Stowa is still sick. Day 3 of this crap. Tuesday she was vomiting all day. Didn't want to eat. But when she did she'd start vomiting. Was clearly getting dehydrated which was why she had to go to the ER. A full day of no wet diapers = ER trip.
Yesterday her temp was at 99.? all day. I let it go. Her ped said that if it got to 100.0, then we load her up with Tylenol. So that's what I did. About 4 pm her temp was up to 100.4. She had been lethargic and puny all day. Gave her Tylenol and she took a nap. Around 7 when she woke up she looked like she was feeling better. She napped off and on until about 10. Temp was back up to 100.5. More Tylenol. She ate and then we were getting ready for bed. Which is when she promptly vomited all over the bed. Gave her some of the anti-nausea meds. Sat up with her until 1 am. She finally went to sleep.
Around 3:30 am she woke up to eat. While she was eating I noticed that she was hot. Temp 101.4. More Tylenol. Then she was just miserable. Restless, whiny, tired, etc. Poor kid. We sat up until 5:30 am. She passed out and the fever had gone down.
When we woke up this morning the fever was back (99.9) so she got more Tylenol. She's napping right now. She still doesn't feel good.
This sucks. I'm sick of cleaning up vomit. Yesterday the cats both decided to join in on the fun. I was vomiting again yesterday as well. Itchy didn't feel good yesterday either. This virus needs to go away.
*This post was not paid for by Tylenol, even though I mentioned them like 587 times.

ER Trip
Stowa still feels like crap. We had to take her to the ER last night. She's getting better, but man does she look sad.

House of horrors
We're currently living in a house of horrors. The horrors? Mostly vomiting. Some diarrhea. And a few stomach cramps. I'll spare you the details.
Off to hose down the apartment with bleach!

Almost
We're back home! The externships are over (they both went well- both places loved Itchy and gave him glowing reviews). It's nice to be back in our own little world. I'm almost finished unpacking. Stowa doesn't seem all that interested in unpacking. She has found that unpacking draws the attention away from her and that is not cool with her.
Itchy and I are the proud new owners of a stair master. Yay I guess. Itchy says we are too fat and we need to exercise. He also says that we need to eat better. I suppose that he is right. I'm back down to my pre-baby weight (which still means I need to lose weight) but the flab! It's got to go! I'll be looking for a good way to tone everything. I've heard a lot about this 30 day shred thing so I'll be looking for that.
Stowa turned a whole 3 months old the other day (16th). She's thisclose to rolling over. She's laughing a lot now too. Apparently, my pretend sneezing is hilarious. She's a really happy girl! We're going to get her pictures taken on Friday.
ETA: She rolled over last night. All by her little self! She looked pretty surprised by it!
Got her pics taken. Adorable!

250 things about me
Wow, this is my 250th post. I guess I should follow the tradition and post 250 things about me!
1. I'm totally kidding. It damn near killed me to think of 100 things for the 100th post. Not to mention that by oh, number 34 things would be getting mighty boring.
Anyway, here's something that's not boring. Itchy and I are getting married again. Legally this time. On Valentine's Day. We bought wedding bands and everything.
Like our first wedding, it's pretty last minute. We won't really have guests. Just us, Stowa, two witnesses, and the officiant (who just so happens to be a friend of ours).
Since we would at some point like to be able to celebrate this with all of our friends and family we are planning a "Third time's the charm" themed wedding and reception once Itchy is done with school. It was Itchy's idea and at first I wasn't sure about it, but now I totally want to run with it. We'll have to see what Itchy's job offers look like before we make any plans but it could be really fun!

A little update
So much has gone on lately. I've been a busy. The blog isn't the only thing I've neglected lately. So we'll start with an apology.
I'm so sorry Cuddles and Patches. I still love you guys but man, the baby takes up a lot of my time. Itchy is a deadbeat (in the most lovingly kind sense of the word) so we all know he isn't going to help with you two. It'll get better. And then worse (Stowa is surely going to torture you both). But then better again. I promise.
Other than that things around here are weird. Itchy's dad is still annoying. We get to spend so much time together these days. I feel bad for him because I can tell he's sad so I let a lot of things go. I keep telling him he needs to find a new hobby. Something to take up some of his time. Like golf. Old people like golf right? Plus if he takes up golf he'll probably buy a golf cart. And if he buys a golf cart I can drive it around when we come to visit. I've always wanted a golf cart. I think when I get old I'm going to live in one of those communities where everyone just drives around in golf carts all day.
There's a little off topic tangent for ya! Anyway, FIL has decided that I am his confidant. He tells me a lot of things and always adds a "Don't tell anyone else, especially the boys". MIL and FIL's friends have also told me a lot of crap. Apparently, I come across as a great secret keeper. But let's get this straight. I can keep a secret. In fact I was told a secret in 1986 and still haven't told anyone. But if you tell me something about Itchy or about Itchy's family, I'm going to tell him.
Stowa is doing great. Lots of talking and smiles. She's hitting the milestones the book says she is suppose to be hitting. As I suspected, the 6 hour stretch of sleep was a fluke. The very next night she was up every 2 hours. Last night she stayed up until 2 am. For no apparent reason. Not crabby at all. Just didn't want to sleep. I blame FIL for getting her all riled up when we went up to say goodnight.
I've got other big news to share but Stowa is hungry so it'll have to wait.

Volume Control
Stowa has learned that she can control the volume of her voice. She's been talking for a while now but yesterday she figured out how to yell. It's pretty cute.
