Oh, needed this, did we?

It doesn’t itch, and it’s not raised. He might have a slight fever, but nothing much over the warmth that all of us are experiencing (I don’t trust our thermometer, but it seems to say he’s slightly warmer than usual), … Continue reading →

Posted on June 20, 2009 by Carrie
