New pictures and Emma’s first cold

There are finally some new pictures up, 4 albums in total.  Some from the beginning of the month of Emma having tummy time wearing the sweater I made for her.  There are pictures from this past Friday and Sunday when we were trying to get a good one of her in one of her Christmas dresses for our card since Penney’s screwed up our order.  As you can see, we haven’t been successful in getting a good picture, but now that she is feeling better we’ll hopefully have better luck!

Emma has her first cold and it’s been a doozy.  She was sick with a stomach bug last week for a couple of days, got better, but then woke up on Saturday with a stuffy nose and cough.  On Sunday she started refusing to eat again and by that night she had a fever of 104 degrees.  It came down with some tylenol, but she wasn’t sleeping much so I sat up with her pretty much all night.  She was still refusing to eat on Monday and the fever came back, only to 103.7 degrees that time, though.  We took her to see the pediatrician Monday night and she was admitted from the office to the hospital for IV fluids.  After receiving fluids through the night Monday night she started acting more normal and eating again yesterday and we got to come home.  There are pictures of her in the hospital, they were taken once she was feeling better.  (The pictures were taken with my phone, so they are kind of dark.) Everyone there agreed that she was the cutest baby ever (even when she looked so sick they commented on her cuteness!)  She’s back to acting like herself now, hopefully her next cold won’t be as bad as this one!
