The Sickie Patrol

I'm so ready for the Bourgeois crew to be well. Sadie has literally had 6 ear infections in 5 months. She had an appointment with an ENT today, and she is getting tubes and having her adenoids removed on May 14. My poor baby has taken every antibiotic (the super strong ones give her tummy trouble), but her little ears still cause her problems. She didn't do so well on her hearing test, but her ENT thinks the tubes will make that all better. I'm ready for our baby to have some relief. Baby--I mean big girl. She corrected me today when I called her my baby ("No, I big girl."). Betsy had 103.3 fever last week and bronchitis. Peter woke up throwing up today. And Momma has a bad cough and a sinus/cold thing. Help us, Lord!

On Friday Gumbo and Bee took B, Say, and Lawson to dinner at Charlie's Seafood. They are soooo brave! The girls were supposedly good. Peter and I got to sneak in a quick date. On Saturday we had planned to go to French Quarter Fest, but after ballet and READ class P, Say, and I were wiped out. We all took a nap...except for B. She kept waking me up and saying, "I thought we were doin' somethin'." We finally rallied then took a walk in the neighborhood. Spring and fall in the neighborhood is so awesome--I love walking everywhere. We walked to Slice for lunch then to the Zoo then we sat outside at PJ's and had coffee and a snack. While we were at PJ's, the Carvilles were sitting outside at Whole Foods. We met up and the girls went nuts. They shrieked, ran around, and hugged each other. Yesterday Marme, the sisters, and Lawson (shhhh, don't tell my girls) celebrated Marme's birthday with lunch and shopping. This morning was pure Monday morning chaos--sick Peter + the regular morning insanity + having to leave early for Sadie's ENT appointment = yikes!

Tonight Sadie cried in her bed for a really long time so I went in there and got her and rocked her. I told her that she had to go to bed and she pointed to my chest and said, "No, I sleep right dere on Mommy" and then gave me a huge smile. She is so adorable. She was such a big girl today, and didn't make a peep even in a new place with a new doctor. While we were waiting she would smile at me then say, "Hug!" then hug me. She is starting to try to be sassy, but she ends up giving up and being sweet.

Betsy is acting so grown up lately. And she is saying precious things. Last night Betsy said, "Mommy, you make me so comfy. And Daddy does too. I love you. You are the best." Then she kissed my hand. It was so sweet and made my eyes well up with tears.

Last week Sadie got her first haircut--adorable--and we got our first Hansen's of the season.

Pics later!
