Still Fighting a Cold...

Poor little Ella has been fighting this cold for 2.5 weeks now. I did actually end up taking her to the Doctor on Tuesday afternoon. She has an ear infection and a sinus infection. Started her on an antibiotic. She was a little better about going to the Doctor this time...but she still knows when the person who walks in with the white coat is the Doctor...she flips out. Starts crying and saying, "noooo!" Her cough is pretty bad today. She was up 3 times last night. She did however take a 3 hour nap today....which she needed!

Let's see....last Sunday Josh left to go to Virginia Beach...he had to be in court there on Monday so he left Sunday to drive over. He was in court all day Monday and then had to drive back Monday late afternoon....he got home around 9. I got off at 2pm on Monday...so I had 3 hours to myself before having to pick Ella up...it was awesome! I did some Christmas shopping and had a great time walking around the stores by myself (it's been a while since I was able to do that!)

Tuesday was a normal day for all....well except for having to take Ella to the Doctors. Wednesday...Josh had a normal day of work...and then had to go to "night driving training." So he got home around 11:00-11:30 that night. Thursday....was the midnight release of the xbox one!!! Aren't you excited?!? Josh was :) Him and 2 of his friends went and got theirs! Which was on pre-order....so he went to bed at like 4am....he took Friday off specifically to play on the new xbox....but he has lots of vacation time built up....so why not! Then Friday I worked....and had a girls night after work. Josh picked Ella up and I went to dinner with two friends and then we went and saw Chonda Pierce...who is a Christian comedian...and she is hilarious! I had a fantastic time and was home way later then I am used to! So I didn't get to bed until almost 11:45...and then I had to work this morning! Whew....it's been a busy week!

Ella was a big helper today....

She was very eager to help Mommy make brownies! (She did just wash her hands before helping....as she is touching the spoon!)

The nurse at the Doctors office said, "Wow...Ella looks just like you!" I said, "Well she does have a few of my features....but if you saw my husband then you would think Ella looks just like him!" She said it must be the hair...you both have long hair and similar colors.

Last Friday night we went to the hospital to see our friends who just had a baby. Ella can't go back into the Mother/Baby center so Josh and I took turns going in. I saw out with her in the waiting room first and then we switched. Ella colored a picture for "Baby Sadie." She is very excited to meet her....but of course Ella needs to be healthy first!

I am having a massage next Saturday....finally cashing in on a Christmas gift from LAST year. I'm looking forward to it! I wish it had been today.

Well that has been our week in a nutshell....and I'm ready for bed....I only slept for about 5 hours last night....and I like sleep!
