"Does this dress make my butt look big?"

Quote of the day:
"Does this dress make my butt look big?" - 4 year old lil girl at Raegan's daycare

Speaking of Raegan's daycare, today at lunch I get a call from her teacher saying that Raegan has a rash and I need to come pick her up in case its contagious. Of course, I would get this call the one day that Philip happens to be out of town and can't go pick her up for me. I gather up as much work as I can so that I can finish it at home and head out. Once in my car I call the doctor to see if they can fit me in and if we can move her shots we have scheduled for Friday to today so that I don't have to miss so much work. They fit us in, but couldn't do her shots today, so we'll be going back again Friday.

When I get to the daycare, I see the sweet, elderly woman cleaning up the tables where the older children sit to eat. I see her every morning when she is setting out their breakfast. She says to me, "well you sure are early today." I mention that they called me and then headed back to find Raegan, who I expected would have red bumps all over her lil body. When I got to her room she was sleeping in her bouncer (surprise, surprise). (In case we haven't mentioned, everytime we go to the daycare, no matter what time of day Raegan is in her bouncer :(

Anyways, I gather her belongings and then pick her up and her teacher shows me a couple of red bumps Raegan has 1 on her foot, 1 on her thigh and one on her face. Being a first time mom, I don't know what this means, but the teacher and daycare director convince me that its probably hand and foot rash because a baby in the room next door had it last week.

So I take Raegan to the doctor right away. We play and take pictures in the waiting room, which I wasn't sure whether I should sit in the sick baby section or well baby section, I guess it didn't matter as we were the only ones there anyways. When we see the doctor she looks confused and asks what rash I'm talking about. I was like well there's a couple of these bumps. She said it looked like a lil skin irritation (like from clothing or a blanket) and was nothing to worry about and then wrote me a note for the daycare. Wow, did I really just leave work and pay to find out that nothing was wrong afterall... I'm thankful that the daycare is cautious and that she's okay, but they had me all worried over nothing.

They weighed her today at 14lbs 15 oz but didn't take any other measurements... they should do more of that on Friday before she gets her shots, that won't be a fun afternoon!
