When 24 hours seems like 100

We've had a sick baby. The day started wonderfully, with a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group at our church involving lots of yummy food and the beginning of a wonderful presentation by one of my favorite people. At that point, one of the nursery workers came to get me. Our sweet Bethany had thrown up, and so I gathered up the children and we headed home.

Baby then proceeded to throw up so many times I have lost count. After about 12 hours, she came down with a fever of about 101, but now, the fever has broken and she seems to be feeling much better. She barely slept at all last night because the reclining position seemed to greatly aggravate her tummy. We also had lots of cleanup sessions, baths, etc. and ultimately caught a few hours of sleep in the big rocking chair.

I'm just catching a quick second to blog while she sits down watching her siblings play in the living room. Here are a few fun photos from lately. As much as the self-inflicted pressure of NaBloWriMo proved unsustainable in the long run, I enjoyed regularly blogging and sharing with you all! My blog needs some love. I have about five written in my head but they will have to wait.

Watching Bethany interact with her siblings is (usually!) very entertaining.

Another supremely cool craft :)

I'm glad someone's getting use out of these! Actually, Zoya is only joking. These are way too small for her. However, Bethany, being the true Alaskan that she is, despises hats and has no use for this adorable set I bought her before she was born.
