could this be?

I don't know if you've been following our winter but there have been a couple of posts on baby Doodle's ailments. This post will be no different. He is now on his fourth, yes FOURTH, illness of the winter. We drove on the slippery, snowy, hilly streets to the pediatrician's office last night at 7:30 to find out that BD has walking pneumonia. After nearly having to abandon our car on a hill and walking the rest of the way home last night we made it to our house and Mr. Doodlebug went back out to the pharmacy to pick up BD's antibiotic. I got the most sleep last night that I've had in a while -- a stretch that lasted from about 10:00pm to 4:00am (excluding two trips to the bathroom). Baby Doodle woke up around 4:00am and asked if he could get up yet. I slept in his bed until about 6:00 when he tossed and turned, asked for water, requested a tissue until finally I asked if he wanted to get up and watch Thomas. "Do you want to get up, too, Mommy?" was his response. Wanted to? No. Would I? Yes.

I took his temperature again this morning (99.6) and gave him some more Tylenol. He doesn't get the antibiotic again until tonight.

Have I mentioned that I can't wait for the spring?
