The past 24 hours have been chaotic in the Edgar household. One of our babies got sick for the first time. I was really hoping to make it to the one year mark before that happened. A little breast milk has gone a long way with these two and for that I am grateful. I like to think that those first few weeks that I nursed them as a walking zombie is responsible for the impeccable health records they have had thus far.
Last night Jake had a very hard time settling into sleep and once he did he was up every two hours crying for 15 minutes or so. So the first thing I did this morning was take his temp. even though he didn't feel warm through the night. His little bum registered in at 101.4, not terribly high for a bum temperature but enough for me to take him to the dr.'s office ASAP. I arrived at 8 a.m. just a half hour after taking his temp and sure enough Jake made a liar out of Mommy. The nurse registered 99.8 on her thermometer. Don't you just love it when that happens?
The dr. came in, took a look, and everything checked out just fine. Just a low grade fever and a stuffy nose. Nothing a lot of TLC can't cure. So we made today a jammie and Sesame Street day. The boys lounged around, spent lots of time cuddling with Mommy and watching their favorite friend Elmo perform for them. I'm exhausted after only sleeping 3 hours last night, brings me back to the good ole' days when the babies would want to party all day and night while swigging back the bottles.

They sound like they were college kids 3 months ago or something. They should come hang at Auntie Sara's. We'll throw back some o.j. and maybe do a shot or two of pop. j/k
Hope Jakers feels better. Give them love for me. I'll be home this weekend. :)
