Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes....(31 weeks baking)

Knees and Toes.  Oh no wait, I think I have that wrong....Hand, Foot, and Mouth is the correct identification of what Jude is currently tackling.  BUT it has appeared on EVERY part of the body.  Odd!  Hand, Foot and Mouth.  Might as well educate on this fun childhood disease right!?

Starts with low fever.  That was spotted on Monday.  He took a 4 hour long nap.  Then on Tuesday, during bath I noticed a blister on his ankle and rashes randomly throughout his body.  Behind his knees, arms, butt, and low back.  I thought "Oh man, I'm a horrible mother for changing his diaper more...." Ha.  Then I recalled a friend of mine telling me what her daughter had a few months ago.  Grabbed him out of the tub, watched him pee on his rug, and grabbed the "parents handbook" given by the pediatrician office. (Feeling quite proud that I remember the book and even location of it)  Yep.  Jude's symptoms pretty much go straight down the line of description.  Fever on day one, blisters on feet, hands, and mouth.  He did have just a little bit of "face acne" or what I thought was that.  Regardless...I just watched it then called the pediatrician the next day because he had blister on his ears that day.  Odd.  Ended up taking him in on Tuesday to double check HFM and not the pox.  Dum dum dum.  Yep, Ped said it was indeed HFM and Jude's case is odd and resembles that of the 2010 outbreak.  Ummm, okay.  So that means it's everywhere on his body pretty much.  It does not hurt him or bother him much.  Granted, every once in awhile he'll notice a "boo-boo...boo-boo."  From what I understand it lasts 7-10 days, is contagious (John will get it first), does not hurt (minus the sores in mouth), and is just annoying.  So we're locked up here all week/end.  Every once in awhile he'll be clingy, sweet, or what me to hold him...and we all know Jude is pretty independent but that's okay. I don't mind it ;)  I hope this is it and it doesn't get worse though.  So here's what it looks like and what we've been up to.

       My moms so funny, says Uma will be his only friend for the week.  Sad but she's a good friend.

 Mr. Fix it.... Tim, I did find a screw driver to work...and I'm completely UNIMPRESSED, almost disappointed, with the train sound.  Sigh.

                                                                      Still having fun!

                                           These were actually the last (well so far) to pop up.

Now, the movies!  Here's what you do inside all day with a sick baby....

                                                 Ahh, Jude LOVED the towel dispenser...

                                                                    RUN RUN RUN!

                Hmm eating the baseball...yep we are destined to get this.  I bank by end of weekend.

So the random word song is a song that is sung in Kindergarten.  A-Apple Apple then you make the letter sound.  B-Baby Baby-bababa etc. Anyways, he may not know every letter BUT he knows many letters sounds.  Ha, so funny to hear him make them!  

As for me.  I'm 31 weeks today.  WAHOO.  I am very confident that no 2 (or me, I don't really know how that stuff works), has hit a growth spurt.  Perhaps the one it was suppose to hit at 27 weeks....I feel huge.  The bump is actually getting in my way now :)  Kicks stronger, harder, more frequent.  OUCH.  I can't believe it's nearly mid July.
