Ava, Zachary, Konrad, Mikey and Spencer on New Years Eve!
New Years Eve Hats!
We have had a very busy ten days. New years night we went to Matt and Amber's house and spent the night and we had a very nice time. The boys actually slept and the adults got in a few board games and conversation. The next morning we had breakfast together and went home. On New Years day, Mike and the boys went on an adventure to the mall with Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell and mommy stayed home for some rest. On Friday, Scott, Darcie and Jamison came to visit and it was great to see them and meet little Jamison for the first time. He really is quite adorable and getting so alert and aware of his surroundings. Darcie has to start back to work this week and I can imagine how hard that must be, especially since my start date is coming soon. We really enjoyed their visit and we were so thankful that they were willing to make the drive down to see us.
Now for the boys, over the past week the boys started getting their top teeth. Mikey has taken the lead with both the top left and the one next to it already popping through and the top right close behind, poor baby, three teeth at once! Konrad is working on getting the top left and top right and so is Zachary, but none of theirs have come through yet. They are grumpy and putting everything that they can get their hands on in their mouth. Then on Sunday night, Konrad got a high fever of 103 and we have been fighting it (and him) ever since. He won't lay down and wants to be held and when his fever spikes over 101 he just lays there and whines even when we are holding him. He is obviously very uncomfortable and of course the doctor says its a virus...but we are on day 3 of fever now and I am a bit skeptical. He is so sad, his voice is hoarse and his nose is running. We have been taking shifts at night, but we are both pretty fried and tired of having to hold him constantly day and night. We had avoided Mike and Zach being sick but last night Mikey's voice was hoarse and this morning he is just pitiful. He is crying crocodile tears and his voice is so hoarse and his nose is running and he spiked a fever of 101.8 already this morning. So sad. I knew we were in trouble because he slept 3 hours yesterday afternoon and 14 hours last night...and then he let me hold him and put his head on my shoulder and just sat there...this is extremely atypical Mikey behavior so I know he feels like crap. Zachary is showing signs of a runny nose but no hoarseness or fever yet...here is hoping that one of them doesn't get it because Zachary always has lung issues when he gets sick and I don't want that. I guess that I am glad that Mike is not working during this time, but we are getting in each others way and on each others nerves...three teething babies, two sick ones, an unemployed Daddy and no sleep...recipe for disaster I would say...here is hoping that we survive, lol.
