I would like to announce to the world how ready I am to no longer cancel plans due to last-minute illnesses. Frome here on out, I will make sure to schedule our illnesses at socially convenient times.

We went in with N for a quick checkup at the weekend pediatric clinic and wound up going through the ER and checking in to the hospital for a day and a half, since she apparently had pneumonia. N is a stoic little extrovert, so as soon as we had some visitors in the hospital room, she got up and started running around. We're home now, half a day early, and I am going to take a really really big nap in my really really big bed with my really really snuggly baby.
