Noelle asked to put socks on after her bath last night. I should have caught on. This is not normal behavior for a child who tears her socks off before every nap and highly prefers to never wear them in the house at all. But I was tired, and stuffy, and I didn't think anything of it. Until Noelle woke up screaming in the middle of the night and then clearly felt warm this morning. 101.7 degrees warm. Thank goodness she is a trooper and didn't really seem to care that she had a fever. Except for being cold she said she was fine. And she did dance around the room after breakfast to the Fresh Beat Band so can't be feeling that horrible. But sickness has struck again.
Actually, that is probably not true. Really someone has been sick in our house since about October 18th. Kellen is now on his 3rd major cold (and he hasn't even hit the 4 month mark yet!) Bryan can't speak he is so hoarse. And I am doing only slightly better than the rest of the bunch thanks to an afternoon to rest on Monday and the magical powers of breastfeeding. I am glad we haven't had anything major, but being super congested and struggling to breathe through your nose sucks. And not getting much sleep because your baby can't breathe well either doesn't really allow for recovery. Someday hopefully!
So Bryan is home with Noelle and it is again a case of the sick caring for the sicker. Although her temperature is already down thanks to the wonderful power of tylenol. Let's pray she has a fast and total recovery and that her little brother doesn't get this fever - 101.7 for an infant is a big deal!
We did have a great baptism weekend with friends and family despite our colds. We are working on downloading all the pictures and then will post!
