-Elise woke up Monday morning with a fever and was not herself. When it lasted into Tuesday I took her into see the doctor. She has Herpetic stomatitis; which is a viral infection of the mouth that causes ulcers and inflammation.
Poor girl has these sores all over her mouth/tongue and I can't get her to eat a thing! She has been miserable and so have I. It can take up to 10 days to go away and I'm only on day 5. I really hope it won't take all 10- I'm not sure how much more either of us can take!
-It is already May!! I am due this month- I can't believe how fast it's come! I had a doctors appointment on Monday and I haven't started to dilate at all but my doctor says things are progressing as they should at this point! Anyone want to take a guess at when the baby will actually arrive?! Due May 28th and I was 2 days late with Elise. I'd love to hear everyone's predictions!
-As Zack's 2nd year of med school is wrapping up, his exams are piling on! Yesterday he had his OSCE exam. An OSCE is basically a practice physical you give to someone. He practiced on me a few times and let me tell you- this isn't your average physical. It covers everything imaginable. He had to remember everything to check and do it on a practice patient yesterday. I'm happy to say that he totally nailed it :)
-I finished reading the book Wonder by RJ Palacio. My sister Natalie suggested it and I really enjoyed it. It was a fun, quick read and I really liked all the different stories and perspectives from the characters in it.
-My mom booked her flight out to Milwaukee!! I keep joking that I'm just as excited for my mom to come visit as I am to meet our little boy :) She flies out May 25th and gets to stay until June 7th!! She is even going to be here over her birthday to help us out. What a great mom!

A little bit about us
We met each other in high school and have been married since 2008. At the end of 2010 we welcomed our little girl, Elise and in 2013 we were joined by James. We are currently living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin while Zack attends The Medical College of Wisconsin. He is in his 4th and final year of medical school and works very hard for all of us! Emily is lucky enough to stay home and take care of Elise and James.

Haha, I think I'm also just as excited to have my mom come as the baby. That's so great that she gets to stay for so long! I hope poor Elise feels better soon, that sounds awful!
I'm going to say May 28th. I just have a feeling that this baby is punctual. :) (Haha, really I have no idea.)
I read Wonder last year and thought it was really interesting. I'm glad you liked it.
oh so sad about elise! that sounds like no fun; i hope she recovers quickly!
i'll guess may 27th b/c 27 is a lucky number for me . . .
miles and i are reading wonder - i like it a lot so far! it's my book-club choice and so hopefully everyone else will like it, too.
yay for moms coming out - i know you'll enjoy her there.
Oh poor Elise! Jack had something similar a couple years ago. Have you tried magic mouth wash? It's amazing.
Yay, I'm glad you liked Wonder, it is a cute story. ;)
