This little Piggie got Swine Flu

It is true. Somehow this little piggie got out of Molly's hammy-down pajamas and the last 5 days we have been stuck home with swine flu. It started last Tuesday night when Molly woke up about 11 pm crying and I went to check on her. She was HOT! I brought her into Nick and he confirmed my suspicion. We took her temperature- 102.5 and then gave her Tylenol. She wouldn't go back to sleep, so we spent the next hour or so cuddling on the rocking chair. After several more times awake, a priesthood blessing and many prayers the sun came up and we called the doctor. After going in, the doctor diagnosed Molly with Swine flu. Not exactly sure where she picked it up but my suspicion is that she got it at her "well baby" check-up a few days prior. Anyway, we have spent the last week shut in trying not to infect the rest of the world. I started showing symptoms a few days later. I think we will stay in for a few more days. Molly doesn't have a fever anymore (and hasn't since last Wednesday) but still has a yucky cough and nose. I just have the nose stuff still. The good news is that it seems like a mild flu and we are slowly getting better. Here are some things we have done while stuck home.

Molly had suckers to keep the couch down a little. She loved it.

Curled Molly's hair for the first time.

Made a cute craft for her bows.

Read lots of books! (Molly loves to pull them all off the shelf)

Hung blinds in the house. Tried a new recipe. Hung out as a family. Watched several movies.

Happy Halloween!

Idaho & Friends

Yesterday we drove up to Twin Falls ID to visit some of our friends from grad. school. We visited, went to church, went to see the falls and to the Twin Falls temple. It was so much fun to see the Johnson's again! (They were in ID for a medical rotation, but heading back to vegas next week) We got to meet their baby Russell who is about a month and a half younger than Molly.

We also had Molly's 9 month check up this last week. She is doing great and growing strong. She was 15 lbs. 12 oz. (6th percentile) and 27 inches tall (40th percentile) We didn't get a H1N1 shot because they didn't have any, but the health dept. does and I have been going back and forth about it. Any advice?

There's No Place Like Home

This is a tile that my mother-in-law gave me. I love it and now having our own home, it means even more to me. Yep, it's true...we are in our new home! It is such a blessing and one that I don't want to take for granted. On our second morning in our new home, Molly woke up and Nick brought her into bed with us. I laid there with the two people that I love the most in my own home and I felt SO BLESSED! It was a great moment for me. We have been busy unpacking, organizing and cleaning. I think I have most of the boxes unpacked, but nothing on the walls yet. I am so indecisive when it comes to decorating.

Here is Molly doing her P90X push-up and then doing her crawl to get into things. She also got her first tooth this last week on the 6th of October. My baby is growing up!
