Soooo, rough week for us. I got a call Monday afternoon from Camille's daycare that they suspected Hand-Foot-Mouth for her (a viral infection that covers her hands, feet, and chin/nose in red bumps, similar to chicken pox). I flew over to the daycare, scooped her up, and made it to the pediatricians office 10 minutes before they closed for the day. They confirmed the diagnosis AND also found that she had an ear infection, which then became a double ear infection by our Wednesday appointment. So she has been home with us all week (thank goodness for a mother-in-law who dropped everything to come help) and she is on the mend ... but we are still dealing with the expected fussiness and sleepless nights that are standard with a babe being sick. Poor thing, it just breaks my heart to see her not at 100%, but we've been having extra snuggles to help her feel better.

I attended a baby shower recently that had such a cute favor for attendees. In a large basket by the front door, they had little votive candles for everyone with this sweet message attached: "Thank you for being with us today! Here is a candle for you to light, Once the stork has made his flight. With a flicker of the flame, Please say a prayer in Elaina's name."
Is that not the sweetest favor idea?

Since we've had little sleep this week, I've been a little too excited about my morning coffee. My favorite flavor right now is Wild Mountain Blueberry. I've been pairing it with some lemon wildberry mini-biscotti from Harris Teeter and it's a great morning treat.
Who's excited for Thanksgiving? THIS GIRL. Bring on the stuffing and next-day turkey, mayo and cranberry sauce sandwiches!
What are your Thanksgiving plans? Will you be traveling?
TGIF y'all, and hope you will join in on Five on Friday this week! Cheers to the weekend!

I have a recipe for a grilled cheese sammy called a "California Grilled Cheese" with thin slices of red onion, cheese, and avocado and it is delicious!! But then again, avocados in any way are delicious. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletepoor Camille, Millie had that too. :( that grilled cheese looks and sounds amazing. I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteSorry Camille is not feeling well. I am so glad I don't have to do daycare this time around. We all got our flu shots this year just to protect her! She's at the gym daycare every day for an hour, so I keep my fingers crossed. I hope your babe feels better very soon. We are headed to Myrtle Beach next Tuesday to spend the holiday there until Sunday. Should hopefully be a wonderful time!

ReplyDeletePoor Camille! Ella had a mild case of hand foot and mouth a few weeks ago, and it was awful! I can't imagine how it must have been with an ear infection on top of it! Hope she feels better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet baby girl still so adorable even when she's sick! And that sandwich...omg...I made one similar a few months back and it might have to make it's way into my kitchen this weekend. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteAwww poor sweet Camille! I hope that she will be feeling better soon! And I hope that you will be able to get some much needed rest soon too. :-)

ReplyDeleteHow have I not seen that coffee in stores? That's a "need to try". I hope your baby feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteAww poor Camille! Hope she starts feeling better soon. We've been battling a cold this week; it just breaks my heart for my baby to not be able to breathe through her nose at all!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Green Mountain Blueberry coffee! Thought it was going to be weird at first (because blueberries and coffee? you never know) and now am addicted!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for Camille! Hope she is feeling better now. Will have to give that coffee a try! Green Mountain is my favorite Keurig brand. Love those avocado grilled cheese sandwiches... with bacon! xo
ReplyDeleteHope little Camille feels better soon. Poor thing. I so need to find those k-cups!! Love blueberry coffee.
