Sometimes, life throws you curve balls (which occasionally feel like punches). I'm not sure if they are meant to push you in certain directions, teach you lessons, or just make you more thankful for the calm, happy times. I always think of the movie "The Adjustment Bureau" where some organization controls your fate, and makes checks and balances to your life events. There are so many cliches to describe where we are right now..."when it rains it pours" comes to mind first. We can't seem to catch a break in any aspect of life. Yesterday, I was told I have a nodule on my thyroid that needs to be biopsied-- a procedure which my ENT said is "not fun." I am trying not to worry, and pushing it aside until I know more about it. Between that, Matt's headaches and illness, Parker's pink eye and minor issues, we are feeling a little run down. 
Admittedly, we threw ourselves a little pity party last night. We went and got sushi and hung out with Auntie Morgan for a few hours instead of doing any of the cumbersome chores we so desperately need to get finished. It was exactly what I needed...just a break, free of responsibilities and full of snuggles and good company.
One thing I am so thankful for is that Matt and I have a way of being able to lift each other up when we are down, and oftentimes, when he is having a strong moment, I am having a weak one, and vice versa. He pointed out last night that I have so much to be thankful for...namely the beautiful baby boy in my arms, and our little family.
So, we will continue to put each foot forward, and take things one day at a time. We are helping each other see the positives on days that seem to be seeping with tension and fear. And we are loving our little boy to pieces...because he is what this is all about.
