Last year, Lindsay told us about a farm in Louisville that would be a great place to bring the girls. We weren't able to make it then, so we made a point to visit this year! Lindsay was right... the girls had a great time picking pumpkins, riding ponies, finding our way through a corn maze (I have to brag that Evie and Mommy won, lol~~not because we made it out first but because we were the only ones to come out of the "proper" exit!), petting the animals on the farm, riding tractors and sliding down the mountain slide!

All of our girls have been good babies, but Evie has been the easiest (which very well could be due to the fact that Matt and I just didn't know what we were doing with the other 2..lol!). She is so happy and is always smiling. She loves her big sisters and loves to be around them. Although, I feel like I sound like a broken record during the day constantly telling them to put her down, it probably bothers me more than it does Evie. She just kind of goes with the flow! Evie is starting to take a few steps and is sure to take off walking in the next week or so! She is a good little eater and is finally starting to fill out and get a little chubby just like her sisters were at this age. God has truly blessed our little family with this sweet, sweet girl! Here are just a few pics from her birthday party!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyxwQRNnYRRjAYznCNQK09Fzgj1CACIXq7nCeXlmiUM7Qn2o1ZkkRdHTZX2hMjvTpP6dJYLL9T9Q54XBN3oS06On7JvedWnbbxHwA_K7fHxtjIU50tkGqkslLVz0wGZvoqGH-sbwUC0k/s1600/09132011+024.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653875013217894306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyxwQRNnYRRjAYznCNQK09Fzgj1CACIXq7nCeXlmiUM7Qn2o1ZkkRdHTZX2hMjvTpP6dJYLL9T9Q54XBN3oS06On7JvedWnbbxHwA_K7fHxtjIU50tkGqkslLVz0wGZvoqGH-sbwUC0k/s400/09132011+024.JPG" /></a> Yes, this is the dress I made for her birthday!</div><br /><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Ln0n9CkZTwb3WhmIQxYOpzDfEKpEReN-a2Ha_wVNxW1TwGon_fCz4eGLjGSCYMmUmDhkquTzcVBY6D6OgByUM1AUAVcB_pSQ_XT4OzSF27EbuMKRCCXhyphenhyphenTWfm1baZ7ooJPEj9EfujpE/s1600/09132011+021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653874567029197042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Ln0n9CkZTwb3WhmIQxYOpzDfEKpEReN-a2Ha_wVNxW1TwGon_fCz4eGLjGSCYMmUmDhkquTzcVBY6D6OgByUM1AUAVcB_pSQ_XT4OzSF27EbuMKRCCXhyphenhyphenTWfm1baZ7ooJPEj9EfujpE/s400/09132011+021.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJueG_Ox4WUPHneJPf25Skf0fTCVNV_IG5Q2I435EL3WpS48asVe1XktiOTGwUFosQ4VkEn0dcwjZfs5gFLmeSMuRY_EljpWijM60Z7AlZKqBZymZb-ikxfU3HSyRFtyUBBeGZKGcw-z0/s1600/09132011+002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653874568564474130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJueG_Ox4WUPHneJPf25Skf0fTCVNV_IG5Q2I435EL3WpS48asVe1XktiOTGwUFosQ4VkEn0dcwjZfs5gFLmeSMuRY_EljpWijM60Z7AlZKqBZymZb-ikxfU3HSyRFtyUBBeGZKGcw-z0/s400/09132011+002.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszj0yHJMeOjhPg8DSC89P962Tyn3OobQo4r_UqHz0-JqQcW26osPPrDKESupul0raiRc_VodqgV2PQjh3bh1t7el8rna-H2_EytdnFSSqkZw0IcalUtdjcRKOZfHaBAXzO8uW6P5BueI/s1600/09132011+006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653874559852193954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszj0yHJMeOjhPg8DSC89P962Tyn3OobQo4r_UqHz0-JqQcW26osPPrDKESupul0raiRc_VodqgV2PQjh3bh1t7el8rna-H2_EytdnFSSqkZw0IcalUtdjcRKOZfHaBAXzO8uW6P5BueI/s400/09132011+006.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vR8VIsxUGDF3TeQN9I3l7JAwm1t630f7euTUgxxhSblVoWJZoDPlFA2KK41j9e2RExCqku44r1o0pdtAr-8BZew8easB9eaohZWC6ryUtMaDk05HhnF0gd_wQms5J35pL9sEdvs-s0E/s1600/09132011+130.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653874554187731058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vR8VIsxUGDF3TeQN9I3l7JAwm1t630f7euTUgxxhSblVoWJZoDPlFA2KK41j9e2RExCqku44r1o0pdtAr-8BZew8easB9eaohZWC6ryUtMaDk05HhnF0gd_wQms5J35pL9sEdvs-s0E/s400/09132011+130.JPG" /></a> Yummy!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjCUlvJ4edT3nYKd4DaUtGIyAXuyXbaXoCJmGg2pCCmnU4KQNeJ-IJZYQKrjruw2fMKyfdLB_ynRpuaQ9b2aTjmbPj9XPd4ykWbI37CcDrbyXZpXyKUAkH0fn0dYmXYJWbuj2Rh5PVfI/s1600/09132011+137.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653874544009354578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjCUlvJ4edT3nYKd4DaUtGIyAXuyXbaXoCJmGg2pCCmnU4KQNeJ-IJZYQKrjruw2fMKyfdLB_ynRpuaQ9b2aTjmbPj9XPd4ykWbI37CcDrbyXZpXyKUAkH0fn0dYmXYJWbuj2Rh5PVfI/s400/09132011+137.JPG" /></a> I can't believe you're letting me eat this!!<br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/209/826F0A06CA6A3F25880884D380F1B81A.png" /></a></p></div></div></div></div><br /></div>the nelsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789336482460253743noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786340719565801459.post-50651246764579714762011-09-08T09:01:00.002-04:002011-09-08T09:13:47.631-04:00Little Monkey<div align="center">I like to call Evie my "little monkey"!

