Let's Make It 3 Bad Nights!

Last night I got into bed around midnight and was enjoying a little reading. As I convinced myself to read just one more chapter (I was quite tired but didn't want to put it down) we heard Hattie cry. Ugh. I sweet-talked Brian into getting up, so he held her for a minute, then tried to put her down and she didn't go for it. He brought her in and we fed her the rest of her milk since she didn't finish it earlier. Not too long after that she coughed and up came all her milk. I caught most of it in her shirt, but it still made a yucky mess in the bathroom. So she got a bath (and loved it--silly girl) and we put her back down. She slept until about 7. I gave her some more milk and she did the same thing. Hack hack, cough, throw up. This time I got some in her shirt but the rest was on the couch and some on the floor. So gross. I think it was just her congestion--she hasn't done that the rest of the day. She did still have a fever last night and this morning, so I made her an appointment and, of course, her fever went down before we went. I still took her in and the doctor said she had some fluid behind her ears but it wasn't an infection yet and that it could go either way. She wrote me a prescription and just said to wait to see how she does. She still isn't 100% but she is doing better thank goodness.

After the doctor we had a few minutes to kill before I took Libby to a little birthday party for a friend from preschool. On the way (we decided to stop at Wal-Mart) Ellie told me she had to go potty. So I told her to just wait and that we'd be to the store right away. I kept telling her that and she kept telling me she had to go. At a couple of red lights she said, "Go faster, faster." The next thing she said? "Mom, I need new panties." Ahhhhh!!!! We didn't make it in time. I had another pair of underwear but no shorts, so in true Wal-Mart fashion, she went shorts-less to the store. I made her sit in the little seat the whole time so hopefully no one could tell!

Then we dropped Libby off at the party. They were supposed to wear a princess dress, but we only have one (big shock for a house with 4 girls) and it's a little bit small for Libby now. Libby opted for a fancier church dress (which is her favorite right now). I was glad she didn't chicken out and not wear it. She had a fun time at the party and told us all about it when I picked her up.


Tonight I had volleyball and I felt more back in the groove. It was fun. We only had 4 players, and we won all but the last game.

Eliza lost her other front tooth today at lunch. She was drinking her drink and it fell out, so she had to spit it out in her hands. She is going to make the tooth fairy go broke!
