spiderbaby

right after alexandra got her MMR vaccine (well, about three days later), she got this bump on her arm. first it looked like a mosquito bite which was curious b/c she sleeps in long sleeves. then it became red and hard, with a whitehead in the middle. then, it softened out, whitehead still there. now it's speckled around the edges.

i really thought this was related to the shot; my doctor told me she could have low fevers and rashes for up to two weeks after the immunization. she had some low fevers, so i figured this was a "rash."

but it didn't go away. so, i called the dr. she said to come in. we went in.

IT'S A SPIDER BITE!!!!!!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hate bugs, y'all. i am a serious bug murderer. if they made a bug machine gun, i'd have it to kill those mother effers. instead i have multiple pairs of clogs and birkenstocks. they work fairly well.

but some little bastard bit my baby. i'm so skeeved out, i couldn't fall asleep last night. i kept feeling bugs on me. yuck.

adam asked if a million little spiders would crawl out of the bump on her arm. if they do, i think i'll have to be institutionalized. no lie.

do you think she'll get crazy superpowers from the bite? i'm waiting for her to climb some walls...