I have been wanting to learn for a long time, so I enlisted the help of my oh so talented seamstress mother! I'm pretty sure that she could make just about anything, so when I found similar collegiate dresses (none of which were WVU of course) on Etsy I asked her if she would teach me how to make them. This was the first time I have ever sat down at the sewing machine and after it was all said and done, I think I'm hooked! </div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">Mom started me from the beginning which was finding the pattern and fabric to cutting out the material and then finally sewing it all together. She helped me quite a bit with Ella's (that was the first one) and then by the time I got to Evie's dress I felt pretty comfortable and did it pretty much on my own! I am very happy with the finished product and I think they are adorable!

<br />
<br />
<br /><div align="center">I have been wanting to do some sort of <span style="font-size:130%;"><em>wall gallery</em></span> for a long time and couldn't decide on a good place to do it. Finally, I went with the wall above the couch in our living room. I forgot to take a "before" picture, but just imagine a couple of shelves with a few frames. The best part about this project was the cost! I already had all but two of the frames and I just needed to get a couple of my black and white pics in larger sizes. I probably only spent about $10 to get the finished product! I was pretty happy with how it turned out!</div>
<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR58rmbs_iZjBQ1aTjSg1XU_F_2zqdmtYqkMb5C9QkOmMnpftoX96Vd8pvEqWKRlTgF8ReHZhr7IuDTrOJJDneYvzx4z0J1dtwaR5BPkoPt9BstQFCn54Jt9svzxL8_4-qVlSxavuPXhs/s1600/08192011+003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644590346830328146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR58rmbs_iZjBQ1aTjSg1XU_F_2zqdmtYqkMb5C9QkOmMnpftoX96Vd8pvEqWKRlTgF8ReHZhr7IuDTrOJJDneYvzx4z0J1dtwaR5BPkoPt9BstQFCn54Jt9svzxL8_4-qVlSxavuPXhs/s400/08192011+003.JPG" /></a></div>
<br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;">(After I took the pic I bought some poster putty to put on the back of the frames to help keep them straight... so far so good!)</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br /><div align="center">On to the <span style="font-size:130%;">dining room</span>.... </div>
<br /><div align="center"></div>
<br /><div align="center">This is the BEFORE picture (well after I took the pictures off the wall). Ughh!! I have never liked the dining room. The walls were red when we moved in and at first I was ok with them, but the longer we've lived here the more I hated them! The worst part about this room was that I never felt it looked "finished." Just some random stuff hung on the wall to fill the space...
<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644590334865192882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZhukEMF-VODsgfKH4TgPgaHww_9-Gugg-DXZ81ualTv4EVBVddC7cgSTazswmVI_Q2V7EejJEI8xbxgX91lmMYSQuDOEUpVLL1X1Qyq5Aq3zOmkZbwj2Eho3KdazkbNzGvVxyzVHqpc/s400/05302011+006.JPG" />
<br />
<br /><div align="center">Here is the AFTER... I think it loooks much better and more put together. We took the hutch off of the buffet, which opened up the room a lot and the lighter color paint makes the room look much bigger! I kinda love my turquoise vase! I'm still debating on a rug for the room, but all in all it is much improved! </div>

<br />
<br />I just got finished painting the <span style="font-size:130%;">master bathroom</span> and after I get it all finished I'm moving on to the <span style="font-size:130%;">basement</span>! More pics to follow!

