Under the weather

Poor little man is still under the weather today. We decided not to go swimming and stayed in. We are literally under the weather as well - there has been quite the snowstorm all day, so even if he weren't sick, I don't think we'd be digging out and chancing it on the roads. Normally I am willing to work with winter weather but today was something else!...

Not much to report as a result of our hibernation. We did watch an episode of Bringing Home Baby that made me laugh. This show is one of TLC's new offerings: it follows families around for the first 36 hours after they come home from the hospital with a new baby. Who would want to be on this show? Who wants the world to see you at your worst like that? Anyway, the father in the show put on a pair of rubber medical gloves every time he changed his kid's diaper. I didn't get it - if he'd been a new dad that would have been one thing, but this was his third kid. Then I caught them saying that the family had only been in the US for a couple of years, and that they had had a live-in nanny with their first two kids in their native country. The wife kept moaning about how hard it was to get up every couple of hours to (bottle) feed her baby, because normally the nanny would be doing that, and with that kind of attitude on her, it was pretty easy to figure out that this guy hadn't changed many diapers before...
