Ellie got pretty sick and raspy on Tuesday evening. John and I thought it was just her losing her voice. She has started to yell and scream for the fun of it, she thinks it's very funny! Nanny and Papaw told John it's a payback because he did the same thing when he was little. Anyways she had a fever on Tuesday night before bed, she couldn't sleep at all either Tuesday night. She kept coughing through the night and running a high fever. I called her doctor first thing Wednesday morning and we got in at 10:30. She ended up having the start of the Croup! She got a pill to take and she's feeling great today. We were very scared because we knew if she wasn't feeling better by tomorrow she would of been hospitalized. So I was very happy when she got a good nights rest last night and woke up like herself today! She still has a little cough but nothing compared to yesterday!

Ellie Raye this morning, feeling so much better!

Raye watching Yo Gabba Gabbas new BABY episode!

Raye

She loves her new Dora chair, MawMaw and PawPaw bought it for her as a "sick gift!" They don't spoil her at all!

Raye played in her sandbox for an hour this evening! She was having a really good time so I just let her play.

I got all the weeding done out behind and on the side of the house while she played. She did help me a little, she's such a big helper!

Having a blast!

Daddy and Raye before bed this evening. After her bath we parted her hair down the middle and blowed it dry to the sides. She has such big girl hair! We even use kids Paul Mitchell shampoo, she is my daughter!

She wanted her "BABA," she's not going to be getting anymore bottles at bed time starting next week. I think she will do perfectly fine with it. She has adjusted well to her sippy cup with milk during the day.

Ellie went and spent the afternoon with MawMaw and PawPaw while I went to the doctor, got my hair done and ran some errands. She got to play with her big wheel and swim. She had a good time! Their are some pictures I sent from my phone my Dad sent me if you scroll down.

Brody's heart rate was 147 today. He's doing great and very active. I am measuring a week and a half ahead now, last time it was just a week. Doctor said he's gonna be a big guy! :) I found out today that I have early onset preclampsia. I knew this was a possibility at the beginning due to my thyroid. We are just hoping and praying things continue to go okay for Brody and I! The only symptoms I really have right now are headaches and being achy. I have also lost 8lbs since my last visit, how is that possible? I feel like I am eating nonstop! God has taken very good care of Brody and I so far! Thank you to everyone for your prayers so far and please continue to do so! I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks and have another ultra sound done with the tech in 3 weeks as well! We may also be having an ultra sound done at St.Vincent's in Indy just to do an in depth check on Brody.

We came home this afternoon and Ellie saw a FROG! This was a pretty big deal to her. She really wanted to pick it up. I told her that we needed to leave it alone and not scare it, we just looked.

Here's our frog. Please excuse my broken flower pot, my favorite dog(Holland) knocked it down! I can't find another to match my other 3 out front!

Raye waving with chalk in her hand. She waves at every car that goes by when we are outside! So sweet!

She's playing with Garth!

She didn't want her picture taken here.

Can you believe our big girl is 15 months old today!?!? She enjoys coloring! I found a Care Bear coloring book at the Dollar Tree for her, she loves it!

She LOVES books! She's doing so good at identifying things in them too. She's such a smart girl!

Bet you can't guess, she smacked Lola for getting to close to her stuff!

Mmmmmm, Daddy made homemade pizza last night for dinner. Ellie enjoyed 3 pieces of the special cheese pizza Daddy made her! :)

On her bike at pawpaws!

She spotted the horse's and wanted to go see them. We are going to have to get some carrots and apples to feed them!

Daddy had to carry her back to the house, she didn't want to come.

Raye playing fetch with Holland. He knocked her into the french door this morning and she busted her lip! :(  She was so mad at him she smacked and yelled at him before she realized she was hurt. Her little lip bleed so we got a wet rag and ice pack on it. She's fine now.

Ellie Raye made her 1st craft in junior church yesterday! Such a big girl! She made several new friends last week at VBS. When John and I took her to the nursery she walked right back to the room. She went right to the 18 month and up side and started playing with her friends.

Nanny and Raye

Raye on our way to Nanny and Papaw's for lunch. Isn't her dress adorable?! Aunt Casey did a good job picking this dress out for Ellie!

Raye went to her 1st race!  Uncle R.J. rented out Mt.Lawn for the races, we thought we'd give it a shot and take her. She did great, she is a race fan! Like MawMaw said it's in her blood!

Maybe she can be Daddies new Brickyard buddy!

Raye and Daddy at the races.

HOTTIE!

Silly Girl!
