All Better

Lilybelle is feeling much better after her illness. She gave us new parents quite a scare two weeks ago. It started with a simple cold. She had had a cold before so we knew the drill and didn't worry about it. When she woke us up with a cough Sunday night we made sure she wasn't sleeping horizontal and ran the humidifier. But by Wednesday she was running a fever and was super fussy which is unusual for our baby. By Wednesday night Tim and I were very worried about our baby because in addition to the cough, fever, and fussiness, she didn't want to eat. I took her in to the pediatrician the next day and it turns out that in addition to her cold she also had an ear infection. Poor baby! We had to give her ten days of antibiotics  (which we finished today woo hoo!) for the ear infection. Although I appreciate how much better our baby feels, I did not enjoy trying to get her to take the medicine. I can only hope that when she goes to the doctor next she doesn't still have an ear infection.

On a happier note, she's also big enough for her big flower headband. I always said that if I had a girl she would have a big flower  headband. And today she wore it. Super cute! The photo is not that great, but you get the idea of the size of her flower headband.
