This Saturday, I was especially thankful for antibiotics. I left work on Wednesday afternoon feeling so terrible I don’t know how I even made it through the morning. I don’t get sick very often and I haven’t taken a sick day in over a year. I hate missing work, but I also wouldn’t want other to be exposed to what I have and in order to get better, I really needed to rest.
First it was a stomach virus that also made me feel like I was also hit by a bus (hot flashes, soreness, clammy hands, it was awful) and that was all followed by a sinus infection that kicked in Friday night, just as I was starting to feel like I was making progress in the stomach virus department. My GP doctor, who I haven’t seen in 2 years since I wasn’t sick before or during pregnancy, squeezed me in on Friday right before his office closed (so grateful) and I was able to get on amoxicillin.
I was prepared to come to terms with the fact that our weekend would be ruined since I was so useless. I was needing to rest a lot and I felt really awful and was in a lot of pain from the sinus pressure and continued to have stomach cramps. However, when I woke up this morning, it was like I was a new person. The terrible migraine from my sinus pressure was gone and my stomach no longer felt like it was being jabbed by sharp objects. Phew! I was feeling so guilty because my husband was doing 80% of Harper duty plus everything else around the house because I was so miserable and I felt bad that I didn’t get to interact with her a lot because I was feeling so crummy. So to wake up and feel almost back to normal again was a true blessing.
In my ongoing quest to save time, I order nearly everything we buy online. Sometimes though that means that sizes are wrong or the item doesn’t look as cute as it did online when it arrives. We headed to the Osh Kosh store to return some leggings I ordered that were way too small. Harper is five months old tomorrow and I ordered the nine month size leggings and she would have grown out of them in a week (and had I washed and dried them first, as I always do before she wears anything, they may not have fit at all). So size up on the brand’s leggings!
We ended up picking up some additional items from Osh Kosh because the entire store was 40% off and an additional 20% off of clearance.
My husband picked out the adorable navy blue onesie with red hearts. Can you tell I love navy blue?!
Next we went to Nordstrom and embarrassingly, after 6 years of living in Houston, I had no idea that Nordstrom had a third floor which has a—you guess it—baby section. I was cruising Harper around in her stroller in the baby section and when I held up a little purple sweater dress from Nordstrom’s own baby collection, she smiled and it was adorable so that was enough for me! I also got a cute little “xoxo” tee by the line “peek” a touch and feel soft baby book (a total must-have!) as well as a Sophie the giraffe teether (which clearly, she loves).
i love your style for her!
Omg, I'm pretty much dying over the kitty pj's. Too bad they don't come in adult sizes :). So glad you're feeling better.

I love how you always put her in those adorable little hair bows, they're just precious. And her coloring is just beautiful. Her hair color is absolutely lovely. 🙂
Glad you feel better. I got sick on Thursday but with just a cold. The littlest ones had a runny nose that started on Tursday and it looks like they passed their cold to me. It's hard being sick when there are little ones to take care of.
That cobalt blue skirt is adorable as are Harper's finds. It's so hard to not buy for girls. 😉
How about my 6 month old daughter not fitting in old navy 6-12 leggings anymore! She's wearing the toddler size! Now that's crazy! She's still fitting in the 6-12 from gap though ….
I love what you found at osh kosh! There's one close to my house but I've never been but now I'm just going to have to!
And Sophia has that same headband! It's so adorable!

Life with Baby Sophia
It is so hard to be sick when you are a mom. You can't sit in bed and watch tv for days. Your husband sounds very supportive. My youngest is 3 and I recall that when they are babies it's impossible to wear flats because you are constantly bending over and picking them up. Once they start walking and putting on their own shoes you kind of go back to heels, or whatever you feel like.
Happy 5 months to Harper today!! Time sure is flying!!
Glad to hear you're feeling better! Harper is adorable, I love all the little hair bows you put on her. Love your style too!
So glad you are feeling better! Osh Gosh tends to run a bit small in general IMO, and I always size up in leggings because I figure they are stretchy and I don't mind if they are a bit loose in the beginning if I can get more use out of them. Plus, my daughter is reaally tall so she needs the lenght. I do love all your choices, especially that grey sweater! And of course Harper looks adorable, as usual. I just can't get over her coloring- so beautiful!
I'm happy you are feeling better Veronika! Being sick is the worst, and I can't imagine it with a baby to take care of! Harper looks adorable as always 🙂
The blue bow skirt is now on my wishlist! I think I need it! Your picks are always spot on to my style.
Glad to know you feel better. The outfits are so adorable. Loved them. Happy 5th month bday !
