Happy One Year Birthday Little Bit!!!

This last week has been a little crazy.  On Monday, the 18th, Princess had a really high fever.  We went in to see Dr. Day and he gave her some medicine in the office to help her feel better.  She spent the next several days on ups and downs.  It was the first time my poor baby was sick and to make it worse, she was sick on her birthday.  We didn't do much on Wednesday to celebrate her birthday.  Mimi and Papa came over to eat breakfast and have a short business meeting, but Princess didn't want anyone but me.  I was able to get her go to Gordon so I could give her some tylenol, but then it was back to mom.  I felt so bad for her.  That night Gordon taught institute, yey!!!!  The sad thing was that we were not able to go support him.  Princess was in bed by the time he started teaching.

We celebrated her birthday with family on Sunday.  It was so nice to have almost everyone there.  I put pictures on Facebook.

Life Gets Hard At Times

Princess woke up yesterday with a fever over 100°.  I wanted more than anything that day to just be able to be a stay at home mom.  I wanted to hold her and take care of her and tell her she would feel better soon.  I couldn't do most of that.  Yesterday I was scheduled to be in class from 12:00PM -5:20PM.  My first class was a test and there was no way I could miss it.  My second one, I let my teacher know what was going on and that I would have to leave early, so I did.  I left UNT around 3:30PM and went to rescue my baby girl from being sick.

Her fever went past 102° with being in just a diaper all day and we called the nurse.  Every time she coughs, she cries.  Her breathing has become labored.  She is struggling to nurse and she is not eating much of anything else.

Gordon was great with getting up throughout the night with her so I didn't have to get up each time.  He would pick her up and comfort her.  He would tell her she would be ok and that he was there for her.  He would even say a prayer with her.  Then he would come back to bed and let me know she was alright and sleeping again.  What an amazing supportive husband.

We have a doctors appointment this morning...so, I need to go wake her up and walk out the door.
