Sick Little Guy!

One of the worst things ever is when your baby is sick...and unfortunately my cute little guy has been sick for a week. It started Friday with a small fever of 101.4, throwing up and the runs. We stayed home all day Friday and Saturday and by the end of Saturday he seemed much better. We went to church Sunday. Monday night he started having blow outs and had two within one hour. Tuesday he threw up again and had his worst blowout ever!!! All over my couch. It was awful. Tuesday night he started to fever again. He woke up Wednesday a little better but by Wednesday night his fever was up to 104.7. He has literally been running a fever of 103 or higher ever since. My sweet Cooper has been on Tylenol every four hours for almost three days straight. We took him to the doctor Thursday and they said he as a bug causing the throw up and runs and he has an ear infection...SURPRISE, that is causing him to fever and also not letting his body get over the bug. Today has been his best day in a week though so I am hopeful it will be over soon. I hate seeing him so sick. It really does break my heart. I am so grateful for a husband who is a worthy priesthood holder and can give our little family blessings whenever we need. I believe in and have so much faith in the power of the priesthood. What an incredible blessing we have been given! Thanks sweetie for being exactly who you are! I love you more than words can express!

Baby Update

So, I went to my 30 week appointment last week and found out I am measuring 3 weeks early. Crazy! Our little guy is growing like crazy. My gestational diabetes came back normal so my doctor is going to have me get an ultrasound next week to see if it is the baby or fluid (my fluid two weeks prior was in the normal range). If it is the baby they will test my diabetes again to make sure I don't have it, and if it comes back normal again, I could be having this little guys sooner than expected. It is so weird to me because this pregnancy has been so different than my pregnancy with Cooper. I had low fluid with Cooper which was causing him to be grow restricted and I was induced with him 2 weeks early. He was 5 lbs 10 oz. It is weird to even think that this baby is the total opposite and I might be induced early because he is growing so fast.

I sure am blessed to be able to have my own children and love them both more than I can even express. I can't wait to hold my new little guy and can't get enough of Cooper.
