43 Weeks - Roseola Virus

Cara and her rash :(

Well, Cara was sick most of the week. She contracted Roseola virus somewhere along the way and last weekend had a high fever from Saturday until Monday evening. We took her to the Dr on Monday mid-day and the Dr thought it might be strep throat so she prescribed her some penicillin and we were on our way. After a dose that night and one the next morning I noticed a rash spreading all over Cara's neck and torso. I called the Dr and back we went to see if it was a penicillin reaction, luckily it was not. The Dr immediately knew that it was Roseola virus and said to stop the medicine and that the rash would last a few days and then it would be over. And she was right - Cara's rash is all gone now and she is fine :)

She has also been teething all week so we haven't done too much - a walk with Nana, a trip to the swings, playing on the grass has filled the week. Cara has also started napping really well usually giving me 2 naps each 1.5 hours! I hardly know what to do with myself!!!

Eating Cheerios with a really big spoon.

Soothing her gums with a frozen peach.

Feeling better.

Feeling good and showing off her teeth!
