SICK...

For the first time since my little man was born...he has a bad fever...and he is SICK....with capital letters....
It started last night...he is always a little clingy after Mathew gos home for the day...(the little boy I look after)
but last night, he wouldn't get off my lap. He lay there for two hours watching t.v....He was trying so hard to be sociable...chatting to me, and smiling at my youngest daughter....
but he cried when we put his pjs. on him...he must have been achy.

I checked his temp, and it was quite high... 38.6 which is 101 F.
I gave him tylenol, and waited for the temp to come down which it did fairly quickly
and then he played for a while.
But he was still really listless...
I put him to bed at 10pm, but by 1am, the poor little dude had a fever again...so
more tylenol...Nursed him for one whole hour...and tried to put him back to bed...
but no go.
I tried to bring him to bed with me, but he was miserable...and again, was trying to be polite, and kept chatting at me...
"oh...daddy...mommy....ow. nice. oh what's that?"
My hubby had to be up for work at 6am, so I went to the couch with little boy.
I sat up with my poor little furnace until 3:30 am...and then he fell asleep...and I watched him.
Finally at 6am, his fever broke...
but he is still really miserable today...and on tylenol every four hours...

Right now he is sleeping peacefully for probably the first time in 24 hours....

I hate when they are sick...I hope he feels better soon....
If he isn't any better tonight, we are going to have to visit the doctor...
There is too much going around right now... :(

COMMENTS LEFT ON YOU TUBE BY THE CAR SEAT NAZIS IN REGARDS TO OUR SON IN HIS CAR SEAT...(we deleted the rest.


PinkSander (4 days ago)

you do know the chest buckle for the carseat is suppost to be equel with her armpits right? If you were in an accident he could still very well fly out of his seat. Just thought you should know... If you don't believe me go to you local fire department and ask them how to properly strap a child in a safty seat. I hope you take my advice.

All that extra padding needs to be removed for him to be correctly restrained.



Ok...You wouldn't think that this video would elicit the kind of responses it did...but apparently EVERYONE on You Tube felt the need to tell us that our boy was improperly restrained in the car seat....They apparently missed the whole point which was that our son was days old...VERY TINY....barely fit in the car seat at all....and was screaming a lung out to tell us how much he hated it.....
(Apparently in giving us advice on how to restrain him....they also missed the date....
IT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO! He isn't even in that seat anymore...
To those who felt the need to give advice on You Tube....We do have Car Seat Clinics in Saskatchewan...I know we are heathens...but we do figure some stuff out...We are coming out of our igloos...we actually live in houses now...oh...did I mention it is-40 here....CHOICE. Leave car running for over half an hour and it still won't be warm enough for baby.....Let him die of exposure....OR......Over pad the car seat....for the very short trip.
And for all those parents of a new baby who are receiving advice they DON"T WANT and HAVEN'T asked for....WHEN WE NEED IT WE WILL ASK.




RANT DONE.


Now I am going to enjoy my son on BLOGGER where the people rock.

Maybe I'm in a sentimental mood today, but those pictures brought tears to my eyes. :)

I love the river story and I have one to add.

I keep all my passwords in a little notepad on my desk. One day I couldn't find it and with a sinking feeling in my stomach I remembered hearing something fall into the waste basket next to my desk the day before.

I had emptied the waste baskets and taken the trash out to the dumpster the night before. ACK!

I left a note for hubby telling him what I'd done. (He wakes up at 4:30am which is WAY too early for me.) Know what he did? Before he went to work that day he went climbing through the dumpster, looking for our trash.

He found my notepad. :)

I LOVE the pictures!!! You had me crying over the picture of your newborn.

As for a love story here is what I got -

My elderly father lived with us. We found out he was dying with cancer and my sweet wonderful husband would stay up at night and watch him so I could get some sleep after taking care of him during the day. My husband even helped bathe him and take care of his bodily functions so that my father would have some dignity and not have to have his daughter do it. This really proved to me that not only did my husband love me, but that he also loved my father.

Thanks for the stories guys...those were great!

Todays Thursday Thirteen will be-thirteen things I love about my husband...
What else could it be ...DUH...It IS Valentines Day.....

So here in no particular order .... it gos...

1. I love that my husband is obsessed over our little boy as I am....It has made this a very special time with our ne w little man....

2. On the same note, I love that family is so important to him....he also adores my grandson...an l0ves spending time with all of his family, al though we don't actually get a lot of free time...

3. I love that he is logical, where I tend to react emotionally sometimes. We balance each other out well...

4. I love that we both love music and most of the time it is the same kind... (When we met...at the time we both had something over 1000 CDs and tapes EACH!

5. I love that over the years Kendal has indulged me in my hobbies...(which are not cheap by the way...guitar and photography...)

6. I love that we like the same kinds of movies...it is never a fight to go watch something...

7. I love that we have the same sense of humor...We make each other laugh...He is always says when I crack a "smart one" -"That's why I married you..." (although I am pretty sure it isn't why....LOL)


8. I love that we are friends. It has never just been a "romantic" thing...and I believe that is what has helped us last over the years.

9. I love that we have the same ideas on the "heavy" issues....raising kids, discipline, beliefs, money.....we barely ever argue about stuff like that.

10. I love that he will help me clean the house....(who wouldn't love that??)

11. I love that we have the same life goals.

12. I love that we both love God, and want to do whatever possible to serve him....

and finally...13. I love him....for just being him.
