Potpourri

2008-05-08T15:24:03Z

The Boy got sent home from school yesterday. Well, he would have been sent home, except that I accidentally left my phone off, and, for some odd reason, they didn't call my husband at work. Anyway, he's at home today with his daddy, and he has a ...

Such an unhappy boy!

2008-05-06T16:01:46Z

I dropped off a very unhappy little boy this morning. In fact, as soon as we got into the classroom, he started to scream in terror and cling to me for dear life. He settled down a bit while I was signing the roster sheet (still holding him, mind...

Finally asleep... (and a Day 2 recap)

2008-05-03T22:41:46Z

The Boy is finally down for a nap, though at this late hour, he might be out for longer than just a nap. The poor thing was up late last night vomiting, and when he woke up this morning, it was because of diarrhea. Amazingly enough, he's been in ...

Bronchiolitis

2008-02-21T00:08:13Z

My little boy has bronchiolitis. Since it is a mild case (thankfully) and neither my husband nor I suffer from asthma nor nasal allergies, the only treatment my doctor could offer is lots of fluids, lots of rest, and lots of cuddling. That's the ...

Another call from school...

2008-02-19T21:15:10Z

At least it's the first one of the year, and we're already halfway through the second month. Baby C isn't feeling well. I think that goes without saying, considering that his school had to call me. Twice. The first time, his teacher called to let...

At home today

2007-12-12T14:07:16Z

Baby C is sick, or, at the very least, not feeling well. He let out a cry at midnight and, when Chris went into the nursery to pick up and comfort the baby, threw up on his dad's shoulder. Not fun. He then proceeded to throw up every 15-45 minute...

Update on Baby's Stomach Virus

2007-10-22T15:09:39Z

First of all, a big thanks and huge hugs to all of you who were concerned for little Baby C. I really appreciate all the well-wishes, especially coming from those who have weathered this sort of thing before (and watched their children live to te...

Baby's first stomach virus

2007-10-18T21:39:48Z

I got a call this afternoon from Baby C's school. He had thrown up twice and had a rash all over, so could I please pick him up? So, I ran into my director's office, told her I needed to leave to get the baby because he's vomiting, then dashed to...

The Very Long Weekend (or, Adventures in Teething)

2007-09-18T18:25:32Z

Baby C had been warm to the touch for several days, but he hadn't been overly fussy and was still willing to play. Besides, the thermometer didn't show an elevated temperature until Friday evening: 100.5, the magic number at which to give him som...

Not a good combination

2007-09-12T06:15:16Z

This morning, Baby C is not a happy baby. He's sleepy, hungry, and congested, which is not a good combination. Any attempts to alleviate some congestion (namely, the giant green bulb aspirator) have been met with screams of terror. Any attempts to...
