Sickling

Strawberry Shortcake

It's been a long week of sick, sick, and more sick in our house!  On Sunday, Grace woke up with a horrible cough that progressed into a fever on Monday and eventually a visit to the doctor's office on Tuesday.  When she looked at me during lunch on Tuesday and said, "Mommy, my neck hurts" I knew it was time to call the doctor!    Come to find out she had an ear infection AND a viral infection!!!  No wonder she didn't have much energy and just wanted to lay around over the weekend!!  The doctor took one look at her and said, "Awwww I can tell she doesn't feel well!"  Poor baby!!

She would start coughing and couldn't get to sleep or back to sleep making for LONG days with a tired, grumpy, sickly little girl.  Sooooo we had A LOT of time to play indoors this week.  We played with what seems like EVERY toy she has ever gotten:  Strawberry Shortcake, Lite Brite, puzzles, Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, read at least 5000 books, watched our new favorite movie Toy Story 3 a few times (we'll be getting the first two this weekend!), played with stickers, had a picnic with her Weebles, and that's just what comes to mind right off the bat.  We had beautiful weather all week and finally got outside to play with play-doh for a little while yesterday morning.  She still has a nasty cough today but she hasn't had a fever for a couple days now!  YAY!!   

I was keeping my fingers crossed that Anna would stay clear of the viral infection.  Grace was really good about staying out of her face and not touching her toys.  BUT this morning it happened........DUN, DUN, DUN!!!  Yep, she woke up with the same nasty cough!  NOOOOOOOOOO!!!  I knew something was up when she got up 3 times last night!  Here's to hoping it doesn't take ahold of Anna like it did Grace!!  Feel better little babies!!
