RSV

Like every day, I went to visit Micah at lunch today. But, today I noticed a big warning sign on his classroom door that said the infant room as been exposed to RSV or Respiratory Syncytial Virus.

Great!

Apparently, a little girl in his class started coming down with it over the weekend and has been out all week. Today they informed the daycare it has developed into full blown RSV. Just our luck. Micah started getting sick a few days ago. Luckily he has an appointment with the peditrician tomorrow morning for his 4 month check-up. So, keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't have RSV and we don't have to spend Christmas in the hospital!

Cold

As promised, here are the pics of Micah in his reindeer costume.


Micah has caught yet another cold. Here we go again!

Updates

Yes, you are seeing that correctly. The thermostat read -4 degrees outside this morning and that wasn't even the lowest. Last night we broke a record of -18 degrees. Anyone feel like building an igloo?

Since I finally had a few free minutes I thought I would post a few updates on Micah.

Last week was a blur. With Tom being out of town for a few days and me being busy with Junior League and work, I don't know how I kept my head on straight. The weekend of the 6th and 7th Micah had a chance to meet Santa again. This time at the Encana Children's Holiday Party...and he was awake too. He looked adorable dressed in his reindeer costume. (pictures to come soon)

This weekend we took Micah to his very first hockey game. I lucked up and got last-minutes free suite tickets from work. Micah was a happy boy through the whole game except the 3 times the Avs scored and the loud fog horn went off and the crowd errupted into cheers. It startled him a bit and he made this pitifully cute face with his bottom lip poked out and then began to cry. By the third time we were quick to cover his ears to keep him happy. Saturday night Micah joined us at a Christmas party hosted by one of Tom's co-workers. Micah got to stay up late, but that didn't mean he'd sleep all the way through the night. Sunday night Micah spent the evening with Gail and Wes while Tom and I went to my office holiday party. That's the first date Tom and I have had since Micah made his arrival. Micah did well with Gail and Wes. It goes without saying that he didn't suffer from a lack of attention all evening. Gail even made Micah an adorable Santa face mobile.

That pretty much sums up the highlights.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Micah is quite the talker. I walked into his daycare class on Friday to the whole room sitting and listening to him chat out loud to everyone. He loves being the center of attention and seems to keep the crowds entertained, even the teachers.

I still haven't gotten caught up on everything, but I did manage to get a 2 hour nap this afternoon. Now, it's an hour past my bedtime so that technically only puts me an hour ahead. This will be short so I can hit the hay. I promise I'll fill everyone in on how Micah is doing as soon as Tom is back and I can get a few minutes to myself.

Today Micah seemed pouty. Even Ms. Danielle said he didn't smile much at daycare. Tom claims that he misses his daddy. I can't believe he has developed so much personality so far. He's quickly approaching 4 months old!

My eyes are barely open now. Goodnight!

Here's a video to tide you over until I can put more details up. I'm taking tomorrow afternoon off to catch up on sleep and house work. Running the roost solo is hard work.

Thanksgiving

Here's a couple pictures from Thanksgiving (Thanks Gail!)


Micah can't keep his eyes off of Gia's pig-in-the-blanket. Looks like he's getting hungry for a little more than milk these days.




Isn't this little guy adorable!!!!

With 8" of snow still on the ground this morning, this is how Micah looked as he headed off to baby school. Isn't he cute!
