Daily Infant Report

Posted on by

Each day Sophia comes home with a report of how her day went. The daycare lists how many wet diapers and bowl movements and what time(s) she was changed. They list what she ate, how much and what time she ate it. She actually ate a whole jar of peas today! They also write the times her naps start and stop along with a general paragraph of what went on that day. Today’s report is as follows, “Hi there! Sophia had a good day! She painted to mom today. She liked to paint but didn’t like sitting on the high chair alone so I held her while painting.” Sophia brought her masterpiece home and daddy has hung it on the fridge. It’s all blue, Sophia’s favorite color.

Sophia came home with a print out of the pictures taken at daycare from her first and second day. In one she’s looking up at the camera with very puffy eyes :( That was a shot from the first day. The other three pictures were smiley ones. Today she also came home with a fever of 101.6. They were about to call us to come and pick her up when Kurt showed up. We took her temperature at home and it was already down to 99 and an hour later 98.

Flu Shot

Posted on by

Our doctor told us that Kurt and I should get out flu shots so that we don’t bring the flu home to Sophia, so on Tuesday when I had my six weeks check up (seven weeks) I also received my flu shot. My appointment was late in the day so that Kurt would be home and could watch baby squishy pants, so I didn’t feel any affects that day. Wednesday however was completely different. Most of the day I just felt very tired. Sophia and I took a nap from one to three. When Kurt got home I went to the store to get a few things and by the time I got home all of my joints were aching. I felt like I had arthritis in my fingers, the house felt like an ice box and I had a headache. Kurt made dinner and afterwards I asked him to watch the baby. I just didn’t feel good at all. I tired to take a nap but fuss budget just would cooperate with dad and kept wanting to eat. At nine Kurt brought her up AGAIN to eat. I told him to wait a minute while I went to the bathroom. Dinner came up soon after. – That’s not on the list of flu shot side effects. Last night I was so cold I used an extra blanket and woke up in a puddle of sweat (attractive eh?), and today I’m not feeling much better.

The CDC says you can actually get the flu from the flu shot, but then again they don’t list throwing up as a symptom either. From the CDC:

  • Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
  • Fever (low grade)
  • Aches

I hope this can’t be passed on to Sophia. It’s painful not being able to kiss my baby for fear of passing this on. :(

For those with a twisted curiosity last night for dinner we had ham, green beans, and rice – none of which was fully digested. I also drank a lot of the best Martinelli apple juice in the world, so when it came up I had a bit of a hard cider after taste. – Your Welcome.

Sick while pregnant

Posted on by

Yesterday I could feel a cold coming on and I was ticked off. I know who gave it to me. A guy at work came in all last week while he had walking pneumonia! So today I have a full blown cold and I’m at home sick and pregnant on a very nice sunny day. I made an appointment with my doctor under the demands of Kurt and one of my co-workers. The doctor said I have a regular cold and it should run it’s course in two or three days. He said to give him a call if I get a fever or if my cold takes a turn for the worse after two-three days. I can take Tylenol, Benadryl to help me sleep, and Afrin if my sinuses get really bad. Other than that I get to suffer through it. Oh and drink lots of liquids – yadda yadda yadda. The baby is fine. Her heart is still beating strong. I told him that I haven’t felt her much since yesterday and he said that they tend to lay low when mom’s get sick, so I might not feel her much until I get better.
