whew.

What a week and a half it has been at the Fieldhouse.

Craziness.  Some of it good.  Some of it not so good.

That would be my excuse for a lack of posting for a week.  It's been the last thing I've felt like doing at the end of the day.  But, I think we are on the upswing now.  

It all started last Monday morning.  I was getting ready for my first weekly doctor's appointment for our little guy when Micah was overcome by her very first tummy bug.  

Poor baby.  It was pitiful.

Thankfully it only lasted for a little over an hour.  We spent the rest of the day cuddling and watching LOTS of Elmo episodes.

I thought we were on the upside of things on Tuesday, but then Wednesday came.  Micah was GRUMPY. She was running a little fever, but nothing {and I mean nothing} made her happy.

Other than the fever, she had no symptoms.  It was slightly frustrating because all I wanted was for her to feel better.  Our week basically went on like this until Sunday evening when she started to turn the corner.  It was a long week of screaming, crying {both of us}, and endless efforts to entertain her.

What I discovered in the midst of all of this was that her bottom two molars are coming in.

Her little gums were so swollen and red that it is no wonder she was so fussy.  So, we began the ibuprofen and cold teething rings.  This definitely helped.

The molars have finally broken through, and she is back to her happy, crazy self.  I missed her!

She may only have two middle bottom teeth, but those molars were determined to come on in.

Thanks a lot.

We did have a few happy moments in the middle of the fussiness.

Here she is guarding the dogs' food until it was time for lunch.  She had to make sure that they didn't try to get into it early.

Checking for the food that spilled over the side.  Love those chubby legs and tippy toes.

We pulled down all of the baby stuff from the attic, cleaned it off, and put it in the house on Saturday.

Micah was fascinated by it.

Checking it out.

Deciding she's a fan.

Trying it out for herself, just to make sure it's okay for brother ;)

And, we also decided to do this.

Yes, we are crazy.  

We are putting in new floors in our living room.

While our baby boy could make his debut any day.

We like to keep things interesting :)
