Right now we're supposed to be at Disneyland, enjoying pre-opening access to the new Nemo Submarine Adventure, a special invitation to Pixar employees and their families. We are not, however, in Anaheim. On Wednesday, I got "stomach issues" that involved running to the bathroom frequently. Thursday morning, She Who Must Be Obeyed woke up with the same ailment. By the Thursday afternoon I was mostly on the mend, but She was not, so we delayed our flight from Thursday night to Friday afternoon. Not a huge deal, and better to be safe than sorry.

And then, then came Thursday night.

The baby started fussing mightily around dinner time, was getting obviously congested, by 2am was screaming hysterically and was sporting a 101+ fever. I think we got, maybe, 2 hours sleep over the course of the night. We finally were able to get her fever down a bit, but we all spent Friday stumbling around like zombies due to lack of sleep. A baby with dark circles under her eyes is a particularly horrifying thing.

And I got the pleasure of calling the airline, hotel, and rental car people to cancel our fun family weekend at the Happiest Place On Earth...

Last night, with new drugs for the baby, we were finally able to sleep the sleep of the dead.

And this morning, we woke up to the baby's cold settling into a nice rattle in her chest, and we both have scratchy throats and runny noses.

YAY!
