Sick Babies and Airplanes

Hello! I know, long time, no post...what else is new? Well, Maddie has survived her first real illness...and so did I, barely. I know I should feel blessed...almost 9 months with nothing but one stuffy nose. On Tuesday, she woke up with a high fever (got to 102.4!!!!) so I almost had a stroke. You might of heard the news about a little something called "SWINE FLU" going around in North Mexico...er, I mean Texas. Well, (hallelujah) she is fully recovered from Roseola, which "all babies get," according to her pediatrician.

We had a fun time at the Urgent Care Center, though. Oh wait, no we didn't.



On a happier note, it's vacation time! Maddie and I made it Tennessee yesterday and are staying with my parents until Andy gets in next weekend. A friend of mine mentioned that I was taking a really long vacation, but I would like to remind everyone that traveling with an infant is more work than play! I can't complain though, Maddie did great on the plane and got rave reviews from all the passengers and flight attendants (the same ones that were giving me the "Oh no, there's a baby on this flight! I hope it keeps it's mouth shut" look as we boarded). She took a nice long nap, too!


Right now, we are just relaxing at GiGi and Peepaw's, and enjoying getting to be with Baby Rylan! I love him so much, I can't wait for Andy to get here and meet him!


I will try to keep posting during our trip, because there is a lot of fun stuff going on...no promises, though ;) And I would also like to say a big "Thanks" to my dad, who is the only one in my immediate family to ever read my blog. YAY DAD! I LOVE YOU!
