Baby's First Christmas


This little sweetheart was so very good through all the sickness she has dealt with this week. It started with the RSV diagnosis on Tuesday. She really acted practically normal except for some VERY long sleeping spells. Tuesday she slept all night and then in the am on Wednesday I fed her at 6 and she went back to sleep until NOON! Then on Thursday she slept till 10:30 and we had to wake her up at that time. Then Thursday evening she started running a temp and acting fussy. She just wanted to be held and rocked.
Now a smart mother would have taken her to Urgent Care on Friday. But I thought we'd wait it out. Well after NO sleep on Friday night I knew we had to go on Saturday. So what did we wake up to on Saturday? An ice storm. GREAT! So Jordan and I loaded up the two little ones, sent the big girls to my mom and off we headed to Waterloo to Urgent Care. Tess was diagnosed with an ear infection and a sinus infection. POOR BABY.
By Sunday evening she seemed to be back to herself again.
Besides the sickness Tess really got into opening packages, mostly so she could eat the paper...she may have ingested some while we weren't looking.

What a sweet girl!
