three-day weekend vs. six-day fever
Guess who loses? Squeaky has one of those awful baby viruses that cause day after day of high fever and sore throat. As of this afternoon we are heading into Day 7. Every day he has a few hours where he's happy and playful and hardly seems sick at all, but mostly he is 26 lbs. of whining misery. Medicine just takes the edge off for a while. With all the crying and the nursing and the not-sleeping, it's like he's a newborn again. (Only three times the size.)
In more interesting news, we just got a copy of the coolest field guide I never knew existed. It's The Songs of Insects! Learn the trills and chirps of over 70 different crickets, katydids, and cicadas! And the book has *gorgeous* photography -- if you like bugs. I have already used it to ID two Lesser Anglewing katydids on my window last night.
