Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I would love to say that I have enjoyed a wonderful day with my family but that would be an untruth. Scott and the big kids are headed to the sorta in-laws for Thanksgiving. I am staying home with the sick princess. Poor girl, she threw up all of her feeding last night and spent the entire night coughing, gagging and choking again :( When she got up this morning she had completely soiled her diaper, pajamas and bed :( I got that cleaned up, a new diaper under her booty and she stretched and filled another diaper! Cleaned that one up and we had a repeat performance :( This poor baby. She is just not feeling very well. However, I am still very thankful today. I am thankful that I am able to stay home with my baby and take care of her. I am thankful that we are here, snug at home, instead of in the hospital. I know some of our friends are admitted right now and that just stinks. This time a year ago we wouldn't have been able to head this off without an IV, she is making progress. She is holding down some Pedialyte today, 5 ounces so far, will try a few more in another hour or so and see how she does, this has been a weird illness. She's perky for a little while, then laying in her classic flattened position the next. I may get her dressed and out of her jammies, she has a really cute Thanksgivingy shirt to wear today, I hate for her not to show off her cuteness!
We are cuddled up watching the gorgeous snowflakes (we were under a tornado warning last night, you gotta love the Ozarks!) and Elmo's Countdown to Christmas, definitely something to be thankful for.

Despite everything not being quite the way one would wish for I hope your Thanksgiving was peaceful with your daughter laying in your arms and watching the snowflakes together, yes so much to be thankful even at times like this when it's not exactly as you had planned it. I do hope she feels better soon and is back to her cheery self. Hugs to your princess
Oh, Sweet Addy -- I am praying that you start feeling better soon! - I hope your hubby brought you home some leftovers =)
Sweet girl, feel better soon! Big hugs!!!
Oh poor Addy, that sounds miserable, I am glad she can stay home with you at least, we go through the filled diaper days sometimes, it is definitely exhausting. I am glad you both had such beautiful snow to watch. Sometimes being a lone for a holiday is peaceful and replenishing.
