I got a call at work yesterday that my sweet Julianna was running a temperature of 102. I raced out of work to pick her up from daycare and took her to the doctor.
She currently weighs 23 pounds and is 33 inches tall. I was thinking she may have an ear infection since she got so many last winter but it ended up being strep throat. We immediately went to Wal-Mart to pick up her perscription, popcicles, and jello. Poor thing threw up all over the place- probably the 2nd time she's ever thrown up (besides the frequent spit up as an infant).
We went straight home, cuddled, and she drank a whole cup of juice. Josh and I had to do some teamwork to get her to take her medicine. About 15 minutes after she took it, we noticed that she had a red rash around her mouth. Immediately I assumed it was an allergic reaction to her medicine because the only other thing she had was apple juice- which she has all of the time. It was scary! We called the physician on call and they told us to give her Benedryl. Josh was gone about 20 minutes buying the Benedryl and by the time he got back, the rash around her was completely gone. I have no idea what it actually was but we gave her the Benedryl just in case. Poor thing was so exhausted- put her to bed at 7pm and Josh got her up at 7:30am this morning. The rest did her good because she's back to her old self today- complete change from yesterday! Temperature is normal and she's eating again. I am so thankful that she got better so fast!
Josh spent the day at home with her. Check out the fun hair design that he created for Julianna today:

It's a GIRL!!!
I am so happy to announce that Josh and I are expecting another baby girl! Today, the ultrasound tech was immediately able to identify the gender of our little one. She showed the "goods" proudly and was moving all over the place. Our sweet little girl will be Olivia Grace and we've already nicknamed her Livy. We are thrilled!

Anatomy Ultrasound 1
We went in today hoping to find out the gender of our baby but our baby had other plans. Baby decided to stay balled up the whole time! The technician couldn't even guess the gender. We couldn't get a good look at the spine either so the doctor wants us to come back on Friday to take another look. Hopefully we'll get a good look at the "goods" and his/her spine on Friday. The anticipation is driving me crazy!

Fun at the Park
One of Julianna's favorite things to do right now is to go the park. There is a toddler sized playground set at our local playground, only 5 minutes away from our house. She loves to swing and slide. When we get there she says, "weeeeee!!!"
Fall Photos
I just realized I haven't posted pictures from Julianna's fall photo session with her cousin, Clara. We took these pictures on a beautiful October day.
