Weekend of sickness

Well, there's no cute pics to go with this story, needless to say!  

Last weekend, I had to go to the doctor because I had strep throat.  I was SO careful all week long, hoping that this time Hannah wouldn't get it.  But, sure enough, Friday night she didn't sleep without being held and rocked, and she was running a fever that wouldn't break with Tylenol.  So, Saturday we headed to the walk-in clinic.  Miraculously, we only spent about 45 minutes there, got her prescription and got out.  She has strep throat, and her ears are looking red, so we're on a 10-day round of antibiotics, hoping to knock both things out.   

So, Saturday and Sunday were low-key days around here.  We had big plans that included a babysitter and going out on a date, plus a packed Sunday, but instead we just stayed around the house.  Yesterday we watched chick flicks all day, had a PJ party, tried to have fun with it!  I think she's feeling a little better today, and no fever so far!   Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

She's still been learning all sorts of new things lately, even with not feeling good!  She can now take about 7-8 steps on her own, when she feels like it. Most of the time she still just drops to her knees, though!  She's trying SO hard to be able to put on her socks and shoes all by herself.  And when she first wakes up in the morning, she's immediately calling for her daddy.  I love it! Now HE gets to be the first one up out of the bed! :)
