Alex has pretty much been fine since the flu. Last week he had a small fever at night then the next 2 days only ate breakfast and he had lots of gas. His farts sounded like a grown man's farts. He was fine after 2 days.
So, Patrick and I are going to the Endymion Extravaganza and I got a pretty, teal formal dress. I tried it on so Patrick could see it and I came out of the room and Alex had a huge smile on his face and said, "Hey Barbie!"
It was so cute. He thought I was Barbie! Makes an overweight, swollen pregnant woman feel really good.

48 hour flu?
Wednesday, the day he ran through the yard, Alex came down with a high fever. First of all he fell asleep around 6:50pm Wed. night and that is highly unusual. Midnight he woke with a fever then threw up the drink Patrick gave him. At midnight he had 102.7, we gave him Motrin and he had fever around 6am as well. He had fever and we gave him Motrin again. I called the dr to just see what they wanted to do with him, should I just monitor him, etc. They wanted us to come in that day.
He threw up at 11am, right when we were trying to leave for the dr., then threw up around the corner from the dr office. When we got to the office he had 104.7 fever and they gave him Advil and he threw up about 5 minutes later. They gave him more Advil and he kept it down. They took his temp a few more times and also gave him some pedialyte. They swabbed his nose for the flu and it came back positive for strain B. Alex and I both had the flu shot back in Oct. or Nov. I guess the life of the vaccine is short.
He spent all Thursday sleeping, sitting like a zombie, or throwing up. He woke up at 3am Friday morning with a 99.3 temp., gave him some more Motrin.
Finally at 8am Friday morning his fever broke and now it's 2pm and it's still gone. He slept from about 9:30-11:00 then woke up and wanted juice, milk, cereal, waffles, crackers/cheese (Lunchables). I gave him some Lucky Charms, sans charms. He ate 3 very small bowls of dry cereal. About an hour later he wanted waffles, so I gave him a waffle.
He's bouncing around like normal and wanting to play with his toys and go outside (but it's too cold for mommy's taste). He seems normal. Let's hope this stays.

The fun life of a SAHM
Well, it's been interesting. Decided to log in and tell you the newest. Alex has to help us let Oreo outside or a major meltdown ensues. After letting Oreo in the backyard, Alex decides to run outside...barefoot...into our boggy marshland of a backyard. Even the dog has enough sense not to go in that muck.
When I finally get Alex to come inside he has mud all over his feet. I pick him up and he asks for a paper towel. I just toss him in the tub and rinse his feet off. When he's done, he says, "Oh thanks, mommy. Now I all clean."
Yeah son, I did that just for you :) What a stinker.
