Staying Busy

We have been staying busy with two kids at home, but haven't done anything too special. We have enjoyed staying home and resting as much as possible. Last week we did have two different play dates come over and play with Laney. Laney had a great time and I was so proud of how she has been interacting with her peers. She shared with them so well (this hasn't always been this way) and it makes me so proud to see her becoming such a wonderful young lady. However, I am currently reading a book on toddler behavior, because WOW it can be dramatic. :)

Jordan had an overtime shift last week and left me home alone with both the kids for the first time. I was woken up to BOTH kids crying at the same time. This NEVER happens. Laney doesn't ever cry when she wakes up. So I sat in her bed with her and fed Carson at the same time. After he was fed and changed I sat him down and changed Laney. I realized she had a fever, which at the time was 100.8. The rest of the day was SUPER busy, but easier than I expected. By the end of the day Laney's fever got up to 102.7 while she was on a Tylenol/Motrin rotation and she was REALLY lethargic. She would not eat, drink, or do anything. She looked so sick, I could not believe how bad she looked. I was really stressed out trying to juggled both kids all day without spreading germs... I am pretty sure I sanitized my hands every 3 minutes. When Jordan finally arrived home from work he saw Laney and was shocked at how horrible she looked. As soon as I was able to give Carson his next feeding, Laney and I ran to Urgent Care which is about 2 minutes from our house. I was so worried something was seriously wrong with Laney. I had never seen her behave this way and she kept saying "owie". Well, she ended up having an ear infection. I was sad for her, but relieved it was something Carson could not catch.

The next day Laney bounced back pretty good. However, on Sunday morning Laney and I woke up with NASTY colds. The evenings were miserable for me, and it was so hard to not kiss all over Carson. So far, Jordan and Carson have stayed healthy and Laney and I are on the mend. Praise the Lord! We started to get cabin fever a bit, because we didn't want to travel in the car together as Laney and I were sneezing so much we didn't want Carson to breath in all our germs :)
