2.15.12 Visiting Jacob! (Plus a little 'fun' from today)

On Wednesday the 15th after Bible Study, the kids and I went over to visit Jacob...and Krista & Katie :) We picked up Chick-fil-a and headed over. Leah LOVES her little cousin. She just wanted to play with him. Unfortunately, Jacob has RSV (poor little guy!) He's so little to be struggling with sickness already! So we tried to keep the other kids away from him (unfortunately, I didn't watch close enough, and little miss 'get into everything' came marching around the corner sucking on his pacifier. We are paying the price for that now...)

'Don't touch him Leah!' Can you just hear her thinking 'Maybe just ONE finger'...

Not sure why the only pictures I got of him were in his car seat...he's SUCH a cutie pie!

After trying to play with Jacob, Leah was off to play on the slide

and Eli and Katie played together.

I might have to get Leah a slide. She loved playing on it, and played there most of the time.

And then she went back to harassing her cousin.

It was a nice afternoon. Thankfully Jacob and mommy (who is also fighting an infection) are doing better. SO thankful Jacob did not end up in the hospital-RSV is pretty scary for a kid not even 2 weeks old when he got it! We were able to take Krista to a doctor's appointment-LOVE that I could fit all 4 kids in my car :) While Krista was visiting her doctor I went to Dunkin' Donuts...the sacrifices I make ;)

Unfortunately, Leah has gotten sick since then. I really don't know if she got what Jacob had, or if it's her teeth-they are really REALLY bothering her. She had a fever for a couple of days (which Jacob never had...so I'm starting to doubt she picked this up from him) and a very runny nose. Today (the 21st) when she got up she had a terrible diaper rash that has spread down her legs and up her back...so we went to the doctor. (She ended up with an Rx for diaper cream and an antibiotic) At the doctor's office he checked her throat with a tongue depressor, and she gagged and threw up ALL OVER THE PLACE. On me, on her, on the floor...mostly in the trash can. Poor Dr. Yee just kept handing me paper towels, and she just kept heaving. She was so scared and upset. I'm pretty sure the only reason she did throw up was because she gagged on the tongue depressor, but we're going to hang out at home for a few days just in case.
The funny thing was, I didn't have a different outfit for her...but I did have one for Eli...

So here is Leah, in her brother's 4T clothes. She looks like a little gangster ;) Except she's still freaked out from throwing up everywhere, just wants to be held, and mom is taking her picture with her cell phone instead of comforting her...The things we do for a picture...

ANYWAY, we're at home now, I finally got to change my clothes (over an hour later...by the time the Rx was filled it took us a while...nothing like eating take-out with a bit of Leah's snack still on you...) and Leah is sleeping. Scratch that. I just heard her talking in her room. She's probably hungry. The only thing she's eaten today is in Dr. Yee's garbage can.

Hasn't this been a lovely post?
