Sick Baby

Well we had another milestone over the weekend.........Izzy had her first ear infection. Poor little thing was soooooo sick. She got a really high fever friday night and scared me half to death because she was trembling with the chills and then threw up in the middle of hte night. Thank goodness I had DH's mom stay night with me since DH was out of town. I was convinced it was the stomach flu but sure enough we took her to teh dr Sat morning and it turned out to be an ear infection. DH ended up coming home a day early from his hunting trip which I was so greatful for. Since Izzy didnt feel good she was not sleeping well and was very clingy and just wanted to be held. Which I have to say was kinda nice to have all the cuddle time. Sat night i put her in our bed for about half the night which was kinda nice.......she hasn't slept with us since she was about 2 months old. I can't tell you how full my heart felt when she finally fell asleep and I looked over at her sleeping, hten at DH sleeping and even the cat was in our bed sleeping.

I am exhausted though and am going to try really hard not to get sick myself. Seeing that I have not slept for more than 3-4 hours at a time in 3 days my body is a little worn down and whenever that happens I seem to always get sick. I might see if my mom can come this afternoon just so I can take a nap.

Izzy was doing a lot better yesterday but still was not 100%. I am hoping that today she will be feeling mostly all better. She only got up 3 times last night which was not nearly as bad as previous nights and actually she is still sleeping now........which I think is a first, she has NEVER slept past 8am.

I guess we are lucky that Izzy is almost 10 months old and this is the first time she has ever really been sick. I hope she stays heathly for a while because it is such a terrible feeling to see your baby sick and know you are doing everything you can to make her feel better but she still feels crappy.

On a happy note, I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. We do it at our house with my family and Chris's family. It will be exciting to have Izzy for her first Thanksgiving. She should even be able to eat some turkey and mashed potatoes! And I am sure her grandparents will make sure she has some pie and whipped cream :)
