Even the common cold can knock you out

Ada, Chris and I all got the H1N1 vaccine last Friday. On Saturday Ada played with a kid who subsequently came down with something (maybe the flu). I checked, and it takes a couple of weeks for the vaccine to protect you after you take it. On Tuesday Ada was running a low fever but was otherwise fine. I am coughing and phlegmy. Neither of us seems to really fit the flu symptoms enough for us to worry.

We are tired, however.

I guess we are sick

Yup, that's me, asleep with a not-quite empty tea mug in my lap. Ada and I slept upright, using one another as pillows. It felt great.

  1. I hope you'll all feel better soon! That's a great picture =) But I can't help but wonder, were your necks alright after sleeping in a position like that?

  2. That's pretty much the best photo of Motherhood I've ever seen.

  4. Even though you're both feeling sick (I am, too), that's a beautiful photo.

  7. Mo, you need your eyes examined. That is definitely an unflattering picture of me.

    Ada's hair is darker, as we've cut off most of the baby blond.
