Baby boy

We started our long weekend of romance (hahaha) with a Valentine's Day fever! Bren felt a little warm in the late afternoon and then by the time we had a bath and we were getting ready for bed he was burning up. Then he projectile vomited up his dinner... super. And then after bottle, spewed that too. Ugh.... So scary! I pumped him full of baby Tylenol and put him down hoping he would break the fever and get some rest.

So Jimmy and I shovel in our "romantic" dinner and gulp down some wine. And an hour or so later the baby was up and screaming. I went up and had him in the glider trying to calm him. Jimmy had to go to work. So there I sat with my poor sick baby, the temperol thermometer (so I could check every 10 minutes and a glass of wine. It was a long night.

This was Brendan's first high fever.... 103.4 at it's peak! We had a nice late night call to his Ped and she put me at ease. Sunday morning we went to see her at the doctor's office. He was still running 101 but was perking up. But Sunday afternoon he was on the mend and we went over to Jimmy's sisters for dinner for his Mom's birthday. Can you believe this little boy was so sick only 24 hours prior???? Kids are so resiliant...
