Down for the count!

Last week on Sunday, after Hailey's 5th birthday party with her friends, she started with a fever! It ran all the way until Friday! Any where from 103.3-100 was her normal temp for the week. Even on motrin at times she was around 101 still. I took Hailey to urgent care Monday evening to see what was going on because she didn't complain of anything current just a fever. Well we didn't get any more info after seeing the Dr than we already knew. They swabbed her for strep but that came back negative and told us she just has a virus. Called her pediatrician in the morning and they said that they were seeing a lot of that and it was lasting anywhere from 3-4 days!

So between myself and Grandma (THANKS GRANDMA!) we managed the whole week off while miss hailey got better. I've never seen Hailey so sick before. Normally when she has a fever, I give her motrin and she's up and playing like normal but not this time. Hailey laid around a lot and even took a nap once or twice a day which I can't remember the last time she actually napped at home for me!

But thankfully she is better and we even got to enjoy some of the nice weather we've been having!

Hailey sick currled up on the couch!

All better!!!

Aunt Tracy's Baby Shower

This past weekend was Tracy's baby shower. It was a great time! Hailey I think is finally starting to get excited about the idea of a boy cousin! She was so set on Tracy and Chris having a girl but we all know that once she sees that baby and gets to hold him she will be in awe and want to be his buddy and help with him whenever she can! Here is a few pictures from the shower.

Hailey turns 5!!!!

WOW! Well my "baby" girl girls 5 years old tomorrow! Cannot believe that she is that old already, time really does fly by! I remember 5 years ago today like it was yesterday! I was 2 days overdue and miserable! Everyone kept telling me that I would be having this baby any time but I certainly didn't feel that way. I even left work this day 5 years ago telling everyone I would see them tomorrow...but that definitely wasn't the case. My water broke at 11pm on March 3rd and we rushed the hospital. I was only 1 cm dialated and having small contractions but I was not feeling them. After being forced to walk the hallways for an hour they let me sleep and woke up and I was not any further along, maybe 2cm. Started me on Pitocin around 10 or 11am. Made the contractions come along a lot laster and I was definitely feeling the pain then! I got the epidural and life was good. I slept most of the afternoon on the 4th and around 6:30ish I started to feel pressure down there. Pushed for 1 hour and Hailey Marie was born at 7:58pm on March 4th weighing 8lbs 15oz and 20 inches long! I will never forget the moment I first saw her or what it felt like to hold in my arms the first time! She was perfect and beautiful! Hailey Marie I love you more than words could ever describe...you are my favorite person and someone who makes my heart smile just thinking of you!!! Here are a few pictures from the past 5 years.
