Feeling a Bit Better

Olivia is feeling a bit better.  Today she ate and drank more which was great.  She also seemed like herself more and was playing and laughing.  She even helped me bake a pie! the runny nose is still running which is making her face all dry.  I hope we have a super day for the super bowl tomorrow!

Chilling in her car!

Helping with the pie.. stir it up!

I love you more than...carrots

Last night was ok.  I actually got a bit of sleep in my bed and not Olivia's floor.  She woke up about 4:15 coughing.  So she got 2 puffs of inhaler which didn't seem to work since her nose was running again.  So I opened up her door and let her breathe some cold air in which I have heard helps with the cough.  Trust me it was cold but we were wrapped in a blanket.  I finally gave her 1/4 teaspoon of Benadryl which seemed to do the trick and she fell back asleep after a little bit of fuss.  Brendon said she did ok today.  I got home and she woke up shortly but for me her nose was running like a faucet again and coughing.  We both got a little bit of food in her...Brendon got some soup and cheese in her.  I got some of her smile snacks, puffs, these veggie french fry snack things, and carrots.  She ate a WHOLE bowl of cooked carrots.  She didn't want the peas or the toast I made....just carrots.  Before bed I did get her to eat a graham cracker and she drank some water.  I also gave her a syringe of Gatorade which the nurse told me to do since she hasn't been drinking and eating a lot.  I gave her the whole medicine routine and she is out like a light snoring away up there.  I just want her to feel better soon! I miss her happy self even though there were some snippits of it tonight.  We played ball and she actually caught the ball and laughed.  Her poor little face looks like she has a Captain Hook red mustache on it from wiping her nose...both her and us wiping it.  Poor baby!

Pretty Miserable

I have to say that Olivia is pretty miserable.  Brendon took her to the doctor yesterday morning since she had a fever on and off Tuesday night and Wednesday.  Poor thing.  Her nose is constantly running along with her eyes.  She looks like she is crying...but she really isn't. Since she was still running a fever yesterday the doctor said no daycare today.  So Malissa and I swapped today, she is working all day today and I will work all day tomorrow so I could stay home today with Olivia.  I have been sleeping on her bedroom floor the past few nights since she will wake up coughing or ask for a tissue so we are both pretty tired.  Then last night while trying to get her to eat dinner she threw up...mostly milk but I think a combo or milk and mucous made it happen.  She didn't throw up the rest of the night.  But today no fever but still tons of boogers coming out in a steady stream.  She is not happy...very clingy and I finally got her to at least eat some toast around lunch time.  I hope she starts feeling better soon!

I did manage one smile yesterday....

Sick =(

Olivia has some form of a cold.  Tonight she didn't even want to eat much dinner or drink her milk.  She finally had some Cheerios and milk about 6 p.m.  She had a little bit of snack before bed...maybe 5-6 bites and about 3 sips of milk.  She is very stuffed up and is coughing.  She had a fever off and on last night and today.  But as of bed time tonight no fever.  I am going to go up and lay in her room...I admit I am a bit nervous when she is sick!

Level 5 Gymboree

Today Olivia and I went to her first level 5 Gymboree class.  I admit I am a bit of a nervous nelly when we start a new level.  It is a bit overwhelming to me and Olivia too because each level has something different.  At first I could tell she was a little out of her comfort zone because we had to do some things that she is not used to.  They first started with grabbing onto this rainbow circle and the teacher asked her what color it was.  She knows her colors but I think she was surprised when someone asked her! Then we did some activities with the rainbow circle and she did ok.  I know in time she will get used to it and do it.  I wish I had brought my camera today because they pretended they were firemen today! Olivia even got to wear a fireman hat...ok for like 5 minutes she was ok with it until someone else took theirs off.  We looked at firemen pictures and did all sorts of fireman activities and songs.  She did ok for her first day.  I am sure once she gets used to it she will be fine.  She was so enamored by the other kids jumping....she wants to jump sooo bad.  She is getting closer to jumping...we will keep practicing!

Olivia also ended up with some sniffles today.  I hope she feels better...I hope it is just from her eye teeth (canines) coming in and not something worse.

Sunday Funnies and Singing

We had a few funnies today. 

First this morning she was whining about watching Super Why...which was not on this morning at its usual time of 8 a.m.  So then she asked for it over and over and we told her it was not on until 10 a.m.  We watched an episode of Duck Dynasty to pass the time until then.  When the final commercial break came on she looked up and said, "Super Why on three minutes!" Both of us busted out laughing.  I know that she has no concept of time but that was funny that she knew when Duck Dynasty was over Super Why would be on.

The next funny was I told her it was time to get dressed.  She told me that she wanted to wear her reindeer shirt.  So she did....her purple reindeer shirt it was today. 

After dinner we were playing with the Little People and she told me she was having fun!

We are so blessed to have such a funny little girl!

Here is Olivia and I singing...
