I Can See the Light

This winter has not been easy on us.  Since after Christmas we have all had the head cold from hell.  In between there Cameron and I have both had varicose vein procedures.  I have had 2 surgeries with in 3 weeks of each other.  Although I am happy to have it over and done with having my veins stripped was NOT fun.  Recovering while having sick kiddos really really NOT fun!

So last week after our 2nd trip to the Dr. in a month we found out that Olivia had RSV and a double ear infection.  Poor poor baby!
She was miserable.  She had lost her appetite for food but, she was still nursing quite a bit and not dehydrated we were able to keep her out of the hospital.  
Needless to say we had a hard miserable sleepless weekend.


 
 This photo may forever break my heart.

Dad was trying hard to distract her from her misery while watching snow fall.


 Luckily she is recovering.  I took this yesterday morning.

 
 Then by yesterday afternoon she was showing signs of being back to her old self.  Cute and standing.

 
 Most of the time I just follow the trail of mess to find her.  She loves to pull everything down and loves to clear things out.  So much fun....
 
 This is for my sister who was asking me how much hair she had.  She has more hair than any of my other babies at this age.

She hasn't made a full recovery but, she is definitely A LOT better.  All of the kids have been sick off and on.  Just tonight Cameron came home and said his throat is sore again.  Would it be mean of me to send him away for a few days????  The nurturing side of me is wearing down pretty fast.:)

You poor things. You are in need of break some healthy people in your house. So sad about your sweet, adorable baby. I'm glad she's getting better. It's the worst when your kids are sick and you can't do much of anything to help them.

I love the piggie! I have a feeling that March is going to be a much better month.
