I've been healthy so long; I forgot what it was like to tend a baby while I was miserable. My cold has now moved into my stomach, and Samantha has diarrhea. Not a good combination. I wonder how fast I can get to the bathroom while finding a safe spot for a naked Sam? (or rather, a spot where the room will be safe from the naked Sam.) Oh the deep questions of parenthood.

Isn't there a rule the kids get in their manual when they are born that tells them they *cannot* have diarrhea at the same time parents have the stomach flu? If there isn't, whom do I contact to add it in?

I made up a calendar for the grandparents that contains photos of Sam's first year. Ofoto did a superb job printing them, if I do say so myself. I had a blast picking out which ones to use. I have some amazing photographs of her, some that are very artistic with the light shadings.
