A first for us. . .and hopefully a last!

Sophie had a fever Thursday night and it was worse Friday morning, so I took her to the doctor. She was pulling on her ear, but I wasn't that concerned. HAH! She has a double ear infection! Her first one and she had to do it all the way, I guess. We put her on meds because of her temp and she is already starting to feel better, thank heavens.
She has also decided to get almost all the rest of her teeth at the same time. It's fun to tip her upside down and look in her mouth. (I'll have to see if I can get a picture) Phillip found it mildly disgusting because one of them was a little bloody, I just think it's fascinating. And with the ears, the teeth don't seem to be that big of a deal to her, so I suppose we should be grateful for that.
One thing about her being sick is that she actually snuggles with me. She sat with me for over two hours yesterday and didn't move, that just shows how sick she is! She normally won't sit still for five minutes. Silver lining in everything!

Pictures!

Ella Mae

I HAVE A NEW NIECE!!! Ella Mae Culbertson was born on November 6, at 10:32am Florida time. She is 5 lbs 14 oz. and 18 inches long. Just itty-bitty! My mom made it to the hospital with 10 minutes to spare. I haven't seen pictures yet, but I hear she looks like a Smith, instead of a Culbertson like Aspen. As soon as they post pics on Sara's blog, I'll let you know so you can go check them out. This makes 10 great-grandkids for my grandparents (4 boys and 6 girls), and 6 grandkids for my parents (2 boys and 4 girls!) We need more boys!
