Well I had an interesting few weeks

We're nouveau, hiring maids and servants to do the estate grounds, and to do the dust inside. 

Wet nurses are exclusively "old money" around here --they'd no sooner let a nouveau infant suckle on their tit than they'd answer the door knowing an immigration officer has knocked.

been there did that fredo glad to hear everything is getting better for both of you.  when my children were babies / toddlers they were constantly in the hospital with 105* fevers dehydration and the like. glad they grew out of all that.

And your kid is almost 30 pounds and still sleeps in a crib?  *Humid grotto*.

He is only 16 months old.  But he does sleep on a cot in daycare so I suppose he could.  But my lazy dumbass would have to figure out how to turn his crib into the toddler bed.

I used to have a lot of back pain when the kids were young from lifting and carrying them all the time.

The pain migrated to the shoulder and elbow from pitching to them all the time.

These are small costs we pay for the privilege of passing our genetic heritage on to succeeding generations of humanity.
