Sick Girl

Update

Yesterday morning Lily woke with a fever and the spots had spread to her face. I took her to the doctor and he said he's pretty sure it's viral, nothing serious, but it looked like a variant of hand, foot, and mouth. He said variant because he didn't see any spots in her throat, but everything else was pointing in that direction. Anyway, the poor baby was absolutely miserable all day yesterday. :( I had to go to Target to get some trash bags and other things we had run out of and she was a trooper, but after a while she was slumped over in the cart whining at me like "why are we here?!" Anyway, the fever seems to be down today but she still has the spots. And she does seem to feel better because this morning she was trying to play pattycake with Benjamin but he didn't understand (even though she was saying pattycake). He thought she just wanted to hit his hands or something. :)

Not Better, Worse

Now Lily is sick. Tonight before bathtime I noticed little red spots on her belly and back. Her temp was just over 100, but it wasn't a very good reading because she's so wiggly. Anyway, say a little prayer for the wild child for me. Thanks! :)

Chomper

Tooth #2 isn't far behind tooth #1.

And I'm still sick.

Stay tuned, I guess. :)

Pause

I'm sick. :(

So no new posts until either I feel better or Lily pops out a tooth for me to show you. :)

Cutting Teeth

The legs you see there are Zoe. She had what looked like an incredibly painful dental procedure done this morning where they cut her gums. Every time she smiled it hurt. And the poor girl kept smiling. She spent the day here playing with Lily, which was nice for me because Lily has been extra whiny and clingy the last few days and hasn't been napping well. I thought it was a possibility she could be (finally) teething but her gums didn't look very red or swollen so I wasn't sure. But this afternoon I felt her gum and I felt her first tooth coming through. So exciting and yet so sad. My baby's growing up! Anyway, here is an overload of toothless grin pics before it's too late:





I love that baby. :)

What I've Been Working On

There's a window shade that matches that I wasn't able to include in the picture. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can send it off to Texas and have a nice relaxing weekend with Benjamin and Lily. :)
