More teeth coming out!

What else can I say?! Her teeth are coming out and she's cranky! LOL

I can feed myself!!

Bella fed herself with a spoon for the first time on Wednesday. She was so cute trying to put the spoon in her mouth. Only problem was sometimes she would turn it and the spoon wouldn't quite fit in her mouth! I'll put some pictures later.

And yes, I'm still sick. Billy and Bella are doing better, thank God! But I'm worst. I think I have a sinus infection now :(

Update: I went to the doctor again today and he said I have bronchitis and asthma and a sinus infection. Great. NOT!! He gave me like 3 or 4 prescriptions for different meds. *sigh* When will it all end?!! I changed some sheets yesterday and did a bunch of laundry in an effort to clean the house and get rid of any possible bacteria still lingering around. The winds were wild out of control for like 5 days so that didnt help with allergy stuff. But it stopped today and I've opened all the windows and hoping the house will air out.

Still sick...

Here I am. Laying on the couch sick as a dog. Well, actually our dog is the only one not sick in our house. Go figure! We started giving Bella antibiotics last night and I got my prescription today for antibiotics too. Billy goes in for a doctor's appointment this afternoon so we'll see how he's doing. Bella still had a fever of 101.1*F last night so that's why we started giving her the antibiotics. Last night was rough too. She felt asleep around 6:30 pm but then woke up every 20-30 minutes crying until about 11 pm.

I haven't been able to scrapbook much and I feel sad. I was doing pretty good on Bella's baby album.

Now we are ALL sick... :(

Thanks for the prayers, good thoughts, and concerns about Bella. She's still sick. Last night was terrible too. She woke up at 4 and wouldnt go back to sleep for about 45 min, just crying and crying. We gave her Motrin and even fed her 6 oz. The urine sample was useless cause it didnt go inside the little bag it was supposed to... but I dont think that was critical since the white blood count was normal. We are just waiting to hear from her pediatrician today.

The worst part is now Billy and I are REALLY sick too. I had a fever last night and what I can only describe as a hot flash. Am I too young for those?? In any case, I have no idea what was wrong but I was super hot and couldnt fall sleep for 2 hrs. Now we have pounding headches, body aches, terrible soar throats... what's wrong with us?!!! We are falling apart... :(

One a happy note: Bella said Mocha for the first time. And both Billy and I heard her, so it's not that I'm allucinating with my illness :P She also discovered toilet paper and how fun it is to unrolled it! :)

Another trip to the ER

Please keep praying for Bella. Last night her fever went up to 104.1*F. We gave her a bath at almost 11 pm! We've also been giving her Tylenol and Motrin. But since it's been 5 days, we called her pediatrician in the afternoon and she saw us in her office. She doesn't have an ear infection or any other bacterial infection that the doctor could see. So, she sent us to the ER for lab work. We did that and thank God the nurse that drew her blood was really good and got it in the first try. We are now waiting for her to pee so we can bring a urine sample back to the lab. Sorry if it's TMI. Hopefully we'll hear from the doctor soon to see what we can do for our little one.

ETA: Well, the doctor just called and said the white blood count was normal. The hemoglobin and iron are a little low but nothing major. She's still waiting on a couple of other tests but wont get them until tomorrow. So, we'll see how she does tonight.

Top teeth are out!!!

Well, at least one of them. Her top right tooth came out 2 days ago. The other one is *wanting* to come out but still on limbo. No pictures yet, sorry :(

The sad news is that Bella's had a high fever for the last 4 days. And after our last experience with fevers (febrile seizure and all), we've been REALLY keeping a close eye to her temperatures. Last night she woke up at 1:30 am and her temp was 103.5*F. The night before it reached 104*F. We've been giving her Motrin and Tylenol, keeping her hydrated with pedialyte, and giving her baths once or twice a day. Please keep her in your prayers that the fever will go down and stay down!

Bottom Teeth are out!!

Isnt she adorable?!! :) Her teeth have been out for a couple of weeks but we hadn't been able to take a picture. Now one of her top teeth is coming out but that one is going to be even harder to catch in a picture... we'll see!

Almost 1!

Bella's 11 months and soon she'll turn 1! It's been quite an amazing year.

We've been planning her birthday party, actually TWO birthday parties! One here in Merced and another one in Louisiana at B's mom's house. A friend from 2Peas is working on the invitations and I can't wait to see them.