They each even got to drive the boat!</p><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAfXOlczfTpYksYFVriQYpNT3iuXgtZh9i-657IK_cl0KXR4LigdYem10ZCGFrPWZhq_8o-1XuMnCthoOjo4BV-0iPB2JGYe_9q3T86LIUqh8aKm0VnK0R6FoCt9S2DZ-yuk31dutDf34/s1600/dolphin.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 371px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635605511016993554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAfXOlczfTpYksYFVriQYpNT3iuXgtZh9i-657IK_cl0KXR4LigdYem10ZCGFrPWZhq_8o-1XuMnCthoOjo4BV-0iPB2JGYe_9q3T86LIUqh8aKm0VnK0R6FoCt9S2DZ-yuk31dutDf34/s400/dolphin.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><div align="center">And of course, there was plenty of time spent on the beach! <br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BUYzsqspcixdpgeq32OB6UM4KGxnoZFtQFitJnhaPwxwooCC63Yrl8eWJ7wp7MsN_SJ4J3DLu06SAhYH2JkmWNp0TMiL_aDg-ph2g7fudoyd2flShkX1_V5UG9PeXIMnM7e1ABCePaM/s1600/beach.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635605507790489442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BUYzsqspcixdpgeq32OB6UM4KGxnoZFtQFitJnhaPwxwooCC63Yrl8eWJ7wp7MsN_SJ4J3DLu06SAhYH2JkmWNp0TMiL_aDg-ph2g7fudoyd2flShkX1_V5UG9PeXIMnM7e1ABCePaM/s400/beach.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcN65KUqb4AWZEAW7bTBMN0jCITOcQCcJHd_QLf5HiKZ89ZNouN7zH2LSnMa9482xqEQv4Z-u3xOuWvHaajhUokE4zR9msxbkG_e1oUcDcdTfzlF7vI5bhV-XAh8uMSQCDms4lwxOgXQE/s1600/evie.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 102px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635605507917083026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcN65KUqb4AWZEAW7bTBMN0jCITOcQCcJHd_QLf5HiKZ89ZNouN7zH2LSnMa9482xqEQv4Z-u3xOuWvHaajhUokE4zR9msxbkG_e1oUcDcdTfzlF7vI5bhV-XAh8uMSQCDms4lwxOgXQE/s400/evie.jpg" /></a><br />We had a great trip and I think I could have spent a couple more weeks there!<br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/209/826F0A06CA6A3F25880884D380F1B81A.png" /></a></p><br /></div></div>the nelsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789336482460253743noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786340719565801459.post-32937999334010906912011-06-18T09:19:00.015-04:002011-06-18T10:41:59.965-04:00Curveball...<div align="center">On <a href="http://news.archcoal.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=107109&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1557665&highlight="><strong>May 2, 2011</strong> </a>it was announced that Arch Coal, Inc. was going to acquire International Coal Group, Inc. and unfortunately that meant most if not all (100 or so) ICG corporate employees would be out of a job...fast forward to <a href="http://news.archcoal.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=107109&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1574054&highlight="><strong>June 15, 2011</strong></a>...I am officially unemployed.

It all happened so fast and now the question is "what next"? Stay home with my girls? Find another job? Find a part-time job?

It's amazing how fast this year went by and even more amazing to see how much Ella has learned and grown in one year of school! She is reading books by herself (with little help) and she thinks that's pretty cool! One of her favorite things to do is sit and practice writing. She is all the time writing little stories and notes to give people. She got all "S" on her report card every time and she did very well in all of her diebels testing. She had a great year!! Now bring on First Grade!

