Well DH leaves today for his annual fishing trip. He goes every year with his best friend. They traditionally go for a week although last year since Izzy was still a colicky peanut they only went for 4 days but this year he is going the full week. He leaves this morning and doesn't come home till next Saturday!!!!! I know single parents do it all the time because they have no choice, but I am really not looking forward to being a single parent for a week. I think it is especially hard when you stay at home to know that DH isn't coming home at 5:30 so no help with bath/bed or an adult to talk to in the evening.
I know I will make it just fine and I do have some help. My babysitter comes on Tuesday like every week and my mom takes Izzy Thursdays normally and this week she is going to stay over at my mom's wednesday night so that will be very nice to have the night off!
I just hope Izzy goes back to her normal self, we have been a bit out of sorts since Thursday night. She got 3 shots on Thursday that have not treated her well. She was up most of Thursday night after throwing up on me at 2am and was just a mess yesterday. She didnt' throw up but was very tired obviously since she had been up most of the night and very crabby. I think her stomach was a bit upset even though she did not throw up anymore and did eat a bit yesterday. She thankfully slept through the night last night and seems a little better today, she ate a good breakfast. Still a little whiney and is still running a fever, DH just took it and it is 101.8 so I just gave her motrin. I don't know if the fever is still from teh shots or if she has a bug. I talked to the nurse yesterday and she said that the fever and crabbiness is from the shots but her vomitting and stomach issues aren't but who knows. I hope she doesn't have the flu! Maybe I should call the dr this morning.......but I don't want to seem like a neurotic parent although I am sure I am. I don't know about the moms reading but I feel like I call the dr a lot or worry alot and I know my mom friends feel the same way. I really like our dr office but the nurse i always have to talk to on teh phone just rubs me the wrong way sometimes. I feel like she is annoyed with my questions or concerns. Hey I am a first time parent, I worry about everything, give me a break!
So wish me luck this week, I am sure I will be blogging a bit this week. Have a great weekend!

Good luck this week - I would have a tough time too.
I also understand the desire to call the Dr when symptoms seem confusing. All I know is MG had a bit of a tummy virus over Xmas and after about 24 hrs, she started to return to normal. If she starts eating again, it really is a good sign.
