Abigail was not feeling well yesterday and while it might have been somewhat cruel of me to take all these pictures they are so angelic. She was happy and energetic in the morning until bath time. Right in the middle of her bath she started to get sad and cried big crocodile tears the whole time I was getting her dressed and kept saying she was tired. We talked to my mom and my sister on the phone and then she fell asleep right on my tummy. She was a little warm but I wasn't too worried. She slept for about 2 1/2 hours and woke up seemingly happy but pretty warm. I figured she was just warm from sleeping and decided to try giving her lunch. She said she wanted string cheese and grapes but as soon as I put them on her tray she started crying and asking me to hold her. So I took her out and snuggled with her and that is when she started coughing. Fortunately she had not eaten anything since breakfast and it was 2:30 pm by then so she only threw up a tiny bit. We cleaned up and I got a towel and laid it across me and we just snuggled on the couch and she fell asleep again for a few minutes. Bud surprised us by coming home early and we gave her some medicine (she was still pretty hot by then) and she laid down with Bud and slept while I went to the store. After waking up her appetite returned and she ate her lunch and a Popsicle. She seemed like her old self and ate like a champ at dinner. But after I laid her down for Bed and checked on her a bit later I could tell she was hot again. About 9:00 pm we decided to wake her up and give her some more medicine. She took it really well and went right back to sleep. But about every two hours I would hear her start fussing. She was a little warm but not enough for more medicine so I just gave her back her binki and she'd go back to sleep. But about 4:00 am she was pretty hot again so we gave her some more medicine and she slept with us until after 7:00 am. Bud didn't have to work today which was nice since I was up a lot with her so he let me sleep in. So far she seems to be feeling pretty good today. Sure hate to see her so sad and sick. No fun!

The sickies are never fun. When your kids are sick, life shuts down. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for when mommy gets sick.
So cute. It's like a little storybook with your narrative.
