Sickness Continued + All 4 Molars for Luke

I understand now how hard it is for a mommy to watch a sick baby. Luke got really miserable yesterday. Crying, whiny and wanting held constantly. He had a fever even being on Motrin. I was concerned and called the doc on call. We did get it down to 101 by taking clothes off and wiping him down with a washcloth. The doc said if it gets to 105 or 6 to call him back or if he's still hanging onto the fever by Monday to bring him in again. Thank goodness for applesauce. It's the biggest hot right now with both Luke and Taylor. Nick and I prayed over Luke last night...I was concerned his fever would get worse over night. After the Motrin was up in Luke's system, we gave him Tylenol and he got MUCH better. It brought his fever down. Wondering if it works better for him. Both Luke and Taylor were up a lot last night again. I was up probably a total of 10 times between them. I'd go in, they'd be crying and standing....I'd calm them down, check for fever, give them more Tylenol if it was time and lay them back down. I noticed today that Luke is getting ALL FOUR MOLARS at once! No wonder the poor guy is miserable. I'm exhausted. So ready for them to feel better. I miss church. I'm so glad they are better fever wise today. Thank you Lord. Taylor is blowing snot bubbles today which is yummy....but I'd much rather than then the fevers. I also noticed the injection area from her shots is red and swollen. I'll call the doc about that Monday if it doesn't look better. I don't think there's anything they or I can do for that. We'll see. Praying things improve from here on out. :)

Still Sick...But Still Precious

Took LT back to the docs today after another sleepless night and fevers. Turns out Taylor now also has an ear infection so she's on antibiotic. She'll be happy about this because she was NOT happy about Luke getting the yummy pink stuff and not her. One day when I was giving it to him she was "MOOOOOORRRROOOORRRRRRREEEE" ing and PEEEEEEEEEEZZZZING and when she didn't get any she threw herself to the floor screaming. So she's excited she gets some now too. {sigh} ((Lord have mercy)) Anyhow...Luke's pink eye hasn't cleared up with the antibiotic so now he's also getting eye drops. You'd seriously think you're trying to kill them, they way they act about them. I also picked up some Motrin which the doc said should knock them out for 6-8hrs. Can I get an AMEN? Mommy seriously needs sleep. It's been a LONG 2-1/2 weeks.

On a lighter note......how adorable is it that Taylor has her hands crossed tonight when I walk in the dining room with dinner and she says, "LET'S PRAY!"

In a book they have it says......"When you pray God will listen" and their is a picture of a girl and dolls praying. Luke and Taylor were looking at the book on their own without me reading it aloud (kinda sharing for a second) and when they got to that page, I saw out of the corner of my eye that they dropped the book...and looked at each other, I look over and they both had their hands folded to pray and had big cheesy smiles on their faces.

I also glanced over yesterday and saw Luke laying his head on Taylor's belly and her petting his hair. {Then he started to hit her, she screamed...but it was cute for a few seconds}

+ Ear infection

No wonder Luke screamed all night. He also has an ear infection. Boys been hugging on me all day and WON'T nap. :(

Pink Eye is winning :( 6 outta 8 eyes...

For 2 weeks LT have had a cold...1 week ago Taylor got pink eye in both eyes, noticed it at the docs for their vaccines and flu shot. Now Luke and I have pink eye, Luke's cold is worse...no sleep last night. Praying this ick gets outta this house soon ad that Nick doesn't get it. He has the flu/cold with us but he certainly doesn't need the pink eye.....put Luke to bed...spending some one on one with my girl and covered in laundry. Taking them back to the doc this afternoon and hoping the doc will just call something in for me without seeing me. exhausted.

Typical

This is a typical scene around here when Daddy gets home.

Somersaults ...

...for everyone

Ticklish boy

Couch

Loving on his sissy.

They LOVE sitting on the couch.

Luke's always gotta touch her with his feet. She'll love that as she gets older. lol

Teaching them to get down safely and hopefully w/o injury. They loved this game. Gave us a workout. Up, down, up, down.

She clapped for herself every time. lol
