Okay you other moms, grandmothers or people that know more about these pesky things....do you think this is a fever blister?! I am sure it is, it's just that we are in denial. Steven and I have both been lucky enough to never have one, so when Brooke woke up this morning with what appears to be a fever blister I was quite shocked! I have always associated them with not feeling well, hence the name fever blister....but, she's been fine and as you can tell by the second picture is as ornery as ever!! AND to be realistic, what are our options.....either it's a fever blister or somehow she managed to smack her lip and it swell up over night without waking her up.....doubtful. I will face the facts and pray that it doesn't happen often, nor hurt too bady!
Happy Friday everyone! Tomorrow the plan is for the 'farmers' to FINISH up stripping cotton for this season. I am almost as excited as they are! Excited that they will be done, excited that we will have Steven home more and excited that we can get Christmas decorating done and start driving Brooke crazy by telling her, "No, it's not Christmas yet."
*Addition* I did my research....and called our nurse (yes I am one of THOSE moms). A fever blister is a viral infection, so contrary to popular belief they cannot be passed on by kissing (which was Steven's first question: "who's she been kissing on?"), nor are they hereditary.....they are just as any other viral infection where some people are more susceptible to them than others. My poor baby, I hope it doesn't hurt!

Yes ma'am. Kieler gets them very often. He can even tell us right before he gets one that he's about to get one. The pedi told me that some kids just get them. I have never had one either. We keep Abreva in our medicine cabinet at all times. It is a little pricey, but the stuff works wonders!! Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend!!!
