Sick Update - Ooohhh a Tooth!

I think we're finally on the down hill battle with this cold we've been carrying with us for over a week now. It seems that we are all feeling somewhat better, for today.

Yesterday I was feeling very overwhelmed with it all though. It was like I had reached my breaking point - a sick baby, a toddler who constantly needed my attention, three hours of sleep, being sick myself and I felt like I didn't know what to do anymore. So, after Kurt got home I decided maybe we needed to take Amelia to the Dr. because she was throwing up flem and I was feeling so overwhelmed I couldn't think straight. I gave a quick call to my mom - who knocked me back into reality (in a loving way) and I did a baseline assessment (good ol' nursing skills) and decided to see what happened throughout the night. Well - she's so much better and was able to actually stay in our bed throughout the night (yes she was up every hour nursing, but that's okay).

Wanna know something else - ta da - a tooth appeared out of that little girls mouth. So on top of her feeling crappy from having a cold - she had a mean ol' tooth coming in. Phew! I'm glad we're done with that for awhile *crossing my fingers.*

So now that you all know we're still living here - we may have snotty noses, a slight cough and sound like we have sand paper in our throats, but we're getting over this. Woo hoo! Thanks to those of you who were keeping us in your prayers. =)

Yikes...at least things are starting to look better! I'm sure I'd be feeling majorly overwhelmed too if I had 2 sick kids and was sick myself as well! Hope tonight is even better than last night!!

I hate those kinds of days! It's miserable for EVERYONE (Especially for Momma--who gets to feel bad AND be worried!). Landon was throwing up phlegm a couple of weeks ago--He just didn't know what to do with all of that drainage :o( Poor little thing!)

You'll have to post some pics of the sweet little tooth!

Jenn,

Once you can see the tooth better you know I will be taking pictures. I love baby teeth pictures. I have one of Landen that is just great with his big fat cheeks! =)

Awe:( I do hope you all get better soon:). Will keep you in my prayers.

As for the tooth..I just hope her tooth fairy will be more generous than mine! My tooth fairy was a MISER! LOL!

Peace, fun & in my prayers,

Marie
