Can't Catch a Break

The sick got worse. I was in bed Thurs & Friday with a fever. Well, I was in bed when I wasn't running to the bathroom to empty my stomach. (Awesome diet, btw... I lost like 6 lbs in 2 days). My MIL had to come and drive me to daycare to get Dylan for his well-baby doctor appointment because I was so fevered (even with Tylenol) I couldn't drive. Thank you Mom! Then she came back to help me pick him up at the end of the day. It was a good thing she did, because I don't know how I would have managed until Darren got home without her.

Dylan's fine. (Thank goodness). He weighed in at 18lbs, 14oz and measured 29 inches. Both of these numbers are off the chart (>95%). He got 4 shots, which he absolutely loved. There is still some fluid in his ears, and she's a little concerned with how his head is growing, so they want to see him back in a month. I think they just miss his cute little smiling face (and my frowny frowny wallet) when we're not there.

So anyway, back to the sick ward. Darren is also still fighting something off, so Uncle Mike took pity on us and came up Saturday to help out. Saturday we were actually a little better (Read: I did not have to go to the hospital for IV fluids) so Uncle Mike made us chicken soup. Mmmmmm. Thank you Uncle Mike! (Had we not been feeling better, he would probably have had to drive me to the hospital. Yeah, it was that bad).

We appear to be on the mend, sort of. At least we are able to take care of our little baby now.

But poor Dylan. Even though he wasn't sick, of course the weekend couldn't be wonderful and smooth. We started him on barley cereal Saturday afternoon. He loved it. His belly, however, did not love it. So the poor little guy had a bellyache and diarhea all Sunday. So what now? We wait til next weekend and try oatmeal. And if that doesn't work, we move to bananas or pears or some other such fruit.

You know, this was supposed to be getting easier. It's not. It's definitely more fun at times, because he's so cute and happy and giggly and playful, but it's definitely not easier.
