I gave a short squeak when I saw Chloe this morning. She had developed rashes all over her face and neck. I tried to calmly manage my shock and emotions as she was looking at me with such sad eyes. I immediately called her doctor’s office and was able to make an appointment for this afternoon. We thought that we can still make it to church and take her to the doctor’s afterwards, so I was getting her ready. She didn’t have much of appetite so she had a little bit of banana and some strawberries for breakfast. When I took her to her room to pick out her outfit, Chloe kept pointing at her crib and cried holding my hands. I didn’t realize why she was doing that until I put her in the crib. She just laid down quietly and went to sleep. Poor thing, she needed to sleep and rest more. Andrew went to the service by himself and I stayed home with Chloe.
When we finally took her to see a doctor, he said the rashes were her body’s reaction from the high fever she’s had and that it should hopefully go away in a couple of days… she’s been through so much…

Besides her being sick, Andrew had a noise bleed this morning from lack of sleep, and I’ve had stomach cramps all night. I decided to check myself into a hospital on Saturday morning suspecting contractions. It was scary since I’m only 23 weeks pregnant. Apparently, I was dehydrated and was doing too much. After a few hours of rest/nap and the help of IV, my contractions slowed down. I was happy (and relieved) to be released from the hospital the same day.
What a weekend!
