What a week!

Alexandra laid down on the living room floor with her "blankie & winkie" and fell asleep at noon on Tuesday. This HIGHLY unusual behavior for her. So I felt her forehead and sure enough, she was running fever! Tuesday night she threw up in our bed twice and ran a fairly high fever all night. Wednesday was much better and she insisted she was "well", but that was only because she wanted to go outside for a walk! I think we watched the same movie at least 4 times that day in addition to two others, just to keep her occupied!! Thursday her fever was better, but her throat was hurting and then Victoria starts running fever that afternoon. They went down the tubes fast and we ended up at an urgent care clinic sometime around 6PM. Both girls were diagnosed with Strep throat! So for the first time ever, they are both officially sick and on antibiotics. Thankfully they both seem to like their Amoxicillin! Thursday night was grueling for Victoria. Poor baby felt so bad and just didn't understand why. She woke up every hour on the hour and cried for about 10 minutes then went back to sleep. Friday consisted of a lot of holding and rocking, but thankfully Alexandra seems to be on the mend! She says she is "better" and says she is "happy"; however, if I mention that she needs to be gentle or quite because Victoria is sick, she will remind me that she is sick too! It has been a learning experience having two sick babies, but I guess it will always be like this since they are so close in age. The doctor said it was almost impossible for one to be sick without the other one getting it!!
