Sad little bear....

....poor bear!

It's been a crazy week.. sorry for being MIA but things seemed to be all over the place!

On Sunday, Jackson spiked a temp of 103.5 and was REALLY out of it. talk about one scared mama and daddy!! After a cool bath, tylenol and a call to the doctor we kept a close watch on the little one and he did alright through the night.. his fever didnt break until tuesday afternoon though... but even still you could tell he was out of sorts.. with a tiny cough, mama had an idea of what was coming...

fastforward to today (after LOTS of craziness in between!) and after a very restless night for the both of us - it was off to the doctors we went... sadly, mama's thoughts were confirmed when they said the little man has CROUP. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO the poor thing sounds like hes barking when he coughs, and then he cries because it hurts... (Croup is a viral infection of the vocal cords, voice box, and windpipe.) no wonder why he has barely had anything to eat all week - it probably KILLS.

so thats been our week -- mixed in with a few good things here and there like today...... we had an AWESOME visit with Jan - Lis and Rylan at the Beach.. It was HOT HOT HOT (poor very pregnant Lis do the end of this month was SO done with the heat!) but we had a great visit, it was beautiful there! Jan - thank you for such a wonderful time... we are SO happy we got to see you and hopefully we'll see you again in a few weeks!! Lis, thanks for reminding me why I don't want to get pregnant to have a baby in the Summer! hahaha.. Hang in there girl -- its almost time!!!!!!! :)

Alright.. of course I had to give you a few pictures of the pumpkin... it was a jammie day!!!!! don't ya love those days...

Look at that belly!!


Playing trucks and Thomas.. whats better than that?! (yes its a beach toy truck, so what!)


"What mom! I'm playing here!!!"


I wish you could hear him making his "Chooo- Choooo..." its so funny!!


Now any of you who know my little man, you KNOW he doesn't stop.. imagine how sad I was to see this face... still cute enough to pinch those cheeks though!!!


Can you believe he was LAYING down???? "Dennis the Menace" climbed up there all by himself and layed there for a good 5 minutes!!!!!!



Send us good thoughts that this Croup goes away soon... Speaking of - he's coughing and crying now... gotta run!!!

Hugs..

Oh no! Poor Jackson. I hope he feels better so soon. He is such a tough little guy- and I love his jammies!

Sage had croup once -- it was terrifying. Hang in there, mama and Jackson!
