blargh

They say gents, in general, handle having a cold much worse than ladies do. In the case of my wife and I this is absolutely true.

I'm pushing a fever of 38.5 Celsius when not hopped up on Tylenol cold, and it would seem breaking said fever is the only things these damn drugs will do for me. My throat hurts, I feel I haven't slept in a week, my head is exploding, I've got chills, and to make matters worse, I'm evidently a complainer.

A very big complainer.

You don't get to be the baby anymore. Hope you feel better soon!

Just think of your daughter. That should help cheer you up a bit.

It should give you a laugh and take you mind off being sick for a while.

It's OK to complain. You're in the midst of what is likely your greatest life change ever. The stress of it all probably hasn't done wonders for your resistance.

The joy of parenthood is you don't get a day off to get better. But then again, you're surrounded by so much goodness that it hardly matters. As you eloquently wrote in a previous post, it's no longer about you: it's about her.

Love your blog! It's rare to see a dad write so powerfully about becoming a dad. It's a joy to read.
