Weekend Review: It's Baaaack

The curse is back. After spending the entire month of January sick, we had a couple of blissful illness-free weeks. But...it's back. We're all sick.

Maggie had her first week of day care and by Friday night was not feeling well (we actually expected this--daycare being the breeding ground for this sort of thing). By mid-Saturday she was feverish, limp, and totally pathetic. Her temperature climbed through the night and broke early Sunday morning. She had "slept" with us because we were so worried about her. I mostly just hovered over her. Plus sleep wouldn't come with two sizzling hot feet digging into my stomach. Maggie has a habit of calming herself by scratching the sheet to fall asleep. While I was constantly kicked, Patrick got the pleasure of her tiny hand scratching him all night but somehow managed to sleep a little!

We almost took her to the emergency room but were calmed by a call to Em's pediatrician husband Wes. Now she's back to her old energy level with the added loveliness of a head full of snot and a juicy cough. And, I've got it too! Patrick is a pretty hearty guy but I think even he is showing signs of this illness.

I took only a few pics this weekend. Here's Maggie helping her daddy with his coin collection. He's super patient about letting her "help". She helps him identify what he has using books, the internet, and most importantly the "big" (magnifying glass).

Those little fists are holding onto some coins.
