We purchased a fancy little air purifier for Ella's room.....trying to think of all things that will cut down on her coughing. I read quite a few articles on how to deal with allergies...as I really think that's what she has. The switch to Zyrtec was good...we run the air purifier at night. And her bedding gets washed weekly in hot water to kill the dust mites, we clean her room at least once a week, and well...of course we're only a week into it...but at least we're sleeping through the night!!! Last week Josh and I were only getting about 4 hours of sleep at night due to her horrible coughing and having to get up with her over and over. The worst part of her coughing was at night....and always started at midnight...and would last until about 4....ugh! So after a few days of that....I was whipped...and Josh and I are both super busy at work...I had to work Saturday....and I was exhausted...I came home around 1:30...and it was just about time for Ella to lay down and take a nap....she took a 3 hour nap....and so did I!! :) A full 3 hours...I couldn't believe it....but I was super tired! :)
This past week Josh has been practically living at work...he has a defense expert coming in to review his case and he wanted to make sure he didn't miss anything...so he has been working from 6am - midnight for almost a week straight....he did come home from 6:30-7:30 so he could see Ella and have dinner with us....then back to work he went...
Ella really likes to do what Mama does....one day this week I was getting ready for work and I was blow-drying my hair...next thing I know...Ella is standing next to me....
And she's got her brush and pretend hair-dryer...also doing her hair! :)
Ella has gotten into playing with her dress-up clothes....Josh is not a fan at all of the shoes...but she likes them! She's only allowed to wear them in the living room where the carpet is....
And now she asks to be a princess all the time! :)
Yesterday our friends were having a "gender reveal" party to tell us all what they were having...boy or girl....the majority was thinking boy....but when we all sprayed the silly string and saw the pink....we were surprised....girl it is!!! :) So of course....now I'm in a shopping mode....as shopping for a new baby girl is so much fun! :) Josh had to work today...so Ella and I went to church...and after church...of course we had to go to Target! And picked up a few baby girl things....!
I felt like Betty Crocker today....I made (for the first time ever)...Mozzerella stuffed meatballs served over spaghetti...I was pretty impressed....turned out pretty good! Ella ate a good portion of that! I also made in the crockpot...Chicken Marsala. And I made a caramel cream cheese apple dip....yummm!
We had weather around 65 today...I had the windows open....and now tonight they're calling for 4-8 inches of snow/sleet moving in.....ugh! I'm over winter! So guess we'll see what tomorrow brings!
