Motherhood craziness

Mothers always worry. I, however, was a worrier before I became a mother. I actually calmed down after I had Krystian. He was such an easy baby; I didn't have to worry. Aydyn, however, has brought back my worrierness. I noticed on Thursday that Aydyn had a rash on his legs. He also spent all of Thursday sleeping except for when it was time to eat. But when we fed him, he would scream his head off. (Needless to say, I was freaking out!) On Friday, he seemed normal, but the rash had not gone away. We took Aydyn to the doctor just to get it checked. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about. It was just something he came in contact with in his environment. Okay, that's good, right?!

Fast forward to Saturday morning, Aydyn was not feeling well. I noticed that he felt warm so I took his temperature. At 7:30 am, it was 101.3. I gave him tylenol, and an hour later it was 101.2. I was freaking out, yet again. I tried rocking him in his room. ** Side Note -- I was also trying to watch Krystian at the same time. Jake helped Krystian bring his cars into Aydyn's room. I told Krystian to bring in his fruit loops and his milk, but bring them one at a time. Well, Krystian will be a smarta** when he grows up. Because, Krystian grabbed one fruit loop out of his the bowl. Jake brought in the rest. This made me laugh so hard that I woke Aydyn up.** So anyway, when Aydyn's fever wouldn't go down, I called the doctor's office again. They told me to bring him because he was so small with the fever. I dropped Krystian off at my in-laws & took Aydyn to the doctor.

At the doctor's office, we saw a wonderful woman, but I got the pee scared out of me. She told me that it was a virus, but she didn't think he should be in the hospital. WHAT HOSPITAL??? I was alone with my 3 month old, and I was scared out of my mind. She wanted to go get some lab work done just to be on the safe side and we would go from there. So I proceed across the street to the hospital. The following was the most painful part of my life since becoming a mother: I had to then hold my little baby boy down while they drew blood. I thought shots were bad, but they are over a LOT sooner than when blood is drawn. I kept my composure until I was walking back to my car. I lost it. I cried. The results came back quickly. I only had to wait about 2 hours. The doctor called and said everything looked normal on his labs. If anything came up, just have the answering service at the office page her. I did have to call her. Aydyn wasn't taking any formula or pedialyte. Later, we discovered it was because he was constipated.

Today, Sunday, Aydyn is so much better. He drank only pedialyte all night, but actually took some formula for Jake. God is good and kept my baby safe! Motherhood is crazy, but I love it!

Surprises!

So I have been reading "The Love Dare." Today I completed the 3rd dare, which is to buy your spouse something that he/she wants. I had to go to Wal-mart :( anyway so I bought Jake the simpliest of gifts, a Mountain Dew (his favorite soda) and a card. Neither of which cost very much, but I knew he would at least appreciate the Dew. We only have Coke & Sprite in the house. I wrote a message in the card and put both in the fridge for him to find. I thought it would be more special that way.

He didn't thank me or even give me a kiss when he found them. However, I texted him after he had gone to work, and he told me to pick out a movie to go see. He would handle the babysitter. He said that he thinks we need it. I think we need it too, but it wasn't the response I was expecting.

I love surprises! I got a surprise for my surprise! :)
