Micah strikes first

Last Friday we made a quick decision to go to Ottawa to celebrate Peter's aunt's birthday. That night we had a quick celebration with the neighbors and Mattie had a great time with their 3 children. When we got back to the house, we decided to have Mattie sleep with Peter while I sleep with Mikey in another room because Mikey is teething. He has been waking up at least 4 times during the night and most nights I end up sleeping with him because he just wants to nurse for a long time. Mattie was very upset and stayed up until past 1 screaming. Then right after Mattie fell asleep, Mikey started crying. Next thing I know, his finger was in my eye. It was painful, but I didn't think much of it because I thought I caught it in time. Then morning comes and I was in PAIN. I could barely open my eye and pretty much had it patch up until today. I couldn't believe it --- little tiny fingers could really do damage.

We have pretty much been home bound since we got home since I couldn't be in the light. Of course, Mattie started coughing and last night had a slight fever. Mikey is still miserable from teething and maybe coming down with a cold. I hope this is the end of crazy episodes of our life and I can start writing about our outings again.
