We Went

We went to the doctor's office - that is.

Harper had a fever again yesterday.

And today she woke up from her morning nap with a blotchy-like rash on her stomach, back, and forehead.

After waiting an hour - the doctor sent us home with nothing. She said it was a virus - so we just have to ride it out :(

Harper has been in a better mood today. I want my happy, silly baby back please!

To go...or not to go????

I'm having a tough time deciding if I want to take Harper to the doctor or not. I don't want to be that mom that is always bringing her child to the doctor. But I also don't want Harper to suffer if she doesn't have to.

It all started a few weeks ago when Harper got a cough, then it turned to a wet cough. After a week or so of this cough, we decided to take her to the doctor. The doctor said it could be allergies - but treated her when an antibiotic to be safe. I'm sure it didn't hurt her situation any.

Yesterday, Harper was kind of crabby and felt warm - sure enough she had a low grade fever of 100.4. Today her right eye has been watering non-stop - even some yellow/green discharge :( As the day went on - both eyes started getting a little puffy and red.

I'm not sure if this is the beginning of bacterial pink eye - or what is going on. It could be allergies - as we did go golfing for a bit. But the fever and watering eye started before we went outside. And she did go to daycare on Friday - which was the first time in a month. So she could have easily picked something up.

Do I follow my motherly instincts and take her to the doctor??? Or wait it out another day???? I guess we'll see how she looks/feels in the morning.

Our Week in Pictures

Sometimes I don't feel like blogging - like this week. I had two tests to study for, Adam worked all week, Big Brother is on :) , and Harper has been resisting bedtime the past two nights. So here is a summary of our week in pictures.

mmmmmm watermelon! Harper loves watermelon - although it doesn't look like it from looking at this picture. My guess is that she bit off a huge chunk and is coughing it up - she never learns!

Harper got to spend a few days with daddy when mommy was at class and at work. This is the first time they took a nap in the chair in MONTHS!

This is also what happens when Harper is in daddy's care - getting trapped under the laundry basket! She didn't like it!

Look at this adorable summer outfit - I couldn't resist taking a picture of the front.....


.....and the back!


It has been so dang hot this week that we finally got to play in the new swimming pool!

** You may have noticed that I don't have a swim diaper on Harper - no sense wasting a diaper just to be in our own pool! If she peed in the water - o'well! I'm sure she does it in the bathtub all of the time!

**At the end of the video our mailman was walking by - she is SO nosey! She loves watching people - it doesn't matter what they're doing - she's mesmerized!
