My poor baby!

We were up all night with Annie last night and finally heard what her real cry sounds like. The poor thing was so tired but every time we laid her down she would start to scream. Once she was upright and in our arms she was smiling and happy but it was a tough night - one that would have had us in the ER if she was our first but we sort of thought it might be ear involved so we hung in there and snuggled her all night. Molly is also coughing all night thanks to the dampness in the air but she rallies quickly in the mornings. She did tell Annie to be quiet at one point last night but didn't remember it this morning! We did end up taking Ann to the pediatrician this afternoon and she does, in fact, have an ear infection in each ear that is oozing and blistered and she has some fluid in her lungs that we are going to have to watch. I had a moment of panic in the pediatricians office as I flashed back to Molly getting pneumonia several times during her infancy and ending up with pretty regular asthma but the doctor assured me that since Ann has never had anything lung involved before and is very healthy otherwise that is probably an unrealistic fear - apparently she's never been with Molly during a breathing episode where her lips turn blue and she gasps for breath. Once Annie gets some antibiotics in her she should be feeling better and she is such a trooper! My sweet baby has probably had this for a while and you would never know it based on her personality.

Bob was at school last night so I ordered pizza for the kids and

no one enjoyed it more than Annie! How this child manages to eat

so much with so few teeth I will never understand!

Annie got the royal treatment after her doctor's appointment today - we held her, kissed her and just gave her all of the TLC possible. I ran a nice warm bath for her and Bob ended up going in with her since she was feeling really awful - that got lots of smiles from Annie and the big kids. Afterwards she snuggled into Daddy for a rest.

After 20 minutes we put Annie in her crib but within a few minutes she was back out on the couch with her Daddy. She is such a great kid that when she is like this it is really hard not to give in to whatever she wants! I have a feeling we may see lots of Annie tonight! Usually once a day or two of antibiotics are in the kids systems they start feeling better so let's hope that works for Annie!
