Sick!

We've all been sick around here. Actually, it's just me and Eva. I think Ryan is the "carrier monkey". I started out with a cold that turned into a sinus infection. I realized that I had never actually had a sinus infection, because I'm pretty sure I would have remembered that kind of pain in my face. Everything hurt... my teeth, my jaw, my ears, my eyes, my cheeks, my head... pretty much everything. I have been miserable. Today is the first day that I"ve felt better. Except this morning I woke up with a stiff neck so I still haven't gotten much accomplished. And Eva started running a fever last weekend and then developed this rash. The doctor told us she had the Roseola virus. Nothing serious... just fever and a rash. So, she started getting better and was doing pretty good for about 3 days but started running fever again last night. Today it got up to 102, but it comes down with Tylenol. And she has this gross sounding cough and a runny nose. It's so sad to watch a sick baby. She keeps saying "Up. Rock." She just wants to rock all day long. It's sweet. Yesterday, we were rocking and she laid across my lap and I started lightly scratching her back. I noticed that she was calming down and relaxing (she had been fussing/whining). I stopped a couple of times for different reason and she would reach around and touch her back and say "please". It was so sweet. Being a parent is so hard sometimes. I have all of these questions running through my mind, "Should I call the doctor? Is it RSV? Is it croup? Am I just being a first-time mom and she just has a cold? Maybe I should call the doctor. Well maybe I'll get on webmd.com and see what it says." This is the never-ending monologue that goes through my head. I just need to calm down. I'll keep you updated...
