Five on Friday

What a miserable week this has been for this family! The perks of my husband being a teacher means that he brings home a lot of sickness. Im sure you can guess where this is all going....


{One}

Let me just preface right here....As a nursing mother and getting a severe cold, there might just be nothing worse. The only thing I have been told that I can take is lots of fluid, tylenol and rest. But seriously, how can one rest when they have a baby in the house??? Let me tell you, this week has been fun. Paisley had two Dr's appointments this week to figure out what viral infection she has, and lets not even go there about the sleep thing with her. On a positive note, Target Brand Afrin and Ricola's Extra Strength Cough Drops have been a godsend. I've hated nose drops in the past because they never work, and if there is one thing keeping me sane right now, it would be the $1.14 I spent to have my nose free and clear. They actually work! And while Halls cough drops are nasty, these Ricola's work like a charm! Atleast this didnt happen during Thanksgiving

TONIGHT!!! We have been waiting ever so patiently to see Hillsong in concert, and tonight is finally the night! I might feel yucky but nothing is holding me back from seeing these guys!! 


{Three}

I have yet to find the "perfect" First Christmas outfit for Paisley, so I am taking drastic measures and making her Christmas outfit this year....a TUTU!! I am really excited to get this project going and I can only imagine what a beauty she will be :)


{Four}

I LOVE doing the whole Black Friday thing, but seriously I am so disappointed that it begins at 6 pm THURSDAY NIGHT!! America, get real, and let people enjoy time with their families. It technically only happens several times a year when everyone is able to get together and visit. I will not be supporting any Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving. Doesnt matter that it may be $2 movies, this girl will be staying in and enjoying family time and having fun!

{Five}

I havent decided if we will be breaking the Christmas stuff out this weekend or on Black Friday when we normally do things, but here is what I am thinking for a centerpiece idea for the table. I have searched high and low this year for just the "right" centerpiece and I think this might just be our winner....


Happiest of weekends dear friends and Happy Thanksgiving! 
I will be taking next week off from blogging and will be back after Thanksgiving! Enjoy the time with your families :)

  1. It's definitely no fun being sick with a baby! I caught the flu when Brayden was 5 months old, nursing too, it was the WORST! Hope you and Paisley are feeling better soon, my poor Ella has been so sick for 2 weeks and we've been to the dr twice too, she also has some kind of viral infection now and has broken out into a full body rash! Yuck!

    Good luck on making her outfit, I'm sure it will turn out cute!!

  3. I feel your sickness pain… I have been struggling with the worst chest cough for about a week and a half now - caught from my beautiful babies, who thankfully got over their coughing through the night after a week. I honestly think having a cough is the worst, no matter the stage of life. However, this is my first awful cough while pregnant… and OH MY GOSH! This is the WORST! Between trying not to pee with every cough due to my body going through 2.5 pregnancies, holding my baby belly to protect myself from horrible ligament pain, and trying not to literally cough up a lung I am completely exhausted. Hope you guys get over this crud soon, too!

  4. Being sick while nursing is the WORST! I hope you feel better soon! Afrin helped me a lot to get through the worst colds. I was also told by an LC I worked with that allergy meds (even like claritan D) are safe for baby but can slow your milk supply. I did take that a few times when I was really congested and couldn't sleep and just didn't pump those days.

    1. It seriously is the WORST EVER!! Afrin was my lifesaver! I was told I could take Advil Sinus but it could affect my supply so I didnt end up taking anything. Maybe it was better in the end that way. I didnt think about allergy stuff but then again there is a risk :/ Thanks for the tips!
