So. Much. Sickness.

The last 2 weeks have been quite the show around the Brown house.  Shae started getting up A LOT during the night with runny nose, cough, etc..I thought maybe it was just because of the 4th tooth that was popping through, but after her wheezing started I took her in right away.  I had to go in 3 times in 3 days with both kids!  Shae's oxygen levels were so low (86) and we were almost admitted to the ER but after they did a suction through her nose and throat to clear the mucous, her levels went up to 94. Turns out she had RSV.  Poor girl.  Quinn also had to partake in the sickness.  Her voice started to get a little raspy, spiked a very high temperature...so in to the doc we went again.  He didn't give her any medication and said it was just a virus. The next couple days it got worse so I took her into Urgent care where they found pneumonia in her upper high lung and an ear infection in her left ear.  The challenges of motherhood (sleeplessly) was in full force :)  Shae was getting up about 7-8 times a night, Quinn 2-3...I was zombie!

ANYWAYS.  WE ARE DONE WITH IT!  Hope those nasty bugs don't return any time soon - or ever? 

I have to admit, I loved all the cuddles during it all :)

Shae is 7 Months

Our baby Shae is 7 months old and growing like a weed.  She is in size 3 diapers, 9 and 12 month clothes depending on and based on the last couple of doctor appointments, close to 18 pounds.  She is starting to love her solids and eating a wide variety of foods.  Carrots, Broccoli, apples, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and more!  She is now crawling everywhere and getting faster every day.  This past month was a rough one for Shae being sick and getting her 3rd and 4th tooth so many cuddles were had, which means now we're back to the rough sleeping patterns!  This last month she has gotten up about 4-6 times a night with a couple of great nights of just getting up twice.  She's not a great napper.  Still taking 2 morning naps and 2 afternoon.  We are working on it :)  She loves to be outside and is always curious what her big sis is up to.  Her favorite "toys" are the remotes and cell phones.  She likes to take her naps in the car and is warming up to strangers a little more.

Love this little 7 month old peanut.
