Rosie Posie Baby

 I had a completely different blog post all written and ready to go for today but have decided to postpone it to document Miss EC's first official sickness. And  I'm sad to report that while Emma Claire's fever is gone we have confirmation now that her virus was Roseola. What is Roseola you might ask? Well the official definition is: Roseola (also known as sixth disease, exanthem subitum, and roseola infantum): a viral illness in young kids, most commonly affecting those between 6 months and 2 years old. It is usually marked by several days of high fever followed by a distinctive rash just as the fever breaks. {Via Kids Health}

 She is just pitiful. Poor baby.

 The rash is much more red in person.

 You can see more of it here. Thankfully it isn't raised and doesn't seem to bother her that much.

 It's all over her tiny little body.

 On her little chest.

 She is happy most of the time. But she can go from smiling and laughing one minute....

To screaming and crying the next                                                                                                                                                                   She is down for a nap now, thankfully. I talked with our pedi this morning and they aren't concerned. Since her fever is gone and the rash isn't terribly red, inflamed, or infected they think it will pass soon. Hopefully she will be rash free tomorrow. Sadly we decided to skip baby gymnastics today. I know she isn't contagious right now but I know I wouldn't be crazy about a baby showing up covered in a rash! ha!  On another note...my enter key is broken. Which on it's own doesn't sound like a big deal...until you try and write a blog post without it. Pretty tricky. And annoying. Anyone have any quick fixes for that? I have been googling for 30 minutes trying to fix it.
