The Plague Returns (121/365)

Petite was especially clingy this morning. But I took her to daycare assuming it was just one of those 'Mommy-I-don't-wanna-get-up' days. At daycare I had to hand her off to the caregiver; she was just sooo tired. In my car on the way to work, the caregiver called me: she thought Petite was warm and checked her temp. It came in at 100.3. I continued on my way and told her to keep me posted please, that I would pick her up if needs be. 

That was at 8:05. At 9:15 the caregiver called: her temp was up to 101.2. Crap. I rearranged things and left to pick her up. She dozed in the car on the way home, and upon arriving at home, I handed a somewhat sleepy girl off to Hubby, and I turned to go back out to get the rest of our things from the car. When I opened the front door the second time, I was met with Hubby's voice, "She just threw up." Oh lovely. 


And thus began the day/night of fever, worry and unease. Her fever spiked at 103.7, and I insisted she sleep in our bed (which, by the way, isn't all that comfortable with two adults, a feverish toddler and two cats sprawled horizontally, and who refuse to move for love nor money!). We plied her with Tylenol as directed on the bottle, watching her temp and trying to bring down the fever. She did enjoy a bath later in the day to freshen up and she had a Mr. Freeze or three to comfort her. She napped a bit. But most of her day was just spent snuggled in our bed, sorta like this picture illustrates. It wasn't a fun day. That's for sure.

Nak.ed Baby Bu.tt! (120/365)

These days she's being devilish; as soon as I get finished with her in the bathroom, she kicks off her clothes and runs away as fast as she can. Today, she did just that and I found her in the living room, trying to cuddle one of the cats. Badness!

I Want Some More (118/365)

Sorry Petite... you said you didn't want any more so Mommy finished off the popcorn for movie night tonight. Ooops!

Back at It (117/365)

I started back at the gym about 10 days ago. It's already doing wonders for me. I just hope I can keep it up...

Waiting Room (110/365)

I had an appointment at the RE's office today... dildo cam and all.

But the results are absolutely stellar: apparently, I have the "LH and FSH of a teenager" and I had 10 antral follicles visualized on the ultrasound. (For reference, today is CD3.)

Great news! We'll see where that takes us.

Bedtime Snack (108/365)

Petite sometimes has trouble so awhile ago, we added some fibre to her diet. It's helped immensely. She's much happier now.



And so is Mommy.

Here's Your Sign (104/365)

The photo will be forthcoming; I have to get it from our camera.



Tonight, we went out with my girlfriend K. The three of us went to see Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy. We had a blast! I laughed so hard all evening. It was wonderful.

Wear Pink! (102/365)

It's "wear pink" day today for anti-bullying activism. I dunno what wearing pink actually does, other than show my support for the movement, but hey, I love pink anyway so if there's a given day to wear it, count me in!

*I took this one with Instagram in my office today.

Horsing Around (101/365)

Hey, psst... listen up! This is Petite's current 'crush' at daycare. He's about 5 or 6 years older than she is, but wow, she's ALL over him these days. And frankly, he's absolutely loving every moment of it!

Concentration (95/365)

She was so busy with... whatever... I don't think she noticed I was even there!

Easter Goodies! (94/365)

Purchased over the last few days at a couple of places, these are some of the books, toys and fun stuff I bought for Petite and the kids at the daycare for Easter.

Egg colouring kit, jump rope, Frisbee, bubbles, books, figurines, bug barn, and a set of kiddie bowling pins and a ball for the daycare itself. I hope it's a bit of fun entertainment for them all.

Rolling In (93/365)

Our bright sunny day suddenly turned dark and when I looked up, I saw the immense black clouds rolling in.

Grooming (92/365)

I love to watch them groom each other. It's lovely to know they are as close as ever and love each other like this. Would that many humans learn from their example.
