Sick baby

Sunday morning I go in to get Gracee out of her crib and she is burning up! I check her temperature and it is 101.6! First thing I thought of was oh no she has the flu!! I gave her some Motrin and about 20 minutes later she is fine and playing like nothing is wrong. I took her to the doctor Monday and find out she has an ear infection! I thought nursing was supposed to help prevent these! I am just glad it is not the flu! Tuesday she was back to her happy self and even started eating again. Now today she is whiny and will not eat a thing and acts like she does not feel good. I check her temp. and it is 99.1. I hope the antibiotic is working and its not getting worse. I hate it when any of my babies are sick!

The hubby went out of town with his brother. They will not be back until Sunday. This is our first time being away from him this long. My mother in law is staying with us at night. I don't like being alone at night. I am so looking forward to Sunday!!

Decision has been made!

I decided to keep the little girl 3 days a week! I met with her and her parents over the weekend and they all seemed to be honest and extremely nice people. The little girl her name is Abby was the complete opposite of Dalton. She was quiet and laid back while Dalton is loud and well very loud. I think she will be no problem as I am home all day anyway taking care of kids. This way I will make a little extra money. Dalton liked her he kept bringing toys to her. Gracee was asleep when they were here but woke up as they were leaving. Gracee kinda just stared at them. I have a really good feeling about it!

We had our Christmas pictures done yesterday at the Botanical Gardens. They are gonna be beautiful! I cannot wait to see them! One picture she took of us walking down a brick walkway with the pond on one side. Me and Travis were holding Dalton's hand and Travis was holding Gracee. I know this one will be one of my favorites! It was such a beautiful day to do pictures!

Gracee can sleep

Gracee just set a record for herself! On Tuesday night she went to sleep at 9:00 and did not wake up at all until 9:30 the next morning! She usually wakes up at 2 and maybe one more time and I nurse her back to sleep. I can't even believe that she slept that good! I woke up with very big and hurting boobies but she took care of that when she woke up. I thought it might be a fluke but she slept from 9 to 7 in the morning last night! Dalton has also slept all night the past two nights! I am hoping they keep this up because I have been getting some great sleep!

No more crib!

Dalton has finally figured out how to climb out of his crib!! He did it for the first time last week, and I thought maybe he will not do it again but I was wrong. I have been dreading this! He will not lay down now to take a nap at all. Today I lay him down at usual nap time and probably ten minutes later I hear footsteps coming to my room and I hear him say "hey mama." I don't know how to get him to take a nap now. He screams if I try to go and lay him down. This past week by 5:00 he is so exhausted and so cranky! We are gonna go and buy him a big bed this weekend. Maybe that will excite him enough to take a nap again! I am hopeful wishing I am sure! :)
