Poor Baby...

Miss Bella has made a habit of coming to mommy & daddy's bed in the wee hours of the morning, EVERY morning for the last few months. She says nothing wakes her up, but she just wants to come to our bed. She immediately falls back to sleep without a problem.

Well, this morning when she came to bed, she was somewhat fussing/whining/crying/a little bit of drama! I thought nothing of it b/c she is like that sometimes, but around 4 this morning when she was snuggled up to me, I noticed she felt awfully hot!! She was not sleeping real well, but wouldn't let me take her temp (by the way, tonight - I'm investing in one of the thermometers that you just rub across the forehead!). When it was time for her to wake up to get ready for playskool, she was fighting waking up & at the same time her little face was burning up! Again, tried to take her temp under her arm, but with her squirming & fussing - that wasn't happening. So, I finally got her dresses while she was still half asleep in bed and finally got her to get up by asking if she wanted to go to work with mama. That worked wonders! I got her ready (she wanted nothing to do w/ daddy), gave her some tylenol and we went on our way. I called the doc at 8 to get an appt and we lucked out & got in at 9:30 (shocking, yes!) We were suprised Dr. Payne had an opening. Bella calls her the "little girl"...it's hilarious! She used to see Dr. Green, who is a man BUT Miss Priss does not care for him. He's a pretty big guy, but an awesome doctor, but Bella doesn't think so. If he were to walk in the room - she would literally start screaming & climbing up on whoever was there with her. It's not a good site, so we switched her to Dr. Payne & she absolutely loves her! Well, when we get to the doc, they're not real busy & they call us back literally before we get sat down good. Miss Bella is petite! She weighs in at 29.5 lbs and is not on the tall side ;) She takes after her mama! I try to be 5'1 with heels on! My baby has *Double* ear infections and was running a 100 degree temp after medicine. Poor thing can't feel good - but she told me the entire way to the doctor that she didn't feel bad & nothing hurt, she's a trooper! After her appt, she was very excited - of course, she got 2 suckers, but the best part she was getting to go stay the day with Nana. Nana is actually my aunt, who's grandkids call her Nana - so Bella just follows right along with them & that's what she calls her too! It's pretty cute. She was extra excited b/c her cousin Jordan would be coming to play later on - she's all about playing! Even with her being sick, she was the sweetest thing. Hopefully with her antibiotics & ear drops, she'll be feeling better soon! We have to go back for a check-up in 3 weeks to make sure everything's healed up. We'll be saying a prayer!

Sorry for no pictures, didn't have time for that this morning! Have a good day!
