The weekend proved to be a success. Big sister Aubrey had a wonderful time at her birthday party on Saturday and Alexandria was perfectly content to be passed from one smiling face onto the next! She enjoyed being outside at the park with plenty of people and cool new things to look at (like the giant hissing duck in the pond!).
By the end of the day everyone was worn out, especially Lex! Sunday everyone tried to relax and take it easy as best they could. Lex seemed to still be a little sniffly and was throwing up every so often, but she smiled non-stop.....always smiling.
Well Monday had to come eventually. First thing in the morning daycare called and suggested that she might have Rotovirus because she kept throwing up over and over. Lex's doctor confirmed this was not the case because she was vaccinated against it, but Dad brought her in to the doctor for a quick check. Good news is she is okay. She hasn't gained any weight in the past month due to her being sick, but she has been surviving off her cheeks and thighs weighing in still at 17 lbs 6oz and is 27 1/2 inches long!! Mom and Dad think she'll be just fine, no need to worry that she is sickly looking! For now she needs to adjust to solid food and filter all of that medication out of her system.
Just last night Mom and Dad tried to give her applesauce and she thought it would be fun to make an applesauce fountain. She spit and slobbered every bite, launching pieces onto Mom, Dad, and all over her hair and face. It was fantastic! :)
We will post some birthday party pictures soon!
