Snotty Daughty

Those of you following me on facebook already know that Aurora has been sick this weekend. She hasn't quite been herself ever since we returned from AZ. At first, she refused to nurse before bed, and I figured she was just off schedule. Then Thursday she awoke with an extremely runny nose, and both Thursday and Friday she didn't finish her afternoon bottle at daycare. Friday Carole told me she didn't think Aurora was feeling very well, and that was how our weekend began...

Yesterday Aurora woke up with the runniest nose EVER - seriously gross and dried up all over her nostrils so she could hardly breath - along with goopy eyes, a red blotchy face, and extreme sadness. Turns out she had a 101.7 fever too. I started her on fairly regular doses of Tylenol, which really improved both her temp and mood.

She still tried her hardest to be happy and partake in her regular activities of crawling and standing up. Here are a couple pics I took yesterday, trying capture how much of a mess she was - but as usual, she saw the camera and just had to smile!

I have a busy week ahead, so I'm really hoping she isn't so sick that they make her stay home from daycare. I'm trying to secure all of our spring interns before the holiday break, and Chuck & I are preparing for company this coming weekend. Curt & Brooke will be visiting from LA!!! Oh, and I've been spending ALL of my free time reading the Twilight series. It's so addicting. Hey, who needs sleep anyway? It's overrated...
