My most favorite day so far...turned into a a hellacious one!

Saturday day went a little something like this...it was perfection!


Then...Knox didn't have such a good evening after our fun filled afternoon. The Knox we know that never cries was "fussy" and for him, that is out of the ordinary. And he also hadn't eaten well in 24 hours. So Chuck took his temp and it was 100.5. After a call to wonderful Dr. Wilburn - we were off to Children's Hospital of Atlanta at 10:30pm. The ER was nasty - filled with all sorts of sick kids...throwing up...wearing masks...cuddled up in the PJ's against their parents with their blankies. Thankfully, Chuck pretty much told them that we needed to wait in a more private area since we had a 7 week old. Our wish was granted and after over hour of waiting in our private room (still wearing masks!) we saw the dr.

Of course Knox didn't have a fever anymore and we opted to not to any bloodwork and to just go home. The joys of being a first time parent. However, they say NEVER to risk it with a baby still this new! Knox has had a cold this week and we also took his temp after he had been wearing his footed PJ's - they said this might have contributed to the fever. Oh well - healthy baby...but BOY has he been a cranky one since last night. We are ALL out of whack over at our house :).

I sang at church today so I only got about 4.5 hours sleep and off I went to VL for 5 hours...this is what I've been doing all afternoon. Snuggling with my two babies. Usually when Chuck takes sneaky pictures it wakes me up - today however, I was passed out! GREAT napping including GREAT drooling. I'll admit it - you know you sleep good when you drool :)!

I'm so glad Knox didn't have a fever at the ED... The first test they usually do for someone that small is a spinal tap... and that is no fun for anyone involved, especially parents. I'm sorry yall had to go to the hospital, but I am happy that everyone is ok!!
