Day 3

After an awful day yesterday, Maxwell already seems to be feeling better. I took him in to the doctor and he has a respitory infection that went to both ears. Which explains why he had been up all night. Poor little guy. I started him on an antibiotic and my pediatrician lended us a breathing machine to help with his wheezing...he sounded really bad. By last night he was starting to smile again. He was still up a lot last night, but it was every couple of hours instead of every couple of minutes. Ella has been great. It's amazing how God has given me that each time they've been sick. It seems like the healthy one just knows they need to share my attention for the day. Ella acted independent and silly all day long, and slept through the night two nights in a row! In this house we celebrate sleep so it was a miracle that all Max's crying didn't wake his sister up. They are both down for a nap right now so it's my turn to hop in the shower. But I wanted to post again, because it's been fun connecting with other women. Heck, sometimes it's fun talking to the mailman when I've been inside with a sick baby all day. Anyway, I've enjoyed reading other women's blogs when the babies are sleeping and I have a quiet house.



Today I pray for Maxwell's health and I thank God for Ella's patience.




I have to admit, this felt a little silly because
A. Who wears wedges when they are taking care of a sick baby
B. It's actually pretty cold outside
C. I don't usually take pictures of myself

But I was inspired by all the cuteness going on over at Emery's blog...go check it out!

WOW! You look amazing! Love it! Whenever I am at home with sick kids, I try to make an effort to still get dressed. Because it makes ME feel better and gives me more energy somehow. Go mama!

Don't feel silly! We're all doing the same thing together :) (plus, you look so cute!)
I agree with Emery... sometimes dressing up helps me better handle my stay-at-home days even though I don't have sick babies to care for.

I'm sorry about your sick little one. Not fun!

But you DO look so cute. Love that dress.

I always feel silly taking pictures of myself too, especially with my husband sitting in the room laughing at all my posing - but it's worth it because of that connection with everyone else :) Adorable dress!

You may be my daughter, and I may be partial, but they don't come much cuter than you!!! You and your Nicoles have traveled many miles together always looking hot!! Oh, and your babies, they rock!! So happy to hear Maxwell is feeling better!
