Our First Fever :-(

Last Thursday, Jack woke up from his nap with a fever for the very first time. He's had the fever off and on since, getting a small break on Sunday for about 12 hours. Friday night was teeeerrible, waking about every hour, wanting a bottle but not really taking it, crying a lot but still mostly asleep and unable to get comfy. I felt so bad for the little guy, so helpless. I was also reminded of the first nights home with him, I felt like I hadn't slept in days, and it was only one night! I'm pretty sure it's teething, as he's munching on EEEVERYTHING non stop, including his hands or mommy's arms haha. He's eating well, just giving us a hard time with bottles, but taking most of them. I talked to a nurse on Friday morning and she suggested giving it at least 3 days before bringing him in, as a temp below 103 is usually teething. He's had 103 a few times, and it's been 4 days now of off and on fevers, so I made an appt for him for this evening, so we'll see. Though, I'm sure they'll say there's nothing wrong with him. This appt is just as much for my peace of mind as it is for him! He's playing well and not running a fever so far today, and we're hitting the 4hr mark since the last meds, so we'll see. There's a St.Paddy's playdate on Wed that I really want to go to, a lot of mommies and babies will be there, so hopefully he can kick this fever so we can go!

We had a nice relaxing weekend, aside from this fever business. Saturday we went out for a nice dinner with some friends and their kids, Sunday Matt and his cousin and brother had a flag football scrimmage so Jack and I went and hung out with Christine and Rylie and when the boys got back we had a nice dinner. Despite what I thought were bad food choices, I've still managed to lose 3.5lbs since last Thursday. We've got a couple things going on this week during the evenings, but I hope to make it to the gym a few nights!

Over the weekend we took some cute pics, if you haven't already, check them out! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100131599331263.2299488.58200443&type=3

The weather is finally warming up and we're seeing some sunshine, so I hope to get outside more and take some good photos. I really like the way our camera looks on outside pictures, and we're running out of different places with natural lighting to take pictures indoors!

It's just about bottle and nap time for the little man, so I better get going. I did a lot of cleaning yesterday so I think I'll read a bit while he sleeps. The windows are open, I can smell the rain, and hear the birds chirping. Reading a book sounds perfect. I love this weather, even though we somehow lucked out and had a pretty mild (and definitely weird) winter, I'm ready for spring so we can start playing outside and going on long walks to the park! :-)
