We got word from the docs that Alex has another respiratory virus which is commonly associated with Croup. Not what we wanted to hear. Luckily we don't think she has croup but is just dealing with some congestion, wheezing, and a few restless nights. She did turn up positive for the UTI and we got it under control with antibiotics early on so it should be clearing up soon. Speaking of antibiotics, I left the bottle at daycare today which means Alex will miss two doses tonight. I find myself forgetting things like this more than I'd like to admit and honestly it's hard to keep up with all of this stuff sometimes. We are constantly scheduling appointments, ordering various supplies, dealing with insurance and referrals, trying to stay on top of Alex's meds and trying to be the best parents we can be. At the end of the day, I know we do our best and just seeing a smile from our baby girl or hearing her laugh makes the daily stresses melt away. I decided to post this pic of Alex because it sums up the mood around the Diffee house and makes us smile at the same time.

Baby girl is beautiful even when she is pouting and sad.

Oh, what a pitiful face....hope she gets to feeling better soon.
Nicole you are an awesome Mom don't ever doubt yourself! No matter what life throws at you, you seem to always have the patients and strength to get thru it all! You have a lot on your plate, yet you always find a way to see the positive in situations when most people would want to give up! You inspire me to be a better person! ;) Jenene
You guys are a great team, and a great Family... So you forget stuff every once in-a-while that does not change the fact that your a great parent (better yet a great mom)! We all do it! I always said I would never run-out nor forget Bella's diapers. Well, this Monday @ 7 am I ran to King Soopers to buy diapers. I forgot them at home...oops! You guys are doing a great job!
