Miguel thought is would be a good idea to pull all his toys out of the basket and then attempt to climb in. With a little help from Mommy, mission accomplished! He really liked being pushed in the basket all over Sweetie and Papa T's living room floor.
Miguelito and I had a great time visiting family while we were in Baton Rouge even though we both weren't feeling terribly great. I managed to take a couple of photos while we were there and they are long overdue making their debut on the blog.
Miguelito got his first taste of Diet Coke...yes, I know, but what happens at Sweetie's house, stays at Sweetie's house.
Ughh, not too sure about the first sip of carbonation
This is kind of fizzy, Sweetie, and my tongue is tingling!
Well, let me try just one more sip.
And another.
Dang, that was GOOD! Let's keep it between me and you...don't tell, Mommy!
Miguelito wants everyone to know he is going to be a big brother! Baby Wood v2.0 has an approximate release date of 21 October 2008. We are over the moon excited and feel incredibly blessed.
Update on us....
Miguelito has made a full recovery. Me, eh, not so much. I am feeling better, but my cough is something pretty fierce. I have photos to upload and posts to do, but it probably won't happen until tomorrow night at the earliest. My good friend, her husband and adorable toddler are visiting from Houston this weekend, so we are busy chatting and watching our toddlers play while I hack up a lung and run to the bathroom to pee every 3 minutes. ;)
Miguelito and I are running a close race for who can use the most Kleenex in a day. Poor little man and poor poor Mommy.
After a few phone calls, I was able to get another antibiotic called in for myself without having to go to the MD since that would have required bringing a very fussy and clingy 14 month old with me. I am now taking Augmentin twice a day for the sinus infection from Hades, and I seem to be a bit better this morning. If only the darn hacking cough would go away so I could sleep at night. Did you know that sinus pressure in your face can make your teeth hurt?
I took Miguelito in to see his pediatrician yesterday morning and he still has an ear infection in his right ear and he has coxsackievirus, which is a relative of the virus that causes hand-foot-mouth disease. He does not have hand-foot-mouth disease, but has blisters/whelps in his throat along with a runny nose. He is also taking Augmentin twice a day along with Tylenol and Motrin for pain. He is not eating well, but seemed to be in better spirits today than yesterday.
I really hope by tomorrow Miguelito and I will both be feeling much better, and I will have something upbeat and witty to post about.
It's off to the doctor we go...AGAIN! It seems that Amoxcil is pink junk in a bottle and does nothing for Miguelito. He and I flew home yesterday evening and by this morning he was running fever again and not himself. The cough is gone, but the runny nose continues. He is half way through the second 10 day course of Amoxcil, and he is no better. So it looks like he is going back to the pediatrician tomorrow.
I started Zithromax on Friday for my self diagnosed sinus infection and hacking cough. I still feel like a freight train plowed over me, so I am calling the doctor for myself as well tomorrow.
And the cherry on the proverbial top of it all is Miguel says he has a headache and doesn't feel well. Of course, he blames his sickness on Miguelito and me, but seriously, we have been home together for less than 24 hours. (Insert the most loving voice ever here.) Give me a break, dude. Could you have possibly contracted something from the 1000 or so people you were with last week?!?!
So much for the TLC I was hoping for this week...guess I will be the one giving out the TLC now.
It appears that Miguelito was "well" for a mere 24 hours. He and I flew to Baton Rouge on Sunday for the week and by Sunday evening his runny nose was back with a vengeance and he was hacking up a lung. One phone call later to his pediatrician in Dallas, he was back on Amoxcil for another 10 days. He seems to be feeling better...the cough and runny nose are subsiding thanks to the antibiotic, or it could be because he passed the germs onto me...his Mommy.
So, now I am blowing my nose every 2 minutes, hacking up a lung, and feel like I am swallowing razor blades. How come no one told me Mommies don't get sick days?!?!
I promise photos tomorrow.
Miguel ran fever all night and most of today. The pediatrician declared his ears and throat clear, but it was given the catch all diagnosis of "viral infection." Take Motrin and Tylenol, and call if he gets any worse or other symptoms appear.
Once we got home, he seemed to be feeling a little better, so I broke out the finger paints and he had a blast until he decided he. was. done.
We are leaving for Baton Rouge tomorrow, while Miguel flies to Seattle for MS Sharepoint Conference and then Las Vegas for MS Mix08 at The Venetian. Yeah, I feel for him...NOT!
