Again only slept for 25 minutes on the way to OKC. BUT, when we stopped in Blackwell because he was fussy, I took his temp and it was 104 degrees. No WONDER the poor kid had been irritated all morning. After a few phone calls, we determined that it was probably a virus and headed on to OKC.
It scared me…he’s never had a fever that high.
A year ago today, I went to the Dr. and she told me that I was no where near ready to deliver. There was nothing going on. Nada. Nilch.
I was not pleased about it, but what can you do? I couldn’t force the kid to make an appearance. So, I cried about it and went on with my day. Even went to Aaron’s Church Reunion for dinner. I was uncomfortable and pretty much pissed off. But, I did have a pretty good piece of lemon pie!
A year later and my, how things have changed. I am in OKC with my sister - who is uncomfortable and pretty much pissed off about being couch-ridden. But she looks so cute!
And Liam is feeling pretty crappy too. He has a fever of 104. I hope he doesn’t have to spend his birthday sick.
The joys of motherhood never cease.
Went to Mac to head to OKC tomorrow. Only slept 25 minutes in the car! But, took a nap later on in the day to make up for it. Went to Grammy with open arms. She was afraid he wouldn’t remember her.
Liam and I left this morning for Big Mac from which we will leave tomorrow morning to go to OKC to spend the week with my couch-ridden sister. It’s a lot of driving.
He usually does really well in the car and generally sleeps most of the three-hour drive. Not today. He slept about 25 minutes and is now upstairs in the crib crying on and off. He is not one to adjust easily to new environments. But, we’re here and he’ll sleep sometime, I suppose.
Speaking of his crappy sleep patters, he’s taken to getting up twice in the night to nurse again and it’s a little annoying. The kid turns one on Wednesday. He SHOULD be sleeping through the night. If not SLEEPING through the night, he should be able to make it through the night without a two breaks for milk, minus cookies. (I’d like to eat cookies in the middle of the night.)
Anyway, for the last few days I have felt that I’ve just been waiting to get to OKC to see my sis. There’s just something about actually seeing her and knowing that she’s ok vs. having her tell me she’s ok over the phone. I knew that she didn’t need me there…she’s had people around, but I just can’t wait to see her. I’m so glad that I’m in a position that I can go and stay. Aaron has been great about the whole thing. He is not going to get to see L on his birthday and that makes us both sad, but he wanted me to go be with Heath. He’s a pretty good guy.
I am kind of rambling on, but that is how I’ve felt the last few days. I’ve been a little frazzled trying to get everything done so that I could leave. We’ve had to rearrange Liam’s birthday party in McPherson. It is postponed indefinitely. I don’t really mind and it’s not like he’s even going to notice. We won’t be able to do it until Ethan arrives, so it will probably be sometime in September.
Good for him…a change of birthday his first year. I was 27 when I changed mine the first time. Who knows what this may mean down the road?
However, we will have a mini-celebration on his actual birthday. So, now he will have FOUR first birthday parties. What a lucky kid. He may even beat me. For my 30th, I think we went out to lunch/dinner 3 or 4 times. I’m sure Aaron will be able to tell us.
Ok, I have nothing great to say today…just that I’m glad I’m halfway to OKC.
Will say something that is sounding more like “Daddy” when prompted. L spent the day with AJ so that I could get a bunch of stuff accomplished. A even changed a poopy diaper.
He has started looking at books on his own.
Guess who's coming to dinner....
And don't you dare show up without Cheddar Bunnies.
