One of Those Weeks

Last week was one of those weeks were I really felt like a mom.  Shane came down with something nasty on Sunday- fever, cough, puking, etc.  On Monday Josh ended up taking him to the ER because his fever had gotten up to 105 after giving him Tylenol all day.  He didn't test positive for anything serious thankfully, it was just a nasty virus.    The saddest part was just watching him be so pathetic and not himself.  I took this picture after I asked him if he wanted to lay in my bed and he said, "No, I just want to play.  I'm going to go play." 

After 4 or 5 days of Tylenol and Motrin and a lot of time on the couch watching Cars 2 he finally kicked the fever and is doing much much better.  Marissa had a low grade fever and little cough but nothing like Shane's thank goodness!!  I guess breastmilk really does work wonders.  This week was exhausting but I also felt really happy to get to be their mom and be the one to take care of them when they need it most (and Josh was really awesome too.  It is very nice to have a doctor-in-training in the house- though maybe not because I'm pretty sure he brought this home to us from the hospital. )  In the midst of all this Josh had a birthday, and is thankfully very easy-going and doesn't like a big deal to be made of his birthday anyway.  And sometimes it is actually a good thing to have a gluten-free spouse, because it is like a celebration in itself whenever I make something or find something delicious that he can have, like these little cupcakes I found in a new little shop downtown.  Happy birthday babe!
