What a Weekend!!!

Wow, what a weekend I've had! Friday morning I woke up to Zoey having a fever of 101.3. I was just a little concerned because she was on antibiotics so I called the Dr on my way into work to see what I needed to do. We set up an appointment for that afternoon! So I went on my marry way at work knowing that Zoey was in good hands with Daddy at home! When I got home at 2:30 to take her to the Dr her temp was a whopping 104.3!!!! I shoved Tylenol down her throat and threw her in the car and rushed to the Dr (I was glad I already had an appointment!). When the Dr finally got in to see us he checked her ears. "Wow, that's bad!" He said that she had a bad double ear infection. She had been in to see him 10 days earlier because her eyes were all swollen and he said she had a minor ear infection. We put her on antibiotics (the pink stuff). Well, I guess after 10 days the antibiotics didn't touch her ear infection and it just kept getting worse. Of course because she's such a good baby I had no idea! Even with the fever I would have never guessed she was sick because she didn't stop playing and being as happy as always! Anyways, so now we're on another round of antibiotics (the white stuff now)! Saturday she continued to run high fevers but by Sunday night they tapered back down to normal, thank goodness!!! Hopefully these antibiotics will do the trick! The only rough part with the bad ear infection (that started Thursday night) is that the drainage causes Zoey to cough at nights. This then wakes her up sometimes and I have to go in and rock her back to sleep. I can't really complain though because these are such precious moments to me. Zoey doesn't snuggle hardly at all (even at nights) so I totally take advantage of when she will snuggle with me even if it's 3am!

Well, since it's been awhile since I've blogged here are just a few things about Zoey growing that I think is so fun!

1. She has 2 of her molar teeth just starting to show through!
2. She knows where her Nose and Ears are (I'll try and get a video of this), we're now working on eyes!
3. She LOVES Noggin' especially Jack's Big Music Show, when she's hears it come on (I love Free Video on Demand) She stops whatever she's doing and comes running!
4. She is totally into her routines, especially at night. Bath, teeth, book, prayer, bed! She even knows what's coming and gets ready by that door or gets the book or will fold her arms before I'm even down on the floor! Also in the mornings she knows that I leave right after prayer so as soon as it's over she goes to the front door and starts waving bye bye even if I'm not over there just yet!
5. She likes to give 5! It's so cute!
6. Her hair is really starting to grow! I can still only put it in a little pony tail on the top of her head but it's getting longer in the back!
7. She LOVES grapes!!! This is probably her favorite food!
8. She likes to do Patty Cake.
9. She LOVES her babysitter! I'm glad about this one because I know she has fun over there.
10. Um,.... I'm sure there is tons more but that's all I can think of for now!

Hopefully I'll get some pictures of her to put up soon for ya'll.

Enjoy -

OHHH, that is SO cute! I'm sad I'm missing all of her growing up moments. I miss that little monster!
I hope she gets "for real" better this time, I would hate to have her start ANOTHER color of anti-biotics!! *terror*
Anyways, miss you tons, can't wait to see you again! Say hi to that favorite brother-in-law of mine!

That stinks about her ear infections! Syd's ear tubes are great but hopefully Zoey won't need them! I love the growing updates. How fun!

Poor girl- I HATE EAR ACHES! I used to get infections all the time when I was little. Usually once you start gettin them it's easier.

My mom would stuff me full of garlic. I smelled like a charm but I think it helped.
