Sorry I missed last Tuesday, but I have not been feeling well and figured Monday's post was good enough. Poor Audrey has been sick this past week, but today she is feeling much better demonstrated by her playfulness. It started with a low fever on New Year's Eve, but on Friday her temperature got up to 102, so we took her to the pediatrician's office. The nurse practitioner found nothing wrong with her and after way too much poking and prodding told us she "thought that maybe" it was an ear infection just starting, but she wasn't sure. She ended up prescribing amoxicillin and we left the office quite frustrated not knowing exactly what was wrong. Finally, her fever went away on Sunday and we thought she was all better, but then yesterday afternoon she broke out in a rash/hives all over her neck, chest and back. German took her to the Urgent Care last night and told the doctor everything that had happened. He checked her ears and said they were fine and to stop the amoxicillin, he diagnosed it as
roseola. It was comforting to finally know what she had and today she seems completely better. We're so glad she is no longer sick, but I am going to miss how lovey and cuddly she was with German and me. She constantly wanted to be held (mostly by dad) and would snuggle up on our lap or she'd just walk up and hug our legs. And it was soo cute to see Lucy's concerned face when her little sister cried. She is such a great big sister and is always bringing Audrey her blankie or sharing toys with her. Audrey does not share as well and really doesn't seem to give Lucy the time of day.
(sick girls love to cuddle)
Another cute tidbit about Lucy this week was I had to run into the bathroom to empty the contents of my stomach and I didn't have time to close the bathroom door all the way. Poor Lucy pushed the door open and saw her sick mommy on her knees. I looked over quickly and saw the fear and shock in her eyes, she looked so worried. It was cute and sad at the same time. In between heaves I tried to reassure her by telling her I was ok and to go play (and to stay away from me). Hopefully, she wasn't too traumatized--I've got to make sure I close the door all the way next time.
Earlier last week we got to see our awesome friends the Shelleys who are home visiting family for the holidays and I got to snug on their cute little almost 6 month old Porter. He is just too cute (and so is Liz)! Babies are so much fun...

I know what you mean about the little ones being sick...its a love/hate relationship. hate to see them so sick and miserable but love those extra cuddles.
Glad that she is feeling better!
So glad Audrey's on the mend! That is just miserable when they are sick. And how sweet that Lucy is such a caring little gal. Hope that nausea will be gone soon!
We miss you guys and are happy you are enjoying the adventure of life!
It is so scary to have sick kids! I'm jealous you got to see the Shelley's! We missed them!
So fun that you got to see the Shelleys!
I hope you are all feeling better soon. I, too, totally love the cuddles you get when they're sick. Although---baby Alex is sick right now and won't "cuddle". I have to hold him upright on my lap while he watches "horton hears a who" again and again and again. As soon as I try to get him to snuggle, he gets mad. Ugh. Anyway, love the pic of you girls wiht Liz and Porter!
Sorry to hear you've been sick still. You should be feeling better any day soon...hopefully. It was really nice hanging out with you and just chatting after the Harston's. I've decided you guys have to move here so you'll have to force G to apply at A&M just so we can hang out more.
I'm sad to hear Audrey was so sick. Justin had roseola last week so it is going around. He has been cutting teeth at the same time so it seems like he has been sick for a long time now.
I'm also sad to hear your not feeling too great yourself. I cannot imagine being nausiated with twins. I am awarding you wife and mother of the year award!!!
