Well, we made it five months before the sickness came for the baby. Ella has been fighting a cold (sniffles, cough, snot) since before Christmas, and it appeared to be winding down these last few weeks, but all of a sudden it came back with a vengeance! She woke up once on Wednesday night and three times Thursday, so I knew something was wrong with the little girl. After the restless night Thursday, I got us a doctor's appointment Friday morning.... and yup! Double ear infection. Poor little baby. Her fever wasn't too high, so they just recommended Tylenol and a round of antibiotics and lots of rest.
The upside to the baby not feeling so well is that Mommy gets lots of snuggles!! Tree frog snuggles!! I don't know how many times my arms have fallen asleep so far because I refuse to give up the snuggles. (She is SO much bigger now than when she last gave me tree frog snuggles!)
And everyone knows that books are medicinal, even when you fall asleep with them
Ella stayed a few days with Grandma instead of going to daycare to help her recuperate. You can really tell that Ella was suffering with disease and fatigue while she was there. Spending all day with Grandma and Grandpa is really tough work....
