Our Poor Sick Baby

Quinn has been sick this whole last month since Christmas and now she is teething... We are 100% ready to have our normal little baby girl back. This last month we did lots of lounging, playing in her kitchen, at her table, and pretty much anywhere she wanted to play in the house, eating whatever she wanted (she becomes a picky eater when she is sick), and sleeping. Luckily we only had a few long nights and the rest of the days she took long naps, which I am sure was due to her sickness. 

The first cold/flu was associated with an earache, fever, achey body (I know because I caught the bug as well), congestion, runny nose, cough, etc. She was completely better for four days and somehow within those four days of finally getting out of the house she caught Croup... Scary, right? We went to the doctor and she was given a dose of steroids (I didn't like that one bit but I guess it is better than being sent to the ICU hooked up to oxygen). The good thing about Croup is that if you get those steroids it only lasts about 3-4 days and then right after that barking cough comes major congestion and a normal mucus cough. So now we are better but after a week of being free of the Croup she is still trying to get rid of some congestion and a little cough.

Let's just say the winter hasn't been good to us as far as sickness go.

Quinn loved helping me make smoothies.  It was one thing she would eat and I was sooo glad because we put tons of fruit in it!

Hanging out with dad eating cheese. She LOVES cheese and she will eat it when she is sick.

Playing at her table is pretty much an all day event since this one time.

Steve took her in her room and told her that they were going to go on a date and this was it! I was dying and took tons of pictures.  I LOVE these two together! 

Hopefully we can stay clear of any other sicknesses until next year (wishful thinking...)!!
