My head is still spinning from this insane weekend we had. IT WAS AWFUL!!!
It all started on thursday night when Kroten decided at 7 o' clock to break a fever. He started screaming and wouldn't stop crying, he wouldn't go to bed and all he wanted to do was cuddle, not like him at all. His fever topped at 102.4 at about 11, at which point he had only slept maybe an hour. The rest of the night I stayed up watching cheesy informercials and holding him. I think I got about 3 hours of sleep all night, that isn't even the worst part, Jared had to work the next day and I had a job interview at 11.
It was the worst night ever,
worse than when he was a newborn, and you all know how horrible that was.
So Friday, my mom came over to help watch Kroten while I got ready and went to my interview, luckily I can run on little to no energy, unfortunately it catches up to me (keep reading and you will see.) Later that afternoon, we went to the doctor and they told us he has a pretty bad ear infection and (thank goodness) his fever was almost over. That night I started to feel crummy. Since I had stayed up all night with him, Jared offered to take the watch, so I took a Benydril and conked out. Kroten slept almost all night, but Saturday both Jared and I were sick and tired but thankfully Kroten was feeling much better, thanks to the pink miracle drug they gave to him. I dont know what is in it, but I am a firm believer in its healing powers.
Today we skipped church, mostly for everyone else's sake, what ever this sickness that is going around is I definitely dont want any one else to get it. But I am glad we did, because I feel awful. I can't hear, cant smell, cant breath, cant taste, cant move, and to make this whole story even worse...
Kroten decided to wean himself from nursing,
I've tried everything and he just doesn't want to nurse. If you dont know what that means for me, just knowit is horrible, and it hurts.
So even though we didn't get to enjoy the weekend and tomorrow we have to go back to the daily grind, I am glad it is all almost over. I learned one good lesson though, I would way rather be sick than take care of a sick baby, at least when it is me I can sleep!!

Because my milk was making Payton so sick I had to quit nursing too and put him on some special formula AND IT HURT--emotionally, but especially physically. It's been a week now and I finally feel fine. Anyway- hope you guys feel better soon.
Kristen, I feel for you! Stopping nursing cold turkey is incredibly painful. And I was commenting to Traci this morning that one of the hardest things for me about being a mother over the years is when I've been sick, but still had the responsbility of taking care of everyone. It's so hard, and my prayers go out to you, sweetie!
Sorry you had such a rough weekend. No fun. Being sick or having sick kids definately test you, but glad to see you are making it through.
Good luck babe.
Where did you interview at?
Sorry to hear about the weekend. Makes ya appreciate the good ones much more. Hope things get better soon.
at least is wasn't the "swine flu". Everytime I start feeling slightly bad I think..."is it the swine flu?"
I don't know if it would make a difference...but could you still use a breast pump and mix it with formula??? I don't know if that would help or not.
sorry for a horrible weekend!! HOpefully you will all feel better soon!
Ammon weened himself when he was young and it KILLED ME! I never wanted him to stop. I cried over it so much and not becasue it was painful cause I was getting engorged but I felt like i was losing out on the bonding. It was SO hard! I feel your pain!
