Poor Annika

Annika has not been feeling real great lately. We made it to Sunday School yesterday but came home afterwards because she wasn't feeling well. This morning she was still not feeling well (she coughed from about 4am-8am) I was up and listened to her the whole time. I felt so bad for her.

So off to the doctor we went...after a fun wait in the waiting room a little boy wouldn't leave her a lone and it didn't make her happy (especially after grabbing her arms three times). We got in and they weighed her (our little Annika...she only weighed 19 lbs and that was with a diaper and a onsie on). :)

The outcome....poor Annika has a double ear infection (not too bad, but enough to warrant medication) and she got Albuteral (not sure if I spelled that right) an inhaler for her cough. They told us that they were going to watch her for asthma (he thinks that could be why she has been coughing since Thanksgiving), we are hoping this is not the case.

But a real fun story. I went to Walmart to pick up her prescriptions she was in the front of the cart and the lady at the desk was typing in the information and the other lady next to her was looking at Annika and found out that she was sick and they said, "ahhh...poor little girl is sick" and on cue poor little baby's lip came jetting out and out comes the tears...before this she was just fine! The ladies began to laugh b/c it was soo perfectly on cue (I laughed also). So she finally got over that and was fine for the half hour we had to wait so we went and looked at all the little baby dress (bought her some hair bows) and then went back to pick the prescription. When we were just about to leave the same ladies were at the counter and started to talk to her again....and guess what!! Yep, right on cue out popped the lip and she started complaining again....we all said good-bye laughing...except for Annika (but of course when we got to the check out she was just fine looking for a kitty-kitty). :)

Here's a picture I took of Annika while we were visiting my family back home. This is my best friends little girl Shelby...Shelby loves babies (especially little girls, you see Shelby is the only girl in her family and has 5 older brothers).
