I have a bunch of photos from the last week or two, including the kids decorating the Christmas tree, that I haven't posted yet. Caitlin started getting sick Friday night with puking and a high fever. We got her in to the after hours clinic and tested for strep. Luckily, the strep test was negative, but she still had a rough night Friday night and again Saturday night.
The good news is that her fever has broken and seems to be gone. The other good news is that she weighed 23lbs (and some ounces) which is a gain of about 3lbs. from her last check-up. It doesn't sound like a lot -- but for her it is!
We rented movies for Caitlin to watch Saturday to help keep her calm and try to keep her fever down. She has discovered a new Disney character that she loves -- Tinkerbell! She loves the Tinkerbell movie. I think we've watched it probably 10 times each day since we've had it. She is so cute saying "Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell" and she even kinda looks like Tinkerbell when her hair is pulled up into a ponytail.
We took the kids this evening to get their ornaments for this year (we let them each pick out one new ornament each year as a family tradition) and Caitlin picked out the Tinkerbell ornament. Caitlin started crying when the sales lady put it in the box because Caitlin wanted it and thought the lady was taking it away! Conall had wanted the Wall-E ornament, but they were out, so he picked out a Lionel train engine instead.
So far, Conall has only had a low grade fever, if that. We are REALLY hoping he doesn't get this virus. The doctor called it a "flu-like virus." I've had a low grade fever myself, but I'm hoping that is just from running on little sleep.
