It hasn't been the greatest of weeks here at the Shanks household. Only one word to describe it - cold.
We had the best weekend full of giggles. Anna really is getting to a fun age where her little personality is shining through. However, Monday morning I woke up to her not holding anything down and a fever of 100.4. Our first stomach bug! As any new mom knows, I panicked and worried all day long. I of course rushed her to our doctor. Our doctor just reassured me she would be fine and kids bounce back rather quickly. I know I was just having "new mom anxiety" but it never hurts to go, right? All we have been doing is snuggling and I so wish I could tell her it'll be over soon and everything will be ok. I am enjoying all these snuggles even if it is with a whimpering and fussy 8 month old.
^ I walked in to find her STANDING up in her crib Monday morning - that's a first! *proud momma* ^
^ But then I noticed she wasn't feeling that great. Thought maybe she was just hungry? ^
(Definitely not the answer)
^ and then the day just got more and more miserable... poor baby ^
^ thank God for technology and getting our mind off our fever for a few minutes ^
^ mickey mouse clubhouse definitely saved the day ... along with sesame street ^
^ Kind of amazing how our furry friends sense we don't feel good. Maximus has been staying extra close. ^
And then I looked outside and realized it has finally stopped snowing after three days straight. (these pictures I took this weekend) I am so looking forward to warmer weather and getting over colds and being able to finally embrace sunshine and long walks at the park. I know Maximus is too. He is so over being couped up inside.
