Happy Spring, everyone! We made it through another winter and now it's time to look forward to warm weather and outdoor fun!
Times have been a little rough on our household as we got through this weekend. We've been sharing and re-sharing nasty cold viruses the past week, but this weekend has been the mother of them all.
Friday night landed us in the local urgent care with Linden running a fever, puking, cold symptoms, and a rash. All the things nobody wants to see a little baby go through. We were fortunate enough to never deal with a bad illness when Conner was a baby, so we decided it would be best to get Linden checked out by a doctor just in case it was something that needed a little more attention.
It was not a fun trip to the doctor, and I quickly learned that Linden is like a beast when it comes to physical strength. It took three adults to hold him down to look at his ears because he was strong enough to push people away. Three adults...
I left there feeling more confused on how to handle his illness because of conflicting information, but at least we left knowing he likely didn't have RSV or strep.
We're still fighting his fever and sore throat and his congestion is causing him a lot of grief, but I just keep telling myself that this time next week should be better for everyone.
Saturday was more or less one of those days that we were just trying to get through with two sick little boys. And since it was uneventful for us, it gave me an opportunity to take some close ups of Linden to look back on someday. I know in just two years, I'm going to forget little details of his hands, feet, and face, so I like to capture these growing moments.
Conner gave us a big surprise Saturday morning. Out of the blue he randomly counted his numbers to ten. All this time Joe and I thought that he could only count to three, but that little boy clearly knew way more than we were giving him credit for. Our minds were blown, and this mama is proud.
Sunday was of course another homebound day. There was no chance of leaving the house for church or lunch or anything really. Instead, Linden spent the majority of the day resting while Conner and I decided it was our top priority to make cookies. And then eat them.
Cookies are a very serious thing in this family. Conner and I love cookies. We broke out the mixer and he helped dumped the ingredients one by one into the mixing bowl. He even mastered helping me with cracking the eggs and eating the cookie dough.
As for Joe, he got his deer mount back from the taxidermy so he stayed busy figuring the best way to mount it to the stone fireplace. Now let's just pray it holds tight when he finishes!
