If this little one is a boy the meaning of his name is “Purple Elf Army” (first name meaning ‘purple’ and middle meaning ‘army of elves’)). I guess if he grows up to lead an army of purple elves I can’t really say too much can I? Thing 1′s name means fighter so maybe he’ll help his little brother?

I feel like I have the worst flu and when it comes to sleeping I’m like a cat. I’m going to wonder soon if Thing 1 will even remember who I am. My Mom is coming for a visit this week for a week. I’m excited for that but feel horrible that I probably won’t be all that social. I’m really looking forward to when this stage passes (assuming it will).

I also had a major freak out but I kinda asked for it in a way. I went to the bathroom for about the millionth time the other day and when I went to flush the toilet was full of blood. So after I panicked I wiped again and there was nothing. I then remembered I had a bad nosebleed earlier and hadn’t flushed so that’s what I was seeing. I felt kinda silly after that and relieved to say the least.
