Week in Review: Week 4

Will I ever get better? That is the question of the week. This sickness that I have keeps lingering. I went back to the doctor on Monday and got a second round of stronger antibiotics. Kaylicious seems to be coming down with the same thing now. I am surprised that she was able to stave it off for this long. She is also struggling with acid reflux again . . . my poor little girl. Please send some healthy thoughts our way. We need them.

We mostly did things at home to entertain ourselves this week so not to spread our germs to everyone else. On Saturday, Kaylicious graduated from her crib to a toddler bed and she seems to being doing quite well with it. Today, I went to the second meeting of my Chesapeake Mommies Sewing Group. We're working on this quilted table runner. I will share photos when it's finished.

Here's what I accomplished this week:

At least I feel like I am going in the right direction now.
