Sick baby

Cat Chases, Cupcakes, and Caring for Our Little One

Life lately in a few words: cat chases, cupcakes, and caring! Miss Niva tried to make a new feline friend and I did some stress baking as we dealt with more sickness for baby girl Dakota. My days have blurred together in a sweet and messy way.

Our dog may be a little crazy, but at least the kitchen smells great! Poor Koko has been battling through a new virus but we’re all enjoying the extra snuggles from our wiggliest little one. I’m weary. I’m grateful. I’m here to share it all 😊

Appointments, Things I Google, and Our Duties

Our week started off with a bang: Dakota has been sick and had a coughing fit that scared me. She was gasping for air, so congested, and her eyes were goopy. I called our pediatrician’s office and had her seen. Poor Kota Bear has her first ear infection. I’m glad I brought her in when I did because the doctor said her eardrum was bulging (but thankfully it didn’t rupture!).

Now we’re doing ten days of antibiotics and she’s taking them like a champ. She has been so pleasant despite being sick. Early one morning, she was coughing and sniffling at 3:00 am and Jimmy was using a bulb syringe to suction her nose and she was smiling so hard at him! Who does that 🤣 (more…)
