Tomorrow we start the second part of our vacation. We leave the grandparents house to go to the other grandparents house---have I mentioned how nice it is having everyone to visit all in one state?? Bonus is that we also get to see my brother, sister-in-law and kids, who all live in the same town Mom and Dad are moving to. Matthew's first time meeting his cousins and aunt/uncle!! How exciting!
You know what's NOT exciting? A sick baby. Yesterday he started getting a fever, which got up to 103.3. He was completely miserable last night and woke up screaming every 15-30 minutes until about 2:30 AM. Nothing seemed to help him except being held. Our best google diagnosis is hand, foot, mouth disease (not to be confused with hoof and mouth disease, since he's a baby, not cattle ). Obviously we're not positive, but today he started developing blisters all over his feet, a few on his hands and I think in his mouth (thus reaching us to said diagnosis). It's a virus, and at the moment the fever is better and he is eating and drinking (perhaps less than normal, but still it seems to be plenty as his diapers are plentiful). All we can hope is that if that IS what he has, it stays as is and doesn't get worse. If it does, I suppose we'll be finding a pediatrician at Mom's house to take him too. He has for the most part been a pretty happy baby today, so it can't be bothering him too much.
Let the vacation continue!
