Sick little girl

Today was suppose to be the start of our 2011 family vacation but alittle someone got sick yesterday and was running high fevers (like 103 temps!). We were sooooo bummed about this but we just couldn't let Rachel travel with such high temperatures and the doctor said we just needed to wait it out (since it's viral) so Matt and I made the decision last night for Rachel and me to stay at home and he and Natalie flew out today to Omaha.

Ok, i'm going to step off the pity wagon and tell you about my wonderful little girl. I just fall more in love with Rachel every day. I love this part of being a parent - when you start to see your child's personality coming thru and you get to know them. Rachel is my little trooper. She is such a happy girl - even when she's sick. She's doing better as the day goes on but she has slept alot and is still running 101-102 temps. We've done several tepid baths when it's spiked and she hates them but she tolerates the baths because that's just who she is. She's made me laugh today and I just love her so much. i'm enjoying my one on one time with her but I do hope she gets better so that we can fly out tomorrow and meet up with the rest of our family for a few days of fun. rachel is such a sweetheart - she was chillin with me on the floor today, snacking on puffs and water out of sippy cup. I was enjoying some coffee and a travel book. She's the best!!
