Dr. Mom

Well...I finally have a few minutes to blog...I have basically been Doctor Mom since last week...Matthew had a cough/cold all of last week & then Jake started with a fever & a cough on Friday. As if that wasn't bad enough, Jake woke up Friday night at 11pm, so I handed him to Danny for a minute to go get a bottle & then it happened! Jake threw up all over the place (basically all over Danny). We cleaned him up & that started many days of sickness in our house.

Jake has just started feeling better today. His fever is now gone (finally!) and he actually ate some solid foods this morning. He has a slight appetite, but we're taking it very slowly. I am still trying to catch up with all of the laundry because I had to put the regular wash on hold...Every couple of hours for a few days I had a load of soiled wash to put in...sheets, towels, Jake's clothes, my clothes...It was a very messy couple of days to say the least, not to mention I have been exhausted! Yesterday Jake slept through the night, but then woke up for the day at 4:00am! Thanks goodness for Nick at Nite & TV Land - I got to watch Who's the Boss & Little House while he was sitting with me on the couch...Every time he'd fall asleep & I'd try to put him back in his bed, he'd wake up & cry. He basically just wanted me to hold him for the last few days. He was so sick it was so sad! I am so happy to see him kind of getting back to his usual self...

Well, that's about all that has been going on here...I promise I will try not to be lame with my blog & try to post at least something every other day...
