Quarantined

So, I have been quarantined by my doctor to not go to work. As crazy as this sounds, it is true. There has been a case of Fifths Disease at school and although it is not usually a big deal, it is if you are pregnant.

I have to find out if I have immunity to the disease as it is apparently quite common (although I have never heard of it until this week) and if you have had it before, you have immunity and there is nothing to worry about. If I do not have immunity, then I cannot be at school for awhile. In the meantime, I cannot return to work until my blood work gets back.

It is a massive pain making up lessons for my supply but the nice thing is I have been able to spend two days so far with Nathaniel, which is pretty nice. Plus the fact that in a few more months I will have two babies pushing my current state of exhaustion to a new level is making me enjoy this bit of time and it is a great opportunity to recharge the batteries.

Warning - Your Eyes May Get Sore If You Read This

I have long had a hate on for stupid warnings that anyone with a teaspoon of common sense would know not to do. Example - on an infant bath tub, "Do not leave baby unattended". You think?!

I have especially noticed these warnings seem to rise exponentially as you buy more and more gear for your kids. I have always blamed these ridiculous warnings on Americans who gleefully sue over anything and everything.

But I have reached the breaking point.

I was pouring Nathaniel some organic (of course), straight from the earth, made by Amish people no name Cheerios the other day and on the top of the box it said, and I quote, "Should only be fed to young children who have the ability to chew solid foods while seated with supervision".

Good thing I read this. I was seriously considering not breastfeeding this next baby. I thought it would thrive if I shoved Cheerios down its throat while I left it unsupervised in its swing on the highest speed.

Is there any hope for us if we need this printed on cereal boxes?

I just had to get this off my chest.

Stinky

I had to take the afternoon off because I received a call from Nathaniel's daycare that he was sick. He had a bad case of diarrhoea and was not feeling so well. This morning on the way to work, we could smell something a bit nasty in the car so I fully expected a rank diaper to greet me but he was fine. I guess that was a bit of foreshadowing of events to come.

While he was at daycare, he had a terrible "episode"-I guess it was half way up his chest. One of the workers said she had to use gloves, it was so bad. It wasn't only the sheer quantity of it but I guess the smell was so bad that the workers in the room next door were checking the 2 year olds to see who shit themselves.

We are so proud!

I just had to put this old picture of him up to illustrate his day.
