My Macey-girl was sick all weekend. It started on Thursday and thankfully ended on Monday (well her rash was still around on Tuesday). We took her to the doctor on Monday and they ran blood tests as they wanted to rule out another illness. 3 blood draws in 2 days...yikes. Everything is great, she is fine, and a super strong little girl. I have to add that she didn't cry, blink, move, nothing at 2 of the 3 blood draws. By the 3rd time she was tired of it. She didn't really cry hard, but was just irritated at being in the "scary" doctor's office again. All of the phlebotomists were so shocked at how well she did (even at the one she cried at). The afterhours care doctor said that Macey had Roseola. Her doctor just wanted to rule everything out.
So now my excellent sleeper has turned into a not so excellent sleeper. Since Thursday of last week she's been getting up at 2-3am and then staying up for a while. She was getting up at that time because she was burning up with a fever. However, she hasn't stopped waking up at that time even though she doesn't have a fever anymore. I'm hoping for a quick adjustment period back to her sleeping until a decent hour.
Miles and Camryn haven't shown any signs of illness, so maybe we've avoided getting them sick. Miles's new thing is coughing. No, not a sick cough, but a cough to get your attention. Or to see if anyone is paying attention. If you start coughing back at him he gives you a sheepish grin. He's got this game figured out. Camryn's new thing is pushing air in and out of her nose quickly, so making a panting noise, but with her nose. She does that and smiles as she does it. She's a funny one. Macey loves going with me in the mornings to greet the babies and get them out of their crib. If she hears them up, she will run to their door and start knocking. Macey has also picked up making the doorbell sound. She uses this sound when she gets up. It cracks me up to hear her say from her crib "doo doo" (in the sing song sound of a doorbell). She's letting us know that she's "here". If that doesn't work then she resorts to saying "Daddy pause Daddy pause Momma". She also makes the doorbell noise if someone goes to the bathroom and closes the door. She'll stand outside the door and knock and then do the sing song sound for the doorbell.

DING DONG! fun times around your house!
Roseola can be so scary with the high fever and the rash! And..the fact that you can't diagnose it for sure until the rash comes and it's all over. Yeesh. The beautiful thing is that's it's a "one-time thing". Thank Heavens. :)
