Sick Day

Unfortunately, there are no new photos of Charlotte from the weekend. We were excited about going to Havre de Grace with Grandma Betsy to visit Great Aunt Barb on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but Charlotte came down with her first illness. She had a fever on Friday, and was extremely lethargic and ill on both Friday and Saturday. We knew she was feeling terrible when she started cuddling - she's normally an 'on the go' kind of girl, she has no time for cuddling. All she wanted to do was lay with Mommy both days. Then on Saturday morning, we discovered that she had contracted a stomach virus. Needless to say, happy little Charlotte was not a happy little camper all weekend.
We wish we could have given her some medicine to make her feel better, but two conversations with two different pediatricians netted the same results - you just have to let the illness run its course. Grandma Betsy came down yesterday to see Charlotte, which made her feel a lot better. She still has the stomach ailment as of today, but she is acting like her normal, grab at everything-constantly moving-no time for cuddling self.
Throughout the illness, Charlotte was a trooper. Even at her sickest, she managed to give a weak smile, then wave hello and good bye to anyone who she saw. Waving is her newest trick, and she won't let a silly stomach bug keep her from showing it off. Stay tuned for photos of the Charlotte wave...
