We've been lucky to have daddy home from work and all sorts of at-home time...but only because of sickness. Jim lost his voice completely last week and I told him he was my frog prince (but not getting a kiss :-) Nicole got Fifth's disease, a virus that causes a wierd rash on the face and then a weblike rash on the body-see the picture below. Michael and Nicole both took turns coughing at night, but luckily water in a sippy cup fixed that each night since it wasn't congestion. And me...well, I've been fine, just 5 and a half months pregnant and more than happy when everyone in the family was asleep by 8:30 each night :-)
I plan on lots of pics from Thanksgiving Day, but I wanted to share a few updates and cute stories.
We've been to the doctor a lot lately for my baby appointments to Michael's 15-month appointment to Nicole's sick visit. At Nicole's visit, she answered the nurse's questions as if the nurse were asking her what her symptoms were and even explained how her excema is itchy and needs cream and "I itch it like this." She shared that she was "only three and not five and can't get baptized yet because I'm not eight."
At Michael's visit, the doctor got to deal with my little wiggle worm to try and check him out. After Michael had stolen his cell phone and pen, the doctor emptied his shirt pocket on the table. Michael refused to lay still and at the end of his exam and various comments about Michael's determination to move the doctor gave me a big lecture on saftey since Michael is apparently such a hazard waiting to happen. 4 shots later for Michael and 1 shot later for Nicole (we're all H1N1 and flu vaccinnated now, wohoo!) we got Michael's stats:
Weight: 21lbs5oz (10%, eats like a pig, has Jim's genes to still be this skinny)
Length: 32.5in (>80%)
Head: 18in (when the nurse put the measuring tape around Michael's head, Nicole said "he's a prince!")
Michael still has slight bowleggedness so the doctor was a little concerned about that-apparently doctors are being told to be more on the alert for rickets due to the increasing use of sunscreen and lack of Vitamin D. So our swaggering pirate will hopefully just grow out of this soon so Jim doesn't have to make some AFOs for him.
Meanwhile, preschool is going great and Nicole loves singing time. Here are some of her songs:
