Happy 4th of July!.... but not for Jackson :(

Well we had our first go around with a sick baby! :( Jackson has had a cold before, but he's never been really sick. However yesterday he got really fussy and I knew the cry was a "I don't feel good and I don't know what is going on and no one is making it better!" I felt so bad for him. We were out and about doing fourth of July celebrations and he was a little lethargic and he was burning up. We finally came home and he was running a fever of 101.4 degrees. He lost it before bedtime and was just screaming. I felt so bad for the kid. It sucks because we have a household of guests and he is just not feeling like his happy old self. Today the fever has gone down a bit, but he still just isn't doing good. He either wants his mommy to hold him or he wants to be left alone. Poor baby. Poor mommy and daddy. And poor company in this sick household!

Despite his sickness we did have a good 4th. I'll have to post an update later with pictures and what not.... so please stay tuned :)

Poor Jackson! And poor you guys! Sick babies are no fun. Do you know why he got sick? Any teeth yet? And is he walking? give him hugs!

Addy seems to get bad fevers when she is teething... The worst is fevers seem to really spike at night. There have been several times where I have woken up in the middle of the night to check on her only to find fever much worse than before bedtime. She has been known to get baths in the middle of the night to help bring down the temp. I guess my only advice is monitor them in the night. Sick kids are the pits!! You just feel so bad for them. They can't even tell you where it hurts or how they feel. Poor little guy!
