You take the good, you take the bad...

Where to begin? Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first.

Sicknesses. We've all been through it lately. First is was Ross, then Reid (who still has a residual cough), then Eva, and now me. However, Eva got it the worst. She spiked a 104.6 degree fever and ended up having to go the the ER yesterday for dehydration. She has a double bad ear infection and is on her 3rd round of antibiotics now. She is so miserable, but at least she's now drinking some after the IV fluids at the ER yesterday. I know it's a bit weird, but I actually took some pictures in the ER room while we were waiting and while she was receiving her fluids through the IV drip. One for the scrap book?

Eva with Aunt TeTe (who happens to be a nurse at the hospital and graciously volunteered to come with us on her day off when I called her crying!)


On to the good stuff- bathtime. When everyone's healthy, the LOVE their bath time. Reid is starting a bad, yet amusing, habit of slouching down and kicking his sister in the water. Once they are a bit more stable, gone with the inflatable tub and onto the regular ole big bathtub.


They no longer live in their own little bubble anymore either. Each is fully aware of the other and (gently?) tries to communicate in their own way.



After 4 visits to the pediatrician and 1 to the ER in the last week and a half, our goal is to make it to the 9 month well baby visit (August 22nd) with no more illnesses!

I'm so sorry to hear about the sickness. It really sucks to see them hurting. Glad to hear everyone is feeling a little better. They are just too cute together. And Eva looks so grown up with her little earrings.
