population will be sadly depleted into extinction, if they have to carry full pregnancy term, can’ nt imagine all the whining, and moaning they are capable off…..
wow - you’ve got a lot on your hands, mama. hang in there.
u good? all ok? sweet pictures! i bought the camera you have, on your recommendation, and i swear my pictures are not as crisp as yours. curse my luck! or lack of skill…..whatever.
I’ve been wondering for years how you keep blogging with SO MUCH on your plate. You are one amazing woman, Laurie. Don’t let your intern status get you down. You have bigger plans. It’s just a step from here to there. You will do great. No one will die on your watch. I’m rooting for you and if you can’t get to this blog for a while, I will miss seeing your precious littles but TOTALLY understand! Good luck!!!
here’s hoping that next week is better! everything will seem less overwhelming after you get into a routine!!
I know that you can do it!
I hope everyone is doing better!
They are gorgeous, those amazing kiddos of yours! Hope all is going as well as can be expected. I really hope everyone is healthy now. I was reading your last post, shaking my head my head in amazement at how well you are handling things when I remembered…”oh crap. Laurie is pregnant AND doing all this”. Oy. If anyone can do it and do it well, it’s you. Hope these next few months fly by and you settle into a good routine.
