We've been struck with a heat wave here (and in several other areas). I had originally planned to enjoy the beach, pool, parks and walking as much as possible this Summer but this 90 to 100 degree weather is forcing us to stay inside where it's cool and comfortable. Atleast, I know I'm not missing out on too much being sick.
Thankfully, my mother in law was here to help me out with Edee for a couple hours. Thank you again, Diane. I know I would have some how managed to push through it but you really saved me when I was the worst. Also, I couldn't have gotten the rest and relaxing I needed without Ryan. Thank you for taking care of Edee in the middle of the week. I really appreciate your help. You make being sick just a little bit more bearable.
So, now it's antibiotics for strep throat. *double sad face* Yes, it's strep throat. Smoothies, milk shakes, hot broth and hot tea are on the menu for me. I just want it feel better. I know that giving, doing and trying my best when I am sick is not even close to when I'm at my all. And I don't think the laundry can climb any higher. So, I know it is time to get better. Besides that missing two work days is one too many.
On a more positive note:
Edee has FIVE teeth! Yes, five. My little girl has 5 teeth in her tiny little mouth. I can't believe it. I discovered #5 when she rewarded me with a big giggle after tickling her belly. Which, she will grab and squeeze when you ask, "Edee, where's your belly?" Guess what came after that? Her belly button. She had to look and poke to see exactly what it was. She is learning so quickly.
Her personality is definitely starting to show through as well. She cuddles her monkey, blankie and various other toys. I think most of the time it is because she is excited for them but sometimes I believe it is a form of affection. She recently started laying her head down on pillows, our shoulders, or even the floor. It might be just to take a rest but I think it's a form of affection as well. Whatever it is, it is so darn adorable. I can't get enough of how sweet she looks when she just pauses for a moment and takes in the world around her.
We are looking forward to more Summer hours with Maddi. August is full of time at our house. I know she will definitely get us outside with camping, swimming, biking, etc. If this heat keeps us inside I have some craft projects planned for her too. Either way it shall be fun!
Other than that, all is well. I hope everyone is enjoying their hot, hot summer in whatever way is most refreshing!
