Sick and Tired

Well, we almost made it to the girls' first birthday without being sick. Almost! This past week MM started waking up in the middle of the night and we assumed it was teething. Then she started losing her appetite and was noticably clingy which is SO not her personality. Finally on Thursday she started running a low grade fever and pulling at her ear. Our pediatrician was out on Friday, so I took MM to Dr. Weiland and she said that MM's left ear has an infection. Taylor and I, Lanie, and Nana have all recently passed around a sinus infection that gave us all the same symptoms - a nasty cough, low fever, and nasty sinus. So, I figure it's just finally made its way to the girls. I thought Kennedy had escaped unscathed, but yesterday she started running a fever, too. Needless to say, I have no cute pictures to post of the weekend. We've been pretty much camped out in the house all weekend in our PJs doing lots of rocking, kissing, and regular partaking of medicine. Taylor did tackle painting the kitchen for me, though, and I did get to escape to Mistletoe for a little on Saturday. Have I mentioned lately what an awesome husband he is? I love, love, love the kitchen color and can't wait to paint some more (or assist Taylor, rather!). It was nice to get out and peruse the boutiques at Mistletoe even though I didn't walk away with much. Pretty low key weekend. Hopefully the girls will be back on top in time for pictures with Jeanelle this week for Christmas cards!

Update: Took the girls back to the doctor this morning. MM has the croup and got a decadron shot. Kennedy has an upper respiratory infection and got an antibiotic. Poor little babies! Hopefully we're on the road to recovery now.
