Ok! I’m caught up on half-written blogs! Today and this evening have been a little crazy… after I got interrupted last night by Josiah, Analise woke up with a fever during the night. So she joined us in our bed, and Josiah was already there. It was a bit crowded. Finally, Josiah got bumped out to the swing around 4am, and left some room for the rest of us. Our 2 little kids take up more room than 2 full-grown adults. Brian and I were both hanging onto the edge of the bed. <\/p>\n
Analise has had a fever over 101 all day. She’s grudgingly taking tylenol that brings it down a little bit. She doesn’t seem to be in pain, so maybe it isn’t an ear infection, but I’m not sure what else could be causing it. She’s just lethargic and quiet. Josiah’s 6 month check-up is tomorrow, so it looks like I’ll be calling for a 2nd appt tomorrow morning. <\/p>\n
Tonight was comical. Brian’s working hard to get a final written for his 8am class tomorrow. Josiah had gone to bed at 7pm, and Analise went quietly to bed at 8. I was getting lots done and settling into my chair to catch up on blogging. At 10:30, I heard Analise crying. Josiah had woken up and was crying too. I found Analise drenched in sweat, with a sopping wet diaper. She took some tylenol for me, got some dry pajamas, and asked to go sleep in our bed. Brian was trying to quiet down Josiah, who needed to eat and get a dry diaper. Brian took Analise back to our bed as I took care of Josiah, and he found that our bed was sopping wet. He’d forgotten that Analise had had an "accident" during her nap, and he’d neglected to tell me or change the sheets. Darn. I got the bed changed, settled Analise into bed and laid down with her on one side and Josiah on the other to nurse him, while Brian went back to work. <\/p>\n
When Josiah was done eating, I picked him up and propped myself up in the bed to hold him as he fell asleep, planning on taking him back to his bed to leave us some room. I guess he’d eaten too much, and within a minute he threw up all over me. Thankfully, my pillow and the bed were spared. I hollered for Brian, who came and took Josiah while I got clean clothes. After Josiah was cleaned up, I settled back into bed with him and Analise. He dozed off and I moved him to the swing. Analise dozed and I could tell her fever had come down (from 101.5), so I moved her back to her bed. AHhhhh… Now I’m closing up the computer, and heading back to bed, all by myself. Hopefully, Brian’ll join me soon. Hopefully, my two little ones will sleep for a good solid couple hours… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
