the ultimate test

Sorry, but I don't really have updates on our trip yet.  It's been really rough around here as we have a sick sick baby.  When we picked her up at the orphanage she had double ear infections oozing pus, and a sinus infection with a horrible gurgly cough.  Now that we're back, she's still fighting her infections, but on top of it has a ruptured ear drum and the chicken pox appeared yesterday.  She's also teething.  Needless to say, it hasn't been a bundle of joy around the Zeltins house.  As if being new parents wasn't hard enough, it seems we're being put to a bigger test.  Poor little Weredesh is so miserably itchy and just rubs at her ears as I know they hurt.  This has caused very restless sleep for her and little to none for mom and dad.  She's extremely irritable from lack of sleep and during the day the only thing that appeases her is to carry her and walk around the house - as soon as you stop moving she starts crying.  Today we put her in the car seat (she also likes this motion) and drove to Target to buy her a swing because mom and dad are both so exhausted we can't even see straight.  We put her in the swing this afternoon and she slept soundly for about 1/2 an hour.  I actually did a load of laundry!  Other than that, absolutely NOTHING is getting done around here and it just keeps piling up.  Wonder if we'll ever unpack our suitcases?  I don't mean to sound whiny, but we're weary...hopefully the next few days will find a happier baby - I'm eager to see our daughter's personality shine through when she's actually feeling well! 

On top of all that, I feel a sore throat coming on and Cory just asked me if we're out of Airborne....ugh.
