feverish child and pregnant mom/熱のある子と妊婦

The baby is not out yet, but I guess it's a good thing for us at this moment.

Pineapple had a high fever last night so we took it very easy and slow at home today. I had to stay up for a while at night taking care of her, and I was quite tired during the day. She was a bit warm, but still she was in such a good mood that she spent lots of time playing, reading, and singing. She told me that she wanted to go play at the park. I told her that it's not a good idea for today. Luckily, it was raining on and off, so it wasn't hard for her to give up on the idea. She is doing okay now, but the fever could come back if she does too much, so we'll have to watch.

On Monday, I had another prenatal check-up. The baby is still positioned quite low, but the doctor said the contractions may not start for another week or so. Since I have been told the baby can come out any day now, I feel like I'm getting tired of waiting... On the other hand, now that Pineapple is not in good condition, it's probably good to wait a little bit more.

赤ちゃんはまだ産まれていません。が、今の状態からだと良い事なのでしょう。

というのも、昨夜パイナップルが熱を出し、今日は家でゆっくりしていたのです。私も夜中に何度か起きて看病をしていたので、日中はけっこう疲れていました。日中、娘はまだ熱っぽかったのですが、機嫌は良く色々遊んだり、本を読んだり、歌を歌ったりして過ごしました。公園で遊びたいと言われたのですが、ラッキーにも雨が降ったり止んだりしていたので、諦めがつきやすかったようです。今のところ問題はないようですが、あまり無理をさせるとまた熱が上がると思うので、様子を見ていかなければなりません。

月曜日は、妊婦健診もありました。赤ちゃんは、相変わらずずいぶん下にいるようですが、お医者さんには今の状態だとまだ１週間くらいは陣痛はなさそうだねと言われました。赤ちゃんはいつ産まれても良いねと言われ続けていたので、待ちくたびれてきました・・・でも、パイナップルが調子が良くないので、もう少し待ってもいいのでしょうね。
