Update on the spotty kid

Spots appear to be gone. Today we're at seven days since her low-grade fever started, and only four days since the spots appeared. Either she got a really mild case of measles or Doodle has one kick ass immune system (yay breastfeeding!).

We'll keep her in quarantine one more day for good measure.

Thanks everyone for your concern for the bespotted Doodle!

Quarantine

Doodle has measles. So she's in quarantine. Joy.

Trapped. Or, why colds suck.

I am currently being held prisoner. A certain 20 month old has decided that she must nurse the *entire* time she naps, or the nap will cease. So I'm stuck on the couch, grateful for my laptop and wondering if I should take the chance of waking her to get some food.

At least she's sleeping. Last night a thoroughly congested Doodle woke up at 2:15 AM and started requesting "book. Book. BOOK!" until she and I retreated to the living room to read. Three hours later she was finally fading so we went back to bed for a couple of hours. I know she's not feeling well. She nursed ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Well, except for that marathon reading session.

I will be so glad when Doodle is feeling better and our sleep schedules can return to normal. Then I'll be able to pig out, errr, I mean clean, to my heart's content while she naps. Hopefully soon.

Meanwhile I'll use this time wisely - to catch up on my blog reading. :-)
