update on the bug bite
Jun. 23rd, 2008 10:57 pmSo it was strongly suggested from various peoples that I get that bug bite checked out, so I ended up going in to the doctor this afternoon. M came home early (nicey nice!) and stayed with Evelyn so I didn't have to drag her in with me to a nasty doctor's office. It's (probably) an infected unspecified spider bite. At least it isn't a brown recluse! I have a round of antibiotics and a skin cream and hopefully that will take care of it. I picked up the prescription but I had two separate (expired, it turns out) tubes of the same stuff in my drawer. How many kooky skin conditions does one person deserve, anyway?
I have discovered something recently that I think all parents of baby girls should know. Your life will be easier if you go buy your kid a pair of khaki shorts/pants from the boys section. This will guarantee that there are no flowers, butterflies or hearts embroidered on them, and they will therefore match anything. I wouldn't have bought them to begin with because they're so plain, but we got a pair with the hawaiian print shirt that we bought her recently to match her father and that is when I discovered that they are so freaking fantastic. She has a lot of cute tops that don't match any bottoms because the shade of pink is wrong or the red flowers don't match the purple flowers or something silly like that. She probably has more unmatched pieces than some kids because we get so many of her clothes from her older cousins, but I have bought her a few unmatching novelty shirts myself. ("My Daddy Is Wrapped Around My Little Finger" for example.) Do it, you won't regret it. I have also heard rumors that boys pants are cut with more room than girls, which is nice for cloth diapered kids.
M's sister will be here in less than three weeks. We have not yet repaved the driveway or any of our ridiculous preparing-for-company tasks. I imagine we'll regret that in about two weeks. ;) She is actually in the US already, visiting with her best friend from childhood, who happens to be an American who lived in Sweden as a kid. We're looking forward to it.. should be fun. And M will have the week off! That sounds fantastic. It's too bad he couldn't take time off last year when his parents were here, but for some odd reason he had used up all his vacation days already when we had a baby. ;)
