The Road To Recovery

















It looks like this round of antibiotics is working. We're not all the way there yet, but she only got up twice last night and her general demeanor has been much better. Which is a darn good thing because after a week of whining, crying, clinging baby, I was just about ready to commit ritualistic suicide. All I can say is that it is a bloggammed good thing I didn't have a colicky baby because I don't think we would have survived that.

  2. Whew... WAy to put her right into the germy car while she's on antibiotics! PERFECT timing. She can't catch anything on the meds, right?

  4. I think the thing I love about you is how much we are alike. You say what I think. Seriously. Praise the Lord I didn't have colicky babies. I have a hard time when my kids just whine let alone full on scream for hours on end. It takes a truly gifted person.

  6. Xander is beside himself pointing and saying "car cart!" and "Beep beep!" I'm trying to get him to say "Sophie" but it's coming out "Too-fee."

    We'll keep working on it =) Glad you are all on the mend!

  7. Yay! And seeing Sophie in the driver seat (okay, the passenger seat with a wheel that doesn't do anything anyway, but that loses the point of this sentence) is SCARY!

  8. Ear infections are evil. I'm glad to hear she's doing better!

    Those car things are also sort of evil. They seem fantastic, but then Axel worms his way out of the seatbelt and throws himself out of them while they are in motion. And I am a bad cart driver and end up slamming into aisles. For us, a mess all around.

  10. I'll let Adyson comment on this one (she is looking at Sophie's picture).

    "Awww, baby in car. Hi baby!"

  11. Is that one of those cool cars that's attached to the front of a shopping cart? AWESOME. They totally didn't have those when I was a kid and I'm jealous.

  13. Yay Bean!!!!!

    Also, is it just me or are those carts like trying to manuever a yacht???

  14. Whew! Thank goodness for super-strength antibiotics ;)

  15. Woo hoo! Glad members of the Family Bean are on the mend!

    I agree with the others about those car carts. So difficult to steer. I always fear I'm going to be pulled over by the frozen foods for a suspected GSUI (yes, that's Grocery Shopping Under the Influence).

  16. I am so glad to hear that she is feeling better. I completely understand the colicky baby thing. My son only and a couple of all night -actually a couple of hour - crying stints and I wanted to pull my hair out.

  17. I see that smile peeking through!

    WHOO-HOO!

    Glad to know you can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

  18. Cute picture! My kids always beg to ride in the "baby truck." And I always cringe, because they look so gross. At least Safeway parks them outside so they can bake in the sun and hopefully kill anything living on them.

    LOL at "ritualistic suicide."

  19. Hey I was at Safeway today...we must have missed each other! Anyway, I am glad the Bean is on the mend. When ya'll are up to it, we should meet at Chapel Hill Nursery and pet some animals. CRW and I went last Tuesday and he LOVED it.
