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.

I wish Sawyer would leave getting hives to GranJan!
We are glad you could get out a bit and spend some time with family.
Hope y'all are doing better by now.
