In all the educational parenting materials, one topic is glaringly missing - no one warns you about how often your child will get sick. I was complaining about this to a coworker and they just laughed at me. "My son had six surgeries on his ear in 10 months!" Okay, so Jacob hasn't been as sick as that. But, still! Every time Jacob gets sick (I mean barf sick, not runny nose sick) I feel shocked. Not sure why it's such a surprise since I tend to be sick a lot, but somehow I expect him to be healthy all the time.
Last week he put his tooth through his lip. This week he had a temp of 101.6 and threw up twice.
How exciting!
