Today at the store I look down at Lily and she is covered with spots. I think, heat rash is the best possible explanation but I am pretty damn sure it's scarlet fever and didn't that blind Mary Ingalls?!? So off we go to the doctor. She has roseola - which does this: you have major fever for like 4 days for no apparent reason and then you get better and POOF a rash appears all over your torso. Kind of like shingles or chicken pox, but only kids under the age of 3 get them.
Seriously?
Seriously.
This means we've been to the hospital about 7 times in the last 21 days - that has to be some kind of record. I said to my daughter today, our goal, Elizabeth, is to make it until 2009 before we go back. She just kind of laughed at me and then pulled my hair.

Seven times in 21 days? Why am I chuckling?
This child apparently has all kinds of plans for your future. Let the fun begin!
She's just making up for the uneventful first year of her life. Good luck with that!
Just wait for the chicken pox and their oozing gross itchy spots that you have to keep the little ones from picking at! This will seem like a piece of cake! Shingles aren't fun either, ask Jubee. Oh, and don't ALWAYS bet on the chicken pox shot. Jubee's best friend got the nastiest case of CP from Jubee's shingles.
Have fun!
Thank you Athena - now why are we trying to have another one? Why is 2 better than 1? If you multiply this by 2, I'll be at the hospital 14X a month.
Sounds like twice the fun!
Don't pay too much attention to Athena. (She's feeling a little shi**y today, literally.) Actually, her kids weren't much harder than the Princess, including the broken bones.
