The Perfect Storm and Happy Easter

Last week presented another hard week for us. James went to the Doctors on Monday for his last shot of antibiotics. Only by the time we got there he had a fever and was presenting with some GI issues. The Doctor did some tests and confirmed that his white blood cell count was high so we were to see him on Tuesday if the fever did not go down. Tuesday presented even worse. The baby had 103 fever and was not eating. Off we went to Children's Hospital for some further testing. Luckily after all of the testing we were pretty certain that he only had a GI virus. So on top of ear infections, James was teething and has a GI virus. Fortunately, Thursday night his fever finally broke and by Friday he began eating again -- yeah to no longer feeding the baby with a syringe!

(Easter Sunday!)

After our long week of no sleep and dealing with a very cranky baby we ventured down to Connecticut for the Easter Weekend. Of course, James was still not himself -- still not sleeping, but we had a good weekend and James actually cut his First TOOTH! Its officially in. We were very excited. James had a lot of fun meeting his aunts and uncles and cousins too! Aunt Jan and Uncle Chris did a wonderful job pulling the whole family together for an Easter celebration. James also had fun seeing his grandparents and enjoyed taking walks by the water! James even did well at church, ultimately falling asleep during the sermon!

Now we are healthy, eating and on the mend. James is even beginning to sleep through the night again. Last night he slept from 7:45pm to 5:45pm with only a couple of peeps for his binki! Hopefully he will be back sleeping through the night by the end of the week!
