Odd Thing..

So when I was sitting in the dr's office last night I had a
strange, sad and wonderful thought.....

1. Strange: I used to sit in this exact waiting room with my mommy when I was sick.
2. Sad: My little is SOOO sick, I remember feeling this way when I was little!
3. Wonderful: I am sitting in the waiting room at the dr, with my sweet baby girl who only wants me right now because she feels horrible......I used to sit in this office with my mommy and think about what it would be like when I was the mommy at the dr with my kids. It's a strange, sad and oh-so-wonderful feeling to have a sick kiddo sleeping peacefully in your lap.....

How awesome that I AM SITTING AT THE DR when my child is sick and yes, she feels HORRIBLE but in a short while she will be on the mend.

I am blessed beyond words!

Montage of Fun

This has ALL the pictures from the photo shoot (of course none with Auntie Kati in her dress :) It also has some SUPER cute video from this week. Two are 30 minutes before her fever spiked and she FREAKED OUT (Monday night) and one is from today (sick day #1). Despite being so sick she has had alot of fun and a great couple days (80% of the time ;)

Last of the Halloween Pics

Here are the pics from the Halloween Carnival. Gamma, Gampa, Auntie Kati, Auntie Kimmi and Uncle Mikie took Stephanie and it was OH SO FUN! It gave Mommy and Daddy a chance for a date night and some sleep :) Stephanie had a blast for about a 45 minutes....then it was time to go Gamma's and go to bed. Enjoy!!

Hey Uncle Mikie!!
Peek-a-boo with Auntie Kimmi

Big girl....she had the little bounce house all to herself
(Gamma thinks she needs one for home)
Hi Gampa.....

She loved the slide!
Snack break
Uncle Mikie was the person of the hour :)
So where is Auntie Kati??? She was there, from what I understand she was behind the camera most the night (you'll make a great Mommy one day ;)

Pics to Print

Here are some of my favorites from Stephanie's "photo shoot". We had a blast and got some super precious pictures!!! More to come after Kati's wedding
(we had several taken with both Stephanie and Kati.......
but you can't see her dress until the big day :)

Our little Princess is getting so big! I'm sure she'll be walking before we go out for her Christmas shoot......man I can't wait to get my new camera!
(I'm still using Moms....and love it!)

Fun Weekend.....Sick Baby

We spent the EVENING in the dr's office last night....our apt was at 8:40 and we didn't leave the dr office until 11!!! She spiked a fever around 6:30....ALL OF A SUDDEN!! It was 101.5. We gave her Tylenol and put her to bed (until the dr apt). When we got to the dr office it was 103. They did blood work, urine test (HORRIBLE) and could only tell us that her white blood cell count was pretty high (17 if that means anything to you). His only thought was maybe a kidney infection (seriously, how do you get those?). They gave her TWO HORRIBLE, THICK SHOTS and it broke my heart....she was crying, I was crying and Josh was barely awake (having not slept in 40 hours by that point). They sent us home telling us to call if her fever got up to 105. We gave her more Motrin and put her to bed (in her pack-n-play right next to me because she will NOT sleep in our bed :(

Well today she is feeling better. SUPER tired, little to no fever and only a little whiny. We are waiting to hear the results from the dr....either today or tomorrow. I'll be home with her until we know what's going on.

Strange how quick babies can get SUPER sick! She had a great weekend....Friday we had a super fun time Trick or Treating at a friends house then a special sleepover at Gamma and Gampa's. Saturday was the Bridal photoshoot with Kati, Kimmi and I. Stephanie was ALL dressed up and I got some amazing pictures (posting them soon). Sunday we hung out, grocery shopped (one of her favorites) and then had a super fun Birthday dinner for Gamma. Ms. Claudette, Gampa Steve and Memaw came.....Stephanie was passed around and loved it! (but I still think her favorite is Uncle Mikie ;)

Moms Birthday: we had a super fun time at PF Changs (sorry, no pics). I have a few pics of Stephanie before we went out....she wore a new SUPER CUTE little outfit we picked up at Kid to Kid that afternoon. Kimmi and Michael, Kati, Steve, Claudette and Memaw all loved on Stephanie....she even let Memaw hold her (which she wouldn't two weeks ago). It was a HUGE table, TONS of food and lots of fun! We each ordered something different and just ate it all......yum! For moms birthday Kati, Kimmi, Stephanie and I made her a serving platter with our handprints saying "All your Little Girls". Great idea Kati!!! Stephanie tried fruit again.....peach, banana oatmeal. She LOVED it and DIDN'T GET A DIAPER RASH!! Yea! Maybe we can do fruit now :) She also had tofu.....and loved it! I bought some for home....great way to add more protein into her diet!

Well back to working on pictures for ya'll. Stephanie is enjoying a VERY long nap......hope her fever doesn't come back while she is sleeping. Thanks in advance for prayers that our Little doesn't have anything serious. Will update you all as soon as we know. Much love!

The Brooks' Three

PS, keep an eye out for Stephanie's wishlist.....Josh and I are having a BLAST looking at toys for her :)

Update

Just posted the current Halloween Montage. Kimmi took a bunch more pictures...but I need to edit them. Will create another montage when they are done. The plan was to edit them tonight....but Stepanie is sick :( She was pushing her little walking toy around the house and having a GREAT time! She went towards the door (I was outside) and so Josh picked her up....she started crying this pitiful cry! So we figured she was tired and gave her a bath.....she started SCREAMING! We got her out, put a diaper on and I just rocked her.....as she screamed. We took her temp....102.5. Called the dr as we gave her tylenol. She has a dr apt at 8:40. She and Josh are taking a "nap" before we head to the apt. Will let you all know what the verdict it. I'll be home tomorrow so depending on how she feels I may be able to get the rest of the Halloween pics up and the SUPER CUTE video of her pushing her little walking toy.....SO CLOSE TO WALKING!!!

Enjoy the pics! Pray our Little gets better soon. (I'm doing better, went to the dr today and got meds and steroids...just in time to take care of a sick baby :(
