Sick of being sick

Does having a baby do a number to your immune system or something?  I swear, since I had Violet I have gotten sick so many times I can't even count.  I used to get colds maybe once a year or so.  Maybe since I am still nursing her I am giving her all my antibodies or something?  I know babies that go to daycare centers get sick much more often than if they were at home (toughens them up!), but it is like she picks up everything and brings it home directly to me.  I don't know, but my gosh, I am sick of being sick! 

Last Wednesday I came down with a sore throat that quickly turned into a fever by late afternoon.  Stayed home Thursday, then Friday realized that I had pink eye!  What am I, five years old?  Called Kaiser and they were able to call in a prescription for me last minute (an hour before they closed for the weekend).  As soon as Chris came home with my eye drops my ear popped and that was it.  Talk about pain.  Stupid ear infections.  Saturday morning I was bawling, the pain was so unbearable.  I ended up going into the Kaiser after hours clinic and sure enough, the doctor confirmed that I have an ear infection.

What else am I going to come down with??  At least it is just me, Violet seems fine.  I would much rather have the ear infection!  At least Violet did get to see her Gigi, Papa, Lyla and Auntie on Saturday while I was at the clinic.  Here is a pic of the girls:

In other news, Violet made some progress with tummy time over the weekend.  She finally rolled over, from tummy to back, on Friday.  She has always hated tummy time, she would bury her head in her arms and just start pouting right away when you'd put her on her tummy.  Lately she has gotten better though and will actually play for a while before she gets mad.  She would come so close to rolling over, but she would catch herself and correct it before she went over.  So I gave her a little push.  After the first time I helped her, I rolled her back over and she did it on her own like 5 times in a row!  Subsequent tummy times the rest of the weekend also proved successful!  Now I had better get crackin' on babyproofing the house!
