Daddy's Day Weekend, Doctor's Visit

Carter decided to plan two days with fun for him and his daddy. He didn't plan on being sick this weekend though. To start off the weekend, Carter made daddy coffee, (mommy helped of course) Then we went to Baja Fresh after Carter's nap. Chris loves that place, and it's not close by, so it's a real treat. We went grogery shopping where Carter got to sit in daddy's lap in the parking lot. During Carter's 2nd nap, Chris and I cleaned out the garage, and he mowed the lawn. More to come for tomorrow.

On Friday Chris met me at the doctor's office. Carter is 17.1lbs now. We have his actual 6 month appt on monday, for his well-baby visit. This just so happened to be on his 6 month birthday, but it was not for a very well baby at all. Carter got poked in the nose, and his temp taken, both of which you can see how he really felt. Once we got home from the doctor's office, he napped another 2 hours and then his temp just dropped. He went from being around 101-103 for 2 days, to 99. I was so happy, and he was back to his happy self by the time Chris got home from work. He laughed and played. Then this morning it was back up to 100, and he was a little fussy again, so we gave him more motrin, and he was okay again. We are just going to watch him one mroe day, to make sure he doesn't have a fever. It's been tough on me this weekend, because Carter has such a great schedule, and now he's napping whenever, so I don't know when to feed him, or put him to bed.....I don't like being thrown off. Speaking of things being different. Carter hasn't wanted to nurse as much today. I don't know if it's becuase he doens't feel good still, or if he's trying to tell me he's done breastfeeding. Tonight he ate Sweet Potatoes for the first time.....he LOVED them. Then he had his rice cereal, and he ate it, but he looked like, "Hey, where's the good stuff?" Then I tried to breastfeed him 2.5 hours later for bedtime, and he wanted NONE of it. He cried and arched his back...so I don't know if he was full, or just didn't want to breastfeed anymore. I hate not knowing what he wants and him being sick doens't help alone with no routine these last few days.

But at least he's getting better.

If y'all would, please keep our friends Ty & Kara and their new baby James in your prayers. James is 2 weeks old, and he has come down with a high fever as well, they are at Cook's Medical hospital in Fort Worth tonight, and most likly tomorrow as well. I know God will heal him, but pray for a quick recovery so they can go home. (He was also on a light bed for jaundice for 2-3 days too.)
