Feeling better

Well we have had quit a week here in our house. It all started the day after thanksgiving while we were driving to my parents. Kevin began to not feel so well. We chalked it up to bad food from Wendy's but after being sick for over 12 hours straight, he headed to the hospital because he was getting dehydrated. Turns out he was pretty sick. After being admitted and staying for 48 hours, he was finally sent home. I, too, got sick that night, but mine unfortunately only lasted about 24 hours. Thank goodness we were at my parents so they could take care of our little man.



After being delayed a little, we finally returned to Columbus Tuesday afternoon. We had our fingers crossed that Jack would not get sick, however, on Thursday afternoon, Jack's teachers came to me and said he had a fever. Turns out it was 102. I took him home and called the doctor. They didn't seem too concerned and told me to give him Tylenol and as long as it came down, it was probably a virus. Well it did, so we weren't too worried. By Friday night his fever was gone, or so we thought. After his nap on Saturday, we took his temperature again, to find out it was back and 102.5. We decided it was time to go to urgent care to find out what was going on. Turns out, Jack had his first ear infection and it wasn't just one ear but both. The doctor gave us a prescription and told us that it should help. Jack seems to be much better despite the fact that he absolutely hates his medicine and it takes Kevin and I all of our power to get him to take it! We also discovered that Jack now has 2 teeth! The first one came in last Friday and tonight at dinner I noticed that the other one came through. So he now has his 2 bottom front teeth!



We have been busy getting ready for Christmas. We have about half of our shopping done! We have decided to not go too crazy on presents for Jack this year. We know that being his first Christmas, everyone else will go crazy, so we have decided to go pretty simple. One thing we did buy is a train set for under our Christmas tree. Jack loves to sit by it and watch it. He also likes to be the conductor and tries to drive it. It is so cute to watch him!



A few weeks ago we had his Christmas pictures taken by the same girl that took his newborn pictures. I am so happy with them. I don't want to share too many, but I wanted to let everyone see a few. So I leave you with some of my favorite pictures...
