Day 37, 328 to go

We spent a nice calm day at home today. My mom went home and so did my sister (who spent last night here after babysitting for us last night). Scout colored and painted. We sang songs, watched Toy Story, played, and read books. Typical weekend day at home. Dylan slept and ate more than she has been, and she laughed a lot more today. Hoping to go to bed early tonight - still catching up from a week with very little sleep.

Here is Miss Scout coloring today

Day 36, 329 to go

Quick post for the day. We did go to the game and we had a lot of fun. The Mavs lost, so it was not all fun and games, but I still managed to enjoy myself - even if Michael wasn't thrilled. The seats were amazing. Here is the view with no zoom whatsoever.

We were close enough that we could actually see the faces of the players and other on the court. This guy in the blue stripes is Mark Cuban - the owner!

Day 35, 330 to go

Is it Friday yet? Okay, only one more day. I can handle that. I got an email today that said that I get to wear jeans to work tomorrow because I had perfect attendance in the month of December! Hurray! The shortest month in the school year! lol! Well, it means I get to wear jeans, so I'm not complaining. My mom stayed home with Dylan again today and said she had a rough morning, but got better as the day went on. She wouldn't let mom put her down for naps, though. So my mom (being the I-must-spoil-my-grandchildren kind of grandma that she is :-)) just held her through all of her naps. Oh boy. Upon further probing, I found out that mom slipped down the last 3 stairs while carrying Dylan down sometime this morning. They're both okay. Mom said Dylan just laughed at her. I'm pretty sure she hurt her tailbone, though. I took that same fall when Dylan was about 5 or 6 weeks old and I know how bad it can hurt! I sent a text to Miss Jay Jay (Scout's teacher) around lunch to ask her how Scout was doing this morning. She had been super fussy and whiny before I took her to daycare and I wanted to make sure she was okay. Well, she said Scout was just fine. On my way home, I got a text that said that Scout was having a bad afternoon. She had two nasty diapers and a wicked diaper rash. She was clinging to Miss Jay Jay and just wanted to be held. I think she may be getting some molars in since she acted the same way when she got the first set in.

So now the dilemma... Michael got Mavericks tickets from a parent back in November for tomorrow night. They are 8th row tickets with a platinum parking pass. We've had this date night scheduled for months. My sis was planning to come out to watch the girls. But, now with Dylan being sick, Scout not feeling great, Mom falling, and (did I mention) my sister not feeling so hot either, I'm really torn. It's like everything is stacked against us going. But, I did make it a resolution this year to go out with Michael sans children at least every other month. *sigh* I'll probably go. Will let you know tomorrow (or Sat since if we go we won't get back until late tomorrow night)

So, now the POD

Dylan is playing now, but still not feeling good. Can you tell?

Day 34, 331 to go

Today I went to work as usual. My mom stayed home with our sick little Dylan. She's still very congested and coughing like crazy. Scout is now our little reporter. "Mommy! Diddle cuff. She cuffing, mommy." Lol! Scout was so happy to see that my mom (Sue Sue) was still here when she came home from day care. She had one of the biggest smiles on her face I have ever seen! I cooked dinner while mom watched the girls. At one point, I came into the living room to check on them and found this:

So cute! I talked to Miss Becky today (one of the teachers at day care) who told me that Scout has taken to dancing on the table... with no pants on! Eeesh! I may have to send a roll of duct tape to school with her tomorrow. Ha!

Day 33, 332 to go

Once again, it's Wednesday and I am posting for Tuesday - but I am ready to post today's too! Yesterday Michael got to the hospital a little later than planned and I ended up late to work... I wasn't too concerned though. I mean, my daughter was is the hospital. They released her yesterday morning and she slept most of the day, according to Michael. My mom came back (she had just left on Sunday from Scout's bday party) and she was such a great help. It's always nice to have another adult around since one sick kid can take as much time as two healthy ones. I sleep-walked through the work day and made it home in once piece. I actually took a nap for about 20 minutes under my desk. Yes, I felt like George Costanza.

I am not 100% sure if this one was taken Monday night or early Tuesday morning, but it was in the hospital and time kind of stands still there.

Day 32, 333 to go

POD

Well, it's actually Tuesday, but since I didn't get around to Monday's post, I thought I'd share now. Yesterday started off like a normal, boring Monday. Around 9:30, daycare called and said that Dylan was coughing pretty bad but had no fever. They just wanted to let me know. They had told me on Friday that a little boy in her class had gone home sick and the parents called to let them know it was RSV. I said thank you and decided to take her to the after hours clinic that evening to see what they thought. 30 minutes later they called and said now she had a fever and was wheezing. I asked if it would be okay if I waited until lunch to leave (about 45 min) so that I would only be penalized half a day at work instead of a full day. They agreed. 15 minutes later they called back and said that they put her down for a nap and noticed that her little tummy was working really hard to breathe. They checked her pulse and it was racing. I called her doctor's office and reported all of this. They said that they could do an RSV test, but if it was positive and if she as as bad as it sounded, I would have to take her to the ER anyway for chest X-Rays and breathing treatments. So, I flew up to daycare to get her (thank goodness for light traffic and no cops!). We sat in the ER from noon to seven when they finally moved us to a room. They had let us know by 3 that she would need to stay the night for observation. Last night was torture. She was so uncomfortable and had an IV and heartbeat monitor on her so every time she tried to move, they would pull or come off. She wouldn't lay down in their crib, so she slept on my chest or in the bed next to me all night. I say slept. She dosed. And so did I. We made it through the night, though, and I am at work today. Michael stayed with her this morning and they have since released her. More on that in todays post... tonight. Until then...
