Well ladies and gents we have finally found out what have been going on with Lexi for the last couple weeks.
She has developed pnemoina.
It all started 3 weeks ago over Easter weekend. Lexi had just started daycare and had just gotten her first daycare cold. She seemed find until Saturday when she spiked a fever. She was beet red, and unfortunatly we didn't have a theomometer with us to take her temp. Luckly we did have some tylonol so we gave that to her and by Sunday she was fine.
Monday came and she went to daycare as normal and everything was fine. She still had the cold, but nothing to worry about. Well then friday I got the call that she puked and we had to come pick her up. My mom was free to watch her so I made an appt with the Dr and the Dr said she looked fine. She did have a cold and it may have been turning into the flu, but nothing to worry about.
I kept her inside all weekend and made sure she got lots of rest. I thought all would finally be good this week. Boy was I wrong.
Dan went to pick up Lexi Tuesday and daycare told him that she woke up from her nap with really red cheeks, but she was acting fine. By the time I got home she was burning up. Took her temp and it was 102.7. Not good. She didn't want dinner which is so abnormal for her, so we put her to bed thinking tonight was going to be a long night because she was going to get up a ton of times.
She did just the opposite. She slept all the way though till morning.
I took her temp once hse woke up and alas she still had a fever. So we made a Dr's appt and just as I was starting to suspect, pnemonia.
So now she is at home resting with Papa. She has slept most of yesterday and today. Shes on meds and fingers crossed she is feeling better by the weekend.
Poor little girl. She looks so sad.
Hopefully no one else at daycare get's it and it leave my baby fast.
Hope you are all having a good and healthy week!

New Routine
Well we have finally kind of gotten into a routine with me back at work.
Iam dreading mornings, but seem to be alright as long as I go to bed early. That is the problem though. I always seem to get a second wind around 9pm. Ugh. Must. Force. Self. To. Sleep.
The only one having a problem with the new routine seems to be Lexi. She was so good at the begining of last week. Even Mimi, or daycare provider, said it's as if she has been their for months.
We must have jinked it.
Thursday she had a rough morning, and the Friday I got the call. Lexi threw up, so I had to go pick her up. I had a feeling something was going on since all week she had been miserable when I picked her up and cried from when I brought her home till bed time.
Up until this point Lexi has been having 4 hours worth of naps durring the day. Once she started day care she has only been having 1. Well after the non stop crying, vomit, and a quick trip to the Dr;s office we have come to the conclusion that she is just exhausted. On top of exhaustion I think she also just misses getting to spent all of her time with Dan and I.
So after talking to daycare, and a weekend of staying at home, and LOTS of rest we have come up with a compromise. Mimi is going to let Lexi have a cat nap at arounf 9 am, and then she will have her usual nap from 1-3 with all the other kids. This all sounds good in theory, so I hope it works and I have a happy toddler on my hands when I pick her up today.
So here I am, sitting at work, bored, with nothing too do. Missing my baby, and wondering how her day is going. I guess we will find out at 5.
Happy Monday everyone!

Work
Well here I am, already into my 2nd week of work.
It's going really well! I am learning tons, and so far it's a ton of fun!
Lexi had a rough first day of daycare, but once she was on day 3 she was amazing! No more tears, and no more clinging to mommy. I can hardly beleive it. My baby girl is growing so fast!
This weekend was Easter, and a wonderful visions of Lexi in a poofy dress, and taking cute pictures outside was put on the back burner thanks to a fever. I'm not sure what was wrong, but she had the worst fever she had ever had, threw up, and at one point was pooping every 45 mins. Poor girl. Luckly she was still her wonderful happy self through it all.
Her fever is down, and she must be fine since daycare hasn't called me to tell me to come pick her up.
Tongiht is grocery night, and then early to bed. I am definitly not used to this early mornings and full time work thing.
Here is the only picture of Lexi feeling somewhat okay this weekend.
Hugs and nail polish,
Jess
