"The Piper is down, I repeat the Piper is down"


Okay, so maybe you don't get the title of my post, it's from So I Married An Axe Murderer (a classic to Drew and I).
Well, our piper (Izze) seems to have caught a bug of some sort. It started yesterday, she was quite clingy and I knew something was up. Our wake-up call (or shall I say my wake up call) was at 11:50pm, she was burning up. She was so tired she just wanted me to hold her. I brought her into our bed (which NEVER happens in the Halbesma house) because I was exhausted and we laid there for a good hour and a half. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and asked her if she was ready to try her bed again, thank God she agreed. After finally trying to get to sleep, but worrying like any mother does if their baby is okay, I finally dozed off around 3am.

Morning came early, as another fever broke out at 6:00am. Again Iz was in our bed, but this time Drew put on a princess movie so she was quite happy. Drew and I got another hour of shut eye and then the credits began to roll and we were up and going. Izze was pretty lazy all day, taking a 3 1/2 hour nap and quietly playing with her Legos. The fevers continue to come and go, which is so strange. She asked to go to bed at 8am and I am not one to argue that. I once heard (I think from my mom) that when your child is sick, you feel the pain too. I completely agree, my day was not the same. I miss my ballerina : )

  1. we had something similar here with Camden. Mainly just a fever, low appetite and energy. Nothing else. It lasted only one day. Weird. Glad she's feeling better. That picture of her reminds me of me and you when we took ballet. :)
