Laying Low

Scott, Caroline and I have been laying pretty low lately.  This is the first weekend in almost 7 weeks that Scott has not had to work.  Now that his busy month for the quarter is over we were looking forward to the weekend to have him home the whole time and go out and do some stuff.  Low and behold, Caroline gets pretty darn sick.  Friday she just wasn't herself, and by Saturday morning she was running a temperature of 101, her left eye was all gunky and running, her nose was running uncontrollably, and she was tugging at her ears.  We went to the doctor and the poor baby had a bad cold and a double ear infection.  We started her on amoxicillin right away and by Sunday she was better.  Wow, was Saturday rough though.  She was in such pain from her ear infection, I've never seen her cry so hard.  I wanted to cry right along with her.  I was covered in slobber, snot and tears most of the day.  Glamorous sounding I know.  But that was about the worst of it.  We stayed in the cool house and relaxed and didn't emerge but once or twice, and that was to make a grocery store run.  It's amazing what you need when you have a sick baby at home.  Hopefully the sicknesses are over for the summer, we can stay well and start doing some playing from here on out!!  We don't have any big vacations planned until next Summer, but we will be headed up to North Texas quite frequently over the next month to spend some time with family and friends.  I hope everyone's summer is off to a great start!!

This was the look on her face most of the weekend.  Poor baby could only breathe through her mouth! So sad!
