As quickly as the nice weather came, it went! This AM we welcomed slushy frost - brrr!

My poor little girl. Somewhere in all this crazy weather she has acquired an ear infection! Though ear infections are popular among children, they say if your child is breast fed for at least 6 months, their risk of developing one is a lot lower. Well, Tatum was definitely breast fed, but somehow the little chick pea got one. *sigh* With a fever pushing 104, I took her to the doctor's office (one half hour before they closed!). At least they were able to give me a perscription for amoxicillin.

Also, just for you moms out there, there IS a fever suppository that is sold at Walmart. It is called "FeverAll" and each little suppository is 80mg (My little Tatum is 18 pounds and 7 months old). My kid for whatever reason, cannot take oral liquid tylenol. She throws it up every time, so when we found the suppository, it was definitely a God send!  Of course to get the oral Amoxicillin down I have to lay Tatum on her back with her head between my knees and slowly push it down the inside of her cheek. Thank God she has been getting it all down!

I absolutely cannot tolorate having a sick baby! It breaks my heart. We've been lenient with her sleeping schedule - trying to put her down every few hours.

She is recovering well :) Praise the Lord!

They put a new tea store in the local mall here. Loose leaf tea. The husband and I absolutely love loose leaf tea. My husband and I just purchased some jasmine tea and it's pretty great. Tea in general is pretty great, and jasmine is no exception. It has a green tea or oolong base, and it has anti-carcinogenic properties, as well as relaxation properties. Jasmine tea also has a naturally sweet flavor (a little like drinking a honey suckle, if you've ever experienced that).

The husband and I took babers because we enjoy walking around without having to be outside in the cold. I also just happened to find a dress to wear to a friend's wedding this May. The fact of the matter is, this is a friend from school, and a lot of people I haven't seen for years will be there. I just want to look nice - you know how it is :) This dress is going to show off ample leg while still being tasteful. It's cream colored, and I found the perfect pair of Ivanka Trump Pumps to pair with it! I guess you could say that I'm "pumped." heehee.

More on that later. Stay healthy!
