Poor little baby!

Our Sweet little Sarah has been sick for the past week! Last Sunday we were at John's parent's house and she was incredibly fussy.

I knew something was wrong...just not sure what. We tried feeding her and putting her to sleep...I tried to comfort her,
Grandma Moss
tried to comfort her,
Aunt Michele tried to comfort her...nothing worked.
Once we got home I fed her and put her in her crib. On a normal evening we have our routine down and she goes right to bed. Not that night. She fought sleeping for at least an hour! We sang to her, touched her face, held her pacifier in her mouth...then as a last resort I put her lamb by her face. Instantly, she stopped crying and fell right to sleep. She loves soft stuff on her face! So now, that is her new thing. She loves sleeping with her
Little Lambie
.
Yes, she does try to chew on it sometimes...but it's so small that it won't smother her.

I thought she was all better yesterday, but she got a fever last night and that finally broke at 11:00pm. It came back this morning, but the Dr. seems to think she's fine and it's just a little bug. This has been going on for over a week!

It's hard to believe that she is 5 months old now! We started signing paperwork with the lawyer last week for our finalization! Yeah!! Looks like we will be going to court the
first or second week of September.
WHICH MEANS we are shooting for Sept. 20th as our sealing date and Sept. 21st as her blessing date.
WOOHOOOO! We are so excited!

She has been "ours" since they day we brought her home, soon it will be official.

Sick babies are the worst. I was thinking that babies and kids shouldn't be allowed to get any kind of sick- ever! Congrats on the finalization! I'm so happy for you and your family! :)
