Emily has been sick all weekend with cold symptoms (cough, nasal drainage/congestion) and fever, I took her to the doctor this morning and everything checked out ok. Emily did have to have a blood test done to make sure everything looked viral, since she had a fever for so long just to make sure we were not missing anything. Everything looked good and we were sent home to continue doing what we have been and watch for a few more days. This afternoon Emily has really turned a corner and is doing much better. She still has all the cold symptoms but her temperature is 99-100 without any Tylenol (we were doing Tylenol every 4 hrs. over the weekend and it would only get down to 100.2 with Tylenol). Her fever broke a few hours ago and I think that has really made her feel better, she is much more happy and acting more like herself, but still needing some extra loving and protests whenever I put her down.
I have been trying to learn Photoshop with the help of my dad. I have been working on some photos today that I took last week and hope to have them done soon. It is taking me much longer than I expected to work on them and it really gives me an appreciation for the time intensive end products that I always took for granted from my dad. I need to get a finished product so that I can finish up my website with some images that I did. Once I get more familiar with Photoshop that will help speed things up some.
The last few weeks Paul and I have been trying SO hard to get a video of Emily "talking" to us, she has such a sweet little voice and will be cooing up a storm and then we pull the camera out and she either stops or starts to fuss at us. She seems almost startled by the camera at times and other times just stares at it, very quiet and still, trying to figure out what that thing is. Today I got her talking and then pulled out the camera (that I had ready and waiting at my side) and started the video. I think I got it! You can't see her the well in the beginning since its from the side and I could not really see what I was doing, but you can hear her and then I got her face some at the end. Please excuse the crusty nose from nasal drainage :) I will post some pictures from the last week too.
