The Monday Snapshot(s) – CG Cures All

November 18, 2012 by Courtney 21 Comments

It’s no secret – we’ve had a rough week. That rough week led into an even rougher weekend and today was the worst so far for our sick little guy. This cold, whatever the hell it is, is a bad one! Matthew’s been stuffy for a couple weeks at a time, but not like this – not with a fever too.

As everyone knows, we watch a little “Curi.ous Geo.rge” every morning together as a family. Matthew usually dances to the opening credits, drinks his milk, and then gets off the bed to cruise around and play with his toys in our bedroom. Today – he snuggled. Today – he watched an entire episode (consists of two short stories) like this:

Heaven!

This is part of PAIL’s Monday Snapshot… go on over and check out all the others!

** Quick update – we went to the doctor today. Matthew has a double ear infection with his right ear drum near rupturing. He smiled and played with the doctor the entire time – he is showing no signs of pain aside from last night when he couldn’t sleep. The doctor said that he’s in heaps of pain and that he’s had this for days. I feel terrible. He is such a good “sick baby” that he gave us no signs until last night that things were (really) bad. 😦

Hi, there, I’m Courtney. I never planned to stay home with my kids, but I got sucked into motherhood when my first baby came into our lives after years of infertility and multiple rounds of IVF. His brother followed closely behind, something we didn’t plan on after having such a rough road with achieving parenthood the first time around. My boys are IVF cycle twins, conceived on the same day but born two years and one day apart (they were both transferred on the same day in October, but with two years between them). My boys are the best of friends and my husband is a terrific husband, father, and most importantly… friend. He fully supported my desire to stay home (“I just wanted it to be your idea and not mine, I totally want you to stay home and raise our kids!”) and encourages me in everything I do. I am a lover of projects, spreadsheets, fitness, healthy cooking and eating, crafts, selling my stuff on FB (HA!), and the outdoors. If I’m active, I’m pretty darn happy!
