It's no fun being sick and I should know because I've been sick since Wednesday and I don't like it. It started off as a normal day and then Mommy noticed that I started to sound like a barking seal when I coughed. This continued on all day and got even worse at night. That night I got up several time between 8-11 and Mommy tried a couple different things to help me clear out my chest. We started in the bathroom with steam from the shower for as long as we could stand it then she filled up my humidifier and put me back to sleep. One of those two things must have worked well enough cause I slept the rest of the night.
The next morning, I had my well check up at the doctors which Mommy was happy about cause then she could ask Dr. Matt what was going on with me. She thought it was croup from the symptoms that I had. He never said but the things that Mommy did to fix it worked. I was still a little coughy that morning but then the diarrhea started and boy was it stinky. Mommy had to change me at the doctor's office and they had to get of the diaper outside cause it was so bad. The nurse weighed me in at 21lbs6oz (25%) and measured me at 30.5 in (50%) which is what Mommy thought it was going to be. Since I didn't have a bacterial infection or a fever, they gave me my shots and both Mommy and I were going to be in for a long day and night.
The coughing continued all day and so did the diarrhea and then that night the fever came. Around 10:30pm, Yes I had much up and down since 8pm, Mommy checked my temp. and it was 102.3, so here were go for my 3rd round of Tylenol that day. That dose must have helped along with stripping me down to a onesie and light pants for jammies cause I slept for the rest of the night and was cooler in the morning.
Friday was better and only two spouts of diarrhea in the morning cause Mommy put me on the blandest diet ever that day to get rid of the wet poop. But it didn't really matter cause I wasn't hungry at all. I barely at anything all day and refused some of my normal foods even bananas. Weird, I know. Mommy was able to get me to drink more liquids than normal so that I didn't get dehydrated. Last night, I actually slept the whole night with no coughing, no fever and no waking up. In fact, Mommy woke up before me and I'm still snoozing away.
Today I have my first Kindermusik class so I hope I'm not still feeling under the weather so that I can participate and have fun.
By the way, our little peanut is doing just fine. He/she will update when we go to the next doctor's appt. Everything so far is going smooth.

I'm Gonna Be A Big Sister!!
As most of you already know, I'm gonna be a big sister. Well, today, Mommy, Daddy and I went to see the baby for the first time at the doctor's office. It was very exciting and a little bit boring cause we had to wait so long to get in, but everything looked good and the ONE baby is just fine.
I know that Aunt Tori thought there was going to be two, but when the doctor looked on the monitor there was just one baby. Whew, could you imagine????
Mommy originally thought that her due date was December 5th according to the internet, but the doctor told her that she thinks it is December 6th. Now wait, it gets even more complicated than that...the baby actually measured from crown to rump (haha what a funny word) 10 weeks 3 days, which actually puts us at December 2nd. So for now, let's just say that I will have a new baby around the first week of December. :) I showed up late for my party, so who knows what this baby has in mind.
Mommy has been feeling a little different with this pregnancy than the last. For one, she noticed right away that she didn't break out with a face full of zits! But on the flip side, it's almost like she has to eat or have something in her stomach to not feel nauseous. She hasn't thrown up at all (no one wants to hear or see that), but the queasiness is a little daunting. It's almost like this baby can't get enough to eat.
For all of you who are wondering, we are not finding out the sex of the baby. We want it to be a surprise and it definitely will be. We also won't be divulging any names, so don't ask. :) Mommy says there are few surprises in life and for those of you impatient people (Aunt Jessa) you will just have to wait. :)
We'll put the ultrasound pictures up soon, so be on the lookout!

Summer Lovin'!
Well, the past week really felt summer was just around the corner. Mommy and me went to the park four days in a row. I'm so exhausted from all the running around I did, but I can't wait for the nice weather to settle in so we can make this a daily excursion. I love playing in the dirt and picking up rocks and sticks to give to Mommy so that she will hold them for me. The dandelions in the park are very enticing and I just felt the need to pick them all up.
During our stint of great weather, Mommy and I also took a trip to the Columbus Zoo. We were going to try and see the baby elephant that was just born, but the line to see him was like 2 hours long (not exaggerating). So we went and saw the other elephants, which were just as good. I loved the gorillas and the bonobos (monkey like animals) because they were so active and jumping around like crazy. We also went to the petting zoo and I just loved the goats and sheep to death. Of course, I attacked them like they were big Shellys. I tend to hit animals. I just don't know how hard my hand actually is sometimes. Mommy has to remind me to be gentle and although she didn't want me kissing the goats, she does make me kiss Shelly to be nice.
Some new things that I have recently started doing: I love to pat my belly, my knees, Mommy's knees, Mommy's belly. Mommy's nose, teeth and eyes are getting quite the good amount of attention because I know where and what they are now. I do know where mine are too, but it's much more fun to smack Mommy in the face to point out to her where her facial features are.
Once again, I've added new repertoire to my dancing and that is tapping one foot at a time. Mommy tells me to tap my foot and I can do it like a champ.
Mommy and Daddy had been talking for awhile about when I'm going to get birthmarks and freckles and the like. Well, a couple days after their discussion of my upcoming moles, Mommy discovered a round little birthmark on my left leg right on my shin bone. It appeared almost like out of no where, but now it's here to stay.
I've also been practicing coming down the stairs at home. While, I still prefer for Mommy to carry me, I can do it. I think she would like for me to become more comfortable with this so that she doesn't have to worry about me falling down the stairs again.
Next up, look for more new and exciting things to occur.
