not the average fever

What a week! Last weekend Diya started getting sick and we thought 'oh great here we go again'. On Monday we thought she was on the road to recovery...boy, were we wrong. It turned out to be the worst sickness she's ever had. Tuesday morning daycare called saying she had a fever. She ended up having it for almost 4 days after that. She didn't touch her toys. She wanted to sleep or be held all the time. She was very cranky. It was a totally different Diya. She stayed home from daycare for 4 days. I took one day off and Premal took a couple and my mom helped us out on Friday.

Doc said she had a virus and we just had to wait for it to take its course. We could only give her meds(tylenol and Ibuprofin) to help with fever and aches and pain. She also ended up having a slight ear infection. We were very surprised at this since that was the point of getting tubes! Doc said it was unfortunate and explained that some dirt may have gotten in and partially blocked the tubes. That was just great news for us. Anyway, past weekend she was pretty much back to her normal active self.

We are definitely seeing more obvious signs of the terrible-two's. She screams so loudly when she doesn't get her way. If we yell at her she will run off crying and go to another room. She is showing signs of mini tantrums. If we take something out of her hands she cries, falls to the ground and kind of bangs it. This will be lots of fun to deal with when #2 arrives ;-)

On a more positive note, I am 2 months away from my due date. Premal brought down Diya's newborn clothes from the attic and I totally enjoyed going through them. I can't wait for him to set up the new dresser so I can start organizing it. We will need to make one more trip to the attic for the bouncer, Diya's old milk bottes, and some other random things. I'm starting to get really excited about #2! Seeing a couple of babies past weekend has gotten me even more excited. I'm also really hoping she will be early.

I'm also excited that Neha will be coming here to help us out. Her tickets aren't final yet, but she's coming begining of May and staying about a month. She is amazing with kids and I totally trust her with mine.

That's it for now.
