Kalel Update

Well, Wednesday was Kalel's 6 month check-up and he now weighs 16lbs 14oz which is only 5oz more than his 4 month check-up but the doctor said since he is more active it is normal and he is still high on the charts in the 54th percentile. And for his height, he is 28inches! He is gonna be a tall boy in the 98th percentile! Everything checked out fine and the doctor said he is actually learning things a bit early for his age : )
He got his 6 month shots and ended with a fever for almost 2 days though! He had a fever from between 99 to 100.4 all night after his shots even after giving him tylenol he was up all night fussing because he didnt feel good and then yesterday he was pretty good during the day still had the fever though! Last night after giving him tylenol again at like 6pm and he still had a temp I called my mom. She said to make sure he had plenty of fluid and to give him a bath in luke warm water to cool him down. So I gave him the bath and it brought the temp back down to 99-something and I asked Ant's mom to bring some pedialite. I gave him that and he passed out. He woke back up at like 3am- the fever was gone! Thank God! But he was wide awake and didnt fall asleep until almost 5am. So, even though I was off the last few days I felt like I worked lol I was up all night with him both nights and went to bed at like 5am.

I love my family!

The past few days have been great! I have just been in a really good mood for a change, I was feeling really down and unlike myself few a few months it seemed! I have been thinking alot about my future! For myself and my family... I think we are really gonna start putting some money away and looking for a house to buy... I want to get settled into a place that is big enough for our family to grow! Even though it will definitely be a few years before we try for a little sister or little brother for Kalel I want to be ready for it 100%. I have also been giving alot of thought to going back to school, I m still debating over what I really want to do though, Im just not 100% sure that I want to stay with Nursing... Time will tell Hopefully this positive energy keeps flowing!

Ughh...

Sick all day yesterday! Felt a little better today, but Im so strung out on cold/flu meds its ridiculous! Sucks that I gotta work tonight! Hope I can get through this night, what i really need is another dose of medicine and my warm bed... well 7am will not come soon enough!

Last day off and sick!

My last day off before its off to the View and I woke up this morning with my tonsils swollen and have been sneezing and had a runny nose all day :( Thank God Kalel is in a good mood today! My wonderful husband is bringing me some medicine home when he gets off work.... Hopefully this goes away before I gotta work tomorrow night! So much for my plans of getting Kalel's play-room done today :(
