Our sweet Clara ~


You are not going to believe this dear friends.....
Our little Clara had a 101 degree temperature for her birthday party!!!
We didn't have a clue why, the tubes should help her ears but she
was struggling to swallow and I can only guess
that maybe it was strep throat....
UGGHHH!
Brent and Emily took her to the Urgent Care today and they
still can't pinpoint what it is ~ but did give her an antibiotic shot....

ANYWAY.....

She was such an angel....even with a fever!
Not one whimper and no crying at all...
I have to share a few photos because
that's just what I do!!!

All of the decorations came from Hobby Lobby's half-off Easter sale!!!
And what's so neat is that they can all be used
in her pretty bedroom after the party ~


We love our sweet baby!!!!


hugs and love,
Dawn

She is just precious, Dawn! I hope they can figure out what's wrong ~ maybe just a bug she can't shake. I hope she's feeling better soon. I have found out that our little package this Summer is going to be a girl. It will be fun to do things with her like I did with my daughter when she was little. {Already picked up a china tea set at Good Will this weekend!}.

Vee said...

Awwww, she is so darling. Saying a little prayer for quick healing so that your little angel can enjoy her presents. (Everything looks so beautifully decorated...completely charming.)

Debra@CommonGround said...

To have a temp she didn't show it. Still the sweet little lady all in her tutu, headband and sash! Hope the antibiotic kicks in soon and all's good with her ears.
Such sweet photos, Dawn, everything was decorated so so cute!

Dawn sweetie...
She is jsut precious, absolutely precious. I love her little tutu. It just fits her little personality to a "T".

Her crown oh so cute. That is a fabulous picture, and I love her big eyes.

The table looked so pretty, and she got lots of nice gifts. I would say even with a high fever the party was a "TOTAL SUCCESS".

Thanks for sharing sweetie. Country hugs...Sherry

Poor baby girl.
She looks just precious though.
My son had tube surgery 3 times.
He got ear infections with the first two sets, but by the third time I did that mommy hissy fit and demanded they take his tonsils and adenoids and he didn't have another ear infection again until he was 16 years old.
He has never had strept throat again.
I will say a prayer for sweet Clara. I hope she feels better quickly.

What a cutie patootie in all the sweet birthday things you made for her. Such a cute tutu! I hope the antibiotic did the trick. Where did she get the flowers hanging from the ceiling?

Bettyann said...

Oh Dawn, Clara is so"pinch her cheeks" cute...The cutie tutu made by nana is darling...Hope she is feeling better...strep throat...yuck..take care

The Cinnamon Stick said...

Oh Dawn...how sweet your little Clara is - maybe it is teething that is causing the problems! You know how they can hurt the swallowing and the ears - and the fever could be part of all that. (sad face)!!! The birthday decorations are so much fun and the "tutu".....priceless!! XO, Judy

Rustic Tarts said...

How beautiful everything looks.
Clara looks like a typical woman - very interested in those clothes that Mom is showing her!!

Ella said...

She is a doll; you wouldn't know she was sick! I am happy that she got some meds before the big event; should help her mend quickly! So, hard when they are sick! Lovely
decorations, looks like a wonderful day for a special girl~

The Joy of Nesting said...

Little Clara looks way to adorable in her little tutu Grnadma made!!! No advice on treatment or cures from this old nurse. Babies and todlers have a tendency to spike fevers for no rel good reason. Lots of times the baby doesn't act to sick just a bit lathargic when the fever is up. It's called (wait this is a really big medical term :)hehe) Fever of unknown origin. Though it's rather common for a wee one to spike temps for 2-3-4 days and then break out with a very fine pink rash on their trunks. As soon as the rash comes the fevers stop. It's a form of roseola. Babies are funny creatures, so fagile yet infinitely strong.Try not to worry so much dear friend. It's a good time to cuddle, rock, read faerie stories and drink Pedialyte (Clara) Tea (Grandma) :)

Take care sweet friend your little imp will be just fine :)