Last Friday Ella had all the symptoms of a "bug," but it didn't go away in 24-48 hours like one would expect. I took her to the doctor on Tuesday and when I saw the look on the doctors face I knew it wasn't good. She was running a fever, dehydrated and had severe abdominal pain. The doctor sent us to the hospital for a STAT CT scan and chest xray. He wanted to make sure she didn't have appendicitis, which thankfully she didn't. She did however have a "nasty" pneumonia (to put it in the words of Dr. Goliath). So, she was admitted and we spent THREE nights in the hospital. My first question was "Did she get it from Evie?" and apparently she didn't. Pneumonia itself is not contagious... Go figure! We came home on Friday and she is doing much better and is allowed to go back to school tomorrow!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588950890769124114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMcFjDjmHrfdPY67a79sdBX60Qm_Hoe4ZyHn5RZRlGuvSXfid3WffMl02Jk1fZlhNeZwom_5yfzMlc_A6XZHATuhppLLCFhkwrUC9v3DE5FSBqG0hMiimdtW8RoqWlmrfdmLPElXIzzY/s400/photo+1.JPG" /> <br /><div align="center">Poor baby, she felt like CRAP!</div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588950899406862258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUjaTB2ib3uVaqiYSZxugx_2_YUhndwVtq6GshKrJeOxz_EKCcgITXeBcnNt7t3ygpfCIdYcc0VhBN7joQPoKiHgEF0QoFXs-yAoGHNpqIorrkOfP_DGmsIOdIg4xO70-jKn3d2Hck1Z8/s400/photo+4.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588950894392309970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeIZPz2-xCbdENv8CCH5CiYa1YltrrjuZrQ6NpFxL52g3jVNTIXjzYoDikG1FgIsX_9eyXrRfO7pRV_7jwsVvwE6_Z6HrVgVR4i4MTLEPO60xAU9qonUdJ2y6cAfwkrq6hIiISVBJIZTU/s400/photo+2.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgow5dkpr4R9YrVUqhyphenhyphenMBctqkbGh3Ho-NHpFyVwG4QBzMuKR0lFA7uKj5qko5lf39qT-qvSt_lNfvVPPMmbyzQiKm7qv9AjyEgPVCJYMsvihPaST-TYhkHsVAAuEupN7zDgkcWOa2auYAs/s1600/photo+5.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588950918444372722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgow5dkpr4R9YrVUqhyphenhyphenMBctqkbGh3Ho-NHpFyVwG4QBzMuKR0lFA7uKj5qko5lf39qT-qvSt_lNfvVPPMmbyzQiKm7qv9AjyEgPVCJYMsvihPaST-TYhkHsVAAuEupN7zDgkcWOa2auYAs/s400/photo+5.JPG" /></a> She had lots of visitors and got flowers and balloons that made her smile! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMd4X8cGKxlxpJZe9xL_DZAWoSpxwmr8WYx5pY6-k2zckbeDVSSpbP-XJI2EAXQ2F3MYuCYB9h1ACFwYwpVXdBexsn0mtVNA5NFyOGmNdqER9I2OvaU8AsS4ptz3WFl7R4GDZtXsDCh3w/s1600/photo+3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588950904491837330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMd4X8cGKxlxpJZe9xL_DZAWoSpxwmr8WYx5pY6-k2zckbeDVSSpbP-XJI2EAXQ2F3MYuCYB9h1ACFwYwpVXdBexsn0mtVNA5NFyOGmNdqER9I2OvaU8AsS4ptz3WFl7R4GDZtXsDCh3w/s400/photo+3.JPG" /></a>Starting to feel much better! <br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>My prayer is that I don't have an "Admitted (Part 3)"! <br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/209/826F0A06CA6A3F25880884D380F1B81A.png" /></a></p></div></div></div></div>the nelsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789336482460253743noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786340719565801459.post-411451865240784882011-03-16T09:13:00.002-04:002011-03-16T09:26:05.113-04:00Admitted<div align="center">Evie had been fighting a cold/cough for several weeks and the doctor had said we just had to let it "run it's course." I thought she was getting better, but last weekend she took a turn for the worse and we ended up taking her to the ER on Sunday to get her checked out. She had very rapid breathing, fever, vomiting, etc... The doctors immediately agreed that she needed to be seen and when they hooked her up to all the machines, her heart rate was over 200 and she was taking 90 breaths per minute! They determined that she had RSV <em><strong>and</strong></em> Pneumonia and ended up admitting her.... so we spent Sunday night in the hospital. My poor sweet girl was a trooper and thankfully we got to go home Monday evening.
