Copays are our friend

Peyton has been very sick this weekend. Friday she started to get a temperature and runny nose. SHe sounded like she might lose her voice. When I put her to bed I gave her Motrin and within 1 1/2 hours she was spiked at 105.1. I could not even give her tylenol yet to piggyback. We were able to get it down with the bath to 104. She has had a horrible cough and runny nose. Took her to urgent care on Saturday because temperature was between 105 and 107. Again immediately gave a her bath to bring it down and went to the doctor. He gave her a presription and said if she gets worse to take her to the hospital. Then we get home and she starts puking everywhere for about 3 hours. She then was able to finally go to sleep and again woke up with a high fever. We just kept a close eye on her yesterday and now this morning are getting ready to take her back to be seen first thing. I feel horrible that I cannot do anything to help her but comfort her. The doctor told us to keep her seperated from her sister because it is dangerous for the baby to get this. It has been very hard for her to not be with the baby and when I am feeding the baby she has to stay with Dad on the other side of the room. That just kills her. Children always want their moms when they are really sick. Hope todays doctor visit has a good outcome with higher hopes.

Quiet Nights

Skyler has been sleeping throught he night for the last three nights. I have been putting her in bed around 9-9:30 and sleeping until 5-3:30 in the morning. It is nice getting into a routine and getting decent sleep (at least 5 hours straight).
She is growing so fast. She had her 2 month appointment yesterday and
she is 10lbs 10 oz and 22 3/4 long. I feel like I blinked once and she is already 2 months. She is talking and smiling so much now. She responds to Peyton when she is playing with her. That makes Peyton happy and makes me smile. Evenings have been better too. She gets fussy some nights but for the most part she is getting to be a happier baby.

Christmas is in the air

Last night we put up our outside christmas lights. We bought the new LED icicle lights this year. Recently Tyler had bought a house of lights box to use with our lights this year. We plugged it in last night to all the stuff in the yard and the house lights and it looks so cool. With the music playing and all the lights flashing it looks really neat. We let Peyton stay up last night because we started putting the lights up around 8pm so she was up until around 10:30. When Daddy turned on all the lights she was jumping up and down. That is why we have children, to see the excitement and smiles on their face bring alot of joy to my life. Skyler is starting to smile alot and talk. She is waking up in the morning and just laying there talking until I go and get her. That is a major step in our household right now. We have finally gone from screaming to happy. She slept 8 1/2 hours last night. When she woke up this morning she was ready for the day, even though it was 5:30 am, I just got up and had some quiet time with Skyler and my coffee. That makes a mommy very happy and alot less stressed.

What a great weekend

We did alot this weekend. Saturday the christmas parade was rained out and our family pictures were rescheduled also due to the rain. Peyton and I made a cookie snowman and a cotton ball igloo. The snowman was for our pleasure to eat ( and it was YUMMY!) The igloo is for her preschool. Every week they have a letter of the alphabet on Mondays and they have to bring something from home that starts with that letter. So I decided since I is a hard letter we would make an igloo out of cotton balls. It came out so cute. She helped me for the first 5 minutes then she was bored and did her own projects.

We went to the beach Sunday morning to have our family pictures done. It was very cold out. I had these cute dresses someone had made for the girls, of course they were sleeveless so they had to where sweaters and two pairs of tights. It was 45 degrees and breezy. Peyton did so good getting pictures especially since her chin was shivering and her lips were blue. We did the best with what we had and hopefully they come out good.

Daddy also finished the tile in the babies room. All we have to do now is grout and do baseboards. Hopefully she will be in her room by this weekend. I am so excited.

Happy Baby

Skyler has been much happier lately, so instead of screaming 24/7 she has been talking and smiling. It is hard to catch on video but I attempted the other night. I will get her to say Momma before Daddy. She is learning by osmosis. Peyton of course said Dada first, but not this one. I am working her.
