Getting over sickness

So this couple of days off and on sawyer, I, our even like maisy (though not really) have not been feeling the best. It started sunday with sawyer being much more attached to me then usual. Then monday I had to be holding her or be next to her for her not to be completely miserable. That night I was unable to get like any sleep, (not because of the girls) I had stayed up later then usual and then everytime I was almost asleep I'd get up coughing. That next day I was exhausted, brain malfunctioning, and though sawyer was feeling a little better I was not and I went to bed after the craziest night at work with a slight fever. Wednesday was the worst (though no fever til the evening) I was having stomach problems and had another hectic night at work... Boo... Well we were feeling much better today though maisy has developed a little cough and I was able to clean up my messy house some (i didn't do much when I was sick) so hopefully soon I'll get some pictures of my new place up for you all to see.

Dedication and first pay check

Sunday at my church was a family service sunday, which honestly I often have day dreams and glazed eyes through, but this time I decided to dedicate the girls in front of the church. Saying I will bring them up to know christ, at least to the best if my ability, and with God's equipping. So my family came down for it. It was really nice just being together and also to have them there to witness my intent.

Also in happenings, today I picked up my first check since going back to work... It's nice having my own income but also saddening knowing it's not enough. That I'll still have to find something to make more. Something will work out though, I'm sure.

Quick trip, diapers and some doctors visits

Saturday the girls, my sister and I  took a day trip to lincoln. It was a a nice day traveling. We took a detour through some rural roads so my sister could check on some kids that she does tracking for with her job. It was slightly out of the way, but it's not often that we divert from our usual routes so I really enjoyed it. Plus time with my sister was also very nice, and hearing sawyer laugh at her. Lol

When we did finally get to town we stopped by my mom's then we went around town. I was giving a little money to get more cloth diapers. I was very excited because with maisy I haven't really had to buy but a few diapers for her (i was given a bunch of disposables and cloth diapers) it may be weird to some people but I'm totally excited to start maisy on cloth diapers! I really don't mind washing them and dealing with dirty diapers. Plus I really hate buying diapers all the time and with cloth I kinda feel like I'm doing some good for my girls, budget, the planet... etc. I don't know that could be a dumb reason but it's like I accomplish something everytime I wash a load.

Anyways, after buying more diapers and spending some time at the mall one of my best friends joined us and we got to eat at chipotle! Oh yummy deliciousness. I filled my belly!
On the way home sawyer could not sleep because she was coughing so bad. It made me very sad and it was the start of her weird sickness stuff (i know great technical words) Sunday she was just tired from not sleeping but monday she started getting a slight fever and little red
hive type things started coming up on her torso, so I took her to the doctor. They told me she had an ear infection and the hives were a viral rash, I got an antibiotic and tried to be appeased. But tuesday the hive/rash got worse and she started itching in the evening while we were at work. Plus what really got me was her lips started swelling. I had an appointment for a check up in the morning but didn't know if I could  wait that long.

After talking to people and giving her a bath I decided to wait. It was a long night for me worrying but sawyer woke up feeling normal and though the marks were still there they were looking better. The doctor said that she was looking really good and that the hives would run their course and be fine shortly. Sawyer also though still not on the growth chart for weight is following her little curve well and has grown 3 inches and 3 pounds. I left feeling much better. Hopefully the proof of the hives goes away soon though.
