Heehee!!
Actually...
The past few weeks have been very ... laundry-full. About two weeks ago S got a cough. It went away and almost the very same day, he started throwing up... four-five days of fever, vomitting, diarrhea, miserableness. Then it stopped (although the diapers are still kinda gross), and he got a rash. Started out raised and red and looked like Roseola (that's basically a rash that can develop after a high fever). Called the pediatrician this last monday about it and they said it sounded like Roseola. Ok. So I took D in that day cause he'd had a fever virus thingy for about 2-3 days. They tested him for strep and it came back negative. That night, Ike began throwing up with a fever and diarrhea. That lasted till Wednesday, when Isaac threw up all over the dinner table. That was fun. But that was the last time he got sick and has been acting normal since. D's fever went away on Tuesday (Yay!), but S still has the rash. It's not red anymore, hasn't been since Tuesday morning/Monday night, but he still has really leathery skin covered in little bumps. He acts like he feels fine, aside from the itching. So I took him to the doctor today. He said it was probably scarlatina... in other words... Scarlet Fever. Don't people die from this? :D No, apparently not. Thank goodness for modern medicine! The -tina on the end of scarlatina, however, means that it's an acute form of the scarlet fever. He'll be fine and is acting like his normal self and is no longer contagious. He just looks weird. :D I can't wait till he starts peeling... hmm.
That's all. My update for the week.
Oh yeah, I'll add some pictures...
Mags loves her saucer... so much so that it puts her to sleep (these are pictures taken two days in a row...) AND... for my mom's birthday, I bought some helium balloons and we let (one of them) go for her/ "to" her. Isaac cried and did NOT want to let his go. We had been talking about how it was Granni's birthday and we were gonna have brownies and let our balloons go for her. I think the idea of letting it go was too hard. Actually, seeing that balloon flying away was kinda hard for me too...
