Sick Baby

My poor baby is sick. I feel like we have a whole pharmacy at our house just for Kimberly. Eye drops for her eye infection. Saline for her stuffy nose. (Okay I know it's not a prescription, but I bought it at the drug store.) And something for her cough. Those are sitting next to a medicine dropper, a bulb syringe, and a giant bag of cotton balls. I also have a large stack of burp rags close by for when she coughs so hard that she pukes on me. and herself. and the floor.

She's obviously miserable. She was a mama's girl before, but even more so now that she isn't feeling well. Kasey has been a huge help. I can only do so much while I'm holding a baby. Today he had to go back to work which means the dishes won't get done, the floor will not be vacuumed, and dinner will most likely not get made. I'm sure I'll be on a first name basis with the pizza delivery guy before the end of the week.

Having a sick baby SUCKS!!! I really hope she gets better soon...but more than likely just in time for another child to get sick and be needy! At least that's how it goes in our house!

I so sorry! Don't worry about the messy house though. I don't have any sick kids, and mine still is horrible today!
