Tough Times at Home

OK...so my wife is pregnant again and is feeling under the weather pretty much nonstop. So that should not be too big of a deal, right? Right...and its not that big of a deal. She has been having some wierd cravings or no appetite at all which has caused us to restructure our normal dinner routine. Mainly.....I now fix my own dinner. Also not too big of a deal, considering I did so for myself for years while a bachelor. I am trying to loose weight, however, and my diet of 10 years ago is not appropriate for such a plan. I could certainly cook better meals for myself, but I enjoy feeding my son dinner, and that is when Erin used to cook. I can't do both....and I want to give Erin a break from O-daddy....so I choose to feed him....and eat "whatever" each night. This is also a choice that I am willing to make and not complain about. Here is the real issue though- Big Boy got his first real runny nose a few days ago. Apparenlty my wife and I have both picked up whatever he is carrying and it has hit us with a vengence. I don't normally get sick....so its an adjustment for me....but manageable. Poor Erin however, is already nauseous from the pregnancy and stayed up most of the night last night coughing and blowing her nose. I feel so bad for her. She is feeling pretty bad overall though too, indicated by the fact that she told me (last night) we would likely have to adopt a 3rd child if we decide we want one.
