Crazy day and Peaceful Night (I hope)

Well today was my official last day off from work for maternity leave and boy was it a crazy one. First off, Christian's daycare was off today so I had both boys at home. This isn't so bad, but takes some getting used to. Christian has been coughing more and more. We really noticed it last night while he slept. Also, this morning when I woke him up he felt warm, not hot, just warm. I took his temp and he had a 99.0 temp, not a fever techinically, but still not the norm.

Then Archer seemed to have a stuffy nose too. I took him temp and it was 99.5.

So I call the Dr. office to see if we need to start giving Christian 2 treatments a day. The Dr. hasn't seen him since June so they tell us to come in. I call again about Archer and the Dr. says she can see both of them.

Since Christian wasn't feeling well, this meant lots of his favorite shows and movies during the day. Then when he went down for nap, he coughed the entire time.

As soon as we got to the Dr. office and she listened to his chest, she said he needed the fast acting meds. Hmm, glad I came in. So we are back to 2 treatments a day and now Christian gets to stay home with Daddy tomorrow.

Having to take both boys into the Dr. was quite a chore for me. I had my handsful to say the least.

Archer also has a cold. We are supposed to keep an eye on his temp and anything over 102 means a trip to the ER. OH FUN! Our favorite place. The Dr. called Archer's cold the 2nd child syndrom...meaning big brother brought home the cold from school.

I am hoping of a peaceful night because tomorrow is my 1st day back to work and Chris 1st day to stay home alone. He will have both boys too...that should be fun.
But because he stays home, that means he takes the night shift...which should mean a peaceful night for Mommy!!!
