Feeling Better

Reese and I are back to being healthy. We have conquered our illness and are on the right track. We both headed back to work/daycare on Wednesday and had a short three day week. Daycare had a Halloween parade on Thursday so Reese was able to wear her costume and march around the daycare as teachers/admin. passed out treats. I am excited to take her out tomorrow night for her first "real" Halloween experience. Last year (she was 3 mo.) she dressed up as a cow and was sleeping before we had our first trick-or-treater. I know she will LOVE walking to houses this year, more so wanting to say HI to everyone than actually getting some candy! :)

I have no clever title for this blog, mainly because I am living in a house full of germs and sleep deprivation. Hence, my brain cannot function past its normal ability to be clever. Our weekend started out great, with Reese and I going to a local pumpkin patch with our school. We had a fantastic time taking a hayride, picking out a pumpkin, and eating apple cider donuts. Things went down hill from there. I started to get a very sore throat, and new right away it wasn't a "normal" sore throat. So, I put Reese down for a nap, Kyle stayed home, and I headed to Urgent Care. After TWO AND A HALF hours of waiting (UGH!?!?) I finally saw a doctor who diagnosed strep throat. I am pretty sure I could have prescribed medication to myself based on the condition and looks on my tonsils :( I got some antibiotics, lots of sleep Saturday, Sunday, and started feeling better yesterday finally. Only to be awoken last night with a child with a fever and in discomfort. After being up 4 hours with her in the middle of the night, I knew I would have to miss work for the 2nd day in a row and get her in to the doc. The result was a sinus infection, and the babe is on antibiotics too and sleeping soundly as I write. Here's to hoping we can get through the night pain and fever free and be ready for our day back to reality tomorrow.

A little of everything

Just a quick re-cap blog:
Last weekend our trip to MN to see my sisters family went great. 4 hours alone with her in the car went very well (thanks also in part to a handy DVD player.) Reese had so much fun playing with her cousins and testing out all their cool toys.

This week Reese and I got our first colds of the season. Nothing too major, just the sniffles, congestion, and cough. 'Tis the season!

Yesterday Kyle and I went downtown with some friends for the Badger football game. We did not go to the game, but enjoyed the atmosphere down there on game day (crazy Badger fans wearing all sorts of Red and White). Entertaining at its finest I must say :)

Reese's teeth all popped through and her two in the back are her molars (I thought they were on the sides). She is not in as much pain now that they are fully though the skin, thank goodness!!

Teeth times SIX?!

Yep, that's right. 6 teeth coming in at one time. They all just broke through the skin, thank goodness. We have had a whiny, crabby, teething toddler on our hands, and I hope she now has some relief. She has been chewing on everything lately, a sure sign of teeth. I opened her mouth today and saw 4 coming in on the bottom sides and two coming in on her top sides. I think I might be grateful 6 are coming at once to get the process done faster :)
