Yeah so I know I suck at blogging. Truth be told, I do most of my "interneting" from my cell phone so I don't always have out my laptop. Crappy excuse but it's true. So, I am SERIOUSLY gonna try to start blogging at least once a week. Key word-TRY! :)
Brent's mother has a condo at Garden City, SC (Myrtle Beach) and we went down there the last full week in August and had a blast. This was Blake's second time at the ocean and he absolutely LOVED it. Last year he was just starting to walk so he basically crawled around in the water and ate sand. This year he was chasing waves and kicking sand. Woohoo!
I made Brent and Blake do some shopping with me which they both love. Brent sighs heavily and paces while Blake wants everything he sees. Yeah payback, I get it. Anyways, I had a great time as did everybody else. Mom and Dad watched Blake a few times so Brent and I could get out a bit. We took Blake to "Alligator Adventure" while we were there. He hollered at every alligator he saw and thoroughly enjoyed himself but would not pet the baby alligator when the man brought him around.
On our way home things were good until Blake woke up from his nap. We had stopped at Brent's Aunt's house on the lake for a get-together when we noticed he wasn't feeling well. My first clue was that he didn't want his strawberry milkshake that we got him. Second clue was he wanted to go inside when we were at the lake, which is highly unusual. Third clue-he started running a fever. I had Tylenol in the car so I went ahead and gave him that. We finally got home and tried to push fluids. About 9pm I took his temperature and it was 104.4!! I called the Peds nurse and she said that if it got to 105 he would need to go to the ER. I told her I wasn't waiting until 105 so off to the ER we went. Long story short, we got home at 2:30 a.m. with a really bad ear infection which was making his eardrum bulge. Poor guy. He is just finishing up his Amoxicillin which he hates, so we will be glad to have that over with.
Other than that, things are pretty good. We have the "diagnostic ultrasound" on September 27th to see how the baby is doing and find out the gender (yay!). Please keep us in our prayers as we keep you in ours!! Have a great day/night!!
