Amoxicillin Panini

I LOVE my new panini grill. My mom got it for Dave and me for Christmas and I finally took it out of the box yesterday. Tonight I made some pretty tasty paninis: italian bread, garlic sautéed baby asparagus, genoa salami, and mozzarella cheese. All those days of watching Everday Italian on the Food Network came in handy because I remembered to brush the bread with extra virgin olive oil, and voila, we have some pretty, golden toasted bread. Next time, I'm going to add more asparagus.

Update on BB: Kid had a tough day. We went to see Dr. Chang this morning and we were there for almost 2 hours. She did a urine culture and I took BB to the hospital to get blood tests done "STAT." It was so excruciating to watch the whole ordeal as a mom (it took awhile for them to find a vein and BB screamed the entire time). In a nutshell, BB has some sort of infection and we might have to see the doctor again tomorrow if her fever persists. For now, we're swimming in amoxicillin and Motrin drops. I'm not going to sleep well until this is all over.

Longest. Day. EVER.

I'm just going to say hi for a bit. The past couple days have been crazy -- from being sick (and not knowing why), to taking care of BB by myself, to driving ALL over New England so that EVERY relative could see her first Thanksgiving.

Next year, we are going to choose ONE place to go to. While I enjoyed seeing everyone, we drove so much (in the rain) and were out for a whole twelve hours. I don't think I can do it again.

Thinking about going to my mom's for the weekend (I was planning to go next week for birthdays anyway) so she can help me take care of BB. I desperately need some sleep on my own time and not on BB's. My whole body is aching and I feel like mush. Mush can't take care of a VERY mobile baby. In short, I want my mommmmyyyyyy! (I'm still her baby and I don't care what anyone has to say about that!)

I didn't take any pictures, which makes me sad, but my brother and some other relatives took a bunch so when I get those I will post them. BB wore the cutest little outfit!

Gotta go -- I'm feeling like a rickety old woman right now. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day!
