last night was a night of zero sleep. what makes it really bad is that i took a tylenol pm. hello! that makes you drowsy. and evidently, that's all it does. it doesn't do anything for congestion, runny nose, or anything. so, even though i still felt stinky, i should've been able to sleep thanks to the drowsiness. but, my poor poor little boy has come down with something and literally cried all. night. long.
hunter's fever ranged from 101 - 102. all he wanted was to be comforted by me and be as close to me as possible. all while balling his eyes out in pain and getting maybe 3 hours of sleep little by little here and there throughout the wee hours of the night. it was so sad.
kelly and i didn't know what to do. hunter had never acted like this before, so we knew he was feeling just terrible. kelly said he felt like we needed to call our parents because they always know what to do. i thought, wait, we're the parents now and we're supposed to know what to do. ha. we're clueless. go to the er? call the doc? wait it out and go to the doc 1st thing in the a.m?
we waited it out and took hunter to the doc this morn. he has full blown "really bad" (according to the doc) double ear infections. poor little thing.
okay, enough complaining.
all of this reminds me that i am a mom... and sickness happens at the most inconvenient times - like the middle of the night - (not that it is ever convenient to get sick)... it is just a plain old fact of living life. i'm sure we'll be better in no time. hopefully.

So sorry you feel awful and that Hutner is sick..Try and get some rest. I'm praying for ya'll!
Prayers for feeling better. I was sick a couple of weeks ago, and with a child - it is even worse. Embrace your time to rest!
Aw I am so sorry ya'll are both sick!! Hope ya'll get some rest and start feeling better. Ugh, I have asthma as well and it always gets worse when I get a cold. Hope you have a better day!!!
Sorry you don't feel well. I hope you and Hunter get better so soon.
BLESS YOUR HEART!!! being pregnant and being sick is absolutely miserable... having a child sick too is just too too much. I'm so sorry and hope you feel better asap!
My hardest days as a mommy have been when my girls are sick. I always feel like there should be some kind of reward or badge that says...we survived the stomach flu, or ear infection, or etc. I hope you all are feeling better today and can get some rest.
Double ear infections! oh no! we were suppose to see dr vasko this morn...I cancelled even tho we are feeling much better I just think we need to stay resting for one more day! I hope yall feel better soon!
Oh my goodness, I hope you and lil' Hunter feel better soon! Emma came down with a 102 fever yesterday, too. So weird cause she's playing fine and slept well, just a little on the mopey side. It's so sad when they're not feeling good. Poor babies :-(
I hope you both feel better soon.
And I LOVE your reaction when Kelly wanted to call your parents and you said that you were the parents right now. Perfect!!!
oh man!! having a sick baby is the worst..they are so helpless! sophia had an ear infection a while back.. don't worry you'll get through this..couple rough nights! Being a mommy is tough work..but the one perk of having a sick baby is you usually have a cuddly baby..atleast with my sophia. :0) she's a snuggle bug to begin with but when she is sick she wants extra mama time. hope your little one feels better soon!!
i'm going to go read more of your posts.. because i can't get enough! oh nevermind..the husband is saying it's officially bed time haha. tomorrow i'll read more! hehe.
Carissa , so sorry to hear you and Hunter are sick. I felt so bad for both of you. I would have taken you both to ER. The Mom has to keep breathing,you were up all night anyway -right? It sounds like maybe you need an inhaler for your asthma or some mucinex to help loosen the mucus or maybe both. Did you go to the Dr. for yourself? I hope and pray you are much better tomorrow. Let me know.
Oh no! Weston had the same thing this weekend too. Isnt it so hard to know what to do sometimes? Its like Carson and I are always asking each other those same things..."should we do this or this...I dont know, what do you think. I dont know" Its hard! Hope you both get better very fast!
