Fever

Grace has been sick for the past three days. High fever, sore throat, chills, sweats, all that jazz. The poor girl could not sleep last night, and was continuously waking up with aches. After she finally fell asleep (for the fourth time) I went to snuggle her a little in her bed.

I held her fevered body and tucked my nose into her wavy hair. It was a tender moment, and I reflected on Grace's sweet, yet feisty, little soul. I love my little girl so much, and the richness and life she brings to our family.

So I was warmed to the heart when I heard her stir, and say, "Mama?"



"Yes, honey?"


"Go sleep with Dad."

OH My that is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I almost bust into tears right here. So sweet. I hope she is feeling better.

Robyn said...

That is funny. I was expecting a different post after I talked to you today. Guess you deleted it? Grace is so beautiful.

Jen said...

Even in her sleep, she's funny.

Haha! What a character.

We are feeling it right now. I think Tanner has given his love bug to Kipp and I. We are both feeling so sick. Not fun.

Robyn said...

Is Grace okay? She has seriously had a fever for 20 days! I am starting to get worried. Snip..snap.

Robyn said...

Are you obsessed with Peggy Lee or something?

Christie's Mom said...

Seriously. I am with Robyn. Update!

Christie's Mom said...

Either update this blog or take it down. I am tired of looking at Grace being sick.

Thank you.

Jen said...

Robyn, I am so impressed that you knew who sang that.

I think C should add the song in the background if she's not going to post anything new. At least give us something to sing to.

If you ever want to see me enter your home holding a sack from Gymboree again.....UPDATE THE BLOG!

Christie's Mom said...

THATS IT. THE TRIP TO GYMBOREE WITH MY MEGA-GYM BUCKS ON FRIDAY IS OFF.

UNLESS...

YOU DO A MAJOR UPDATE.

HARUMPH!

Christie's Mom said...

I am not kidding.....

Christie's Mom said...

Wow..... Just shut it down then.

Christie's Mom said...

Why bother having this blog if you are not going to update it? It is very annoying for family and friends. Get going or shut it down.
