Can we say SLEEP??


It has been a rough couple of days. Makena caught a low grade fever on Sunday and she has been down hill every since. Here fever was up to 104 last night and has hovered around the 101-102 mark most of the other times. I took her to the doctor today and he said there is nothing obvious to indicate a bacterial infection. If it is viral, she should be feeling better and fever should drop within the next day. If it does not--he will do a urine culture for a bladder infection. He said at her age, it is VERY rare to have a bladder infection without something else wrong (i.e. something is not right with her urinary tract system). If it turns out to be a bladder infection, they will do x-rays and run other test to ensure her system is functioning properly.

So, here's hoping she feels better soon--aside from the scary thought of a bladder infection...mama needs some sleep. She was yapping in her sleep and thrashing around the bed for almost two hours straight last night. Dr. said it may all be fever related--stress to the body.

Hopefully, I'll post tomorrow with some good news.

Where have we been??


Live has just taken over and I just don't have the time to update as much as I use to. Justin has been doing a lot of traveling recently and my work has been so busy. When I get home, I want to spend time with my family and then go to bed!

So what's new??

1) Makena says "I love you", more like "i ub u", but you get the idea.
2) Makena LOVES books (thats not news is it??)
3) Makena can sign apple!! I found this out yesterday when her teacher asked her to show me. I am so happy she is learning new things in school. It makes me sad that I didn't teach her how to sign apple though. When she did it for the first time, it wasn't for me, it was for her teacher :(
4) Makena dances in her carseat. When we are driving a long and a song comes on we both like, I sway back and forth in my seat and she follows suit. We have even implemnted the "wave your hands in the air, wave it like you just don't care" motto. Of course, I only do one hand so I can drive...Mak follows suit on this as well.
5) PUPPY!! She can spot a puppy a mile away.

There is so much more, not enough time to tell it. This is all I got for now!
