More gifts…
This weekend we got together with Joeys side of the family ( well they are my family too..) to celebrate Christmas with them..There were kids everywhere and I do mean everywhere…Kellar showed off his walking skills, momma is so proud!!! Kellar of course came home with lots of goodies..Kellars grammie painted me a picture of Kellar, I can’t imagine the time she must have spent painting this picture..The detail she put into this picture is amazing, his eyelashes are the first thing you see when you look at it, Kellars eyes are one of the things we get compliments on constantly, well that and how stinking adorable he is..Melanie made Joey and I a scrapbook of Kellar…She went back to day 1 of Kellars blog and each page of the scrapbook is a post from Kellars blog, she did this for the whole 1st year…I was speechless..I look at my blog everyday, but when I opened up the book and seen not only how much time and effort she put into this but looking at Kellar and how little he was it just brought back this flood of emotions..I was so not expecting anything like this, I just sat and cried…I still can’t believe how far my baby has come..Mel thank you!!!! Now I have to get started on the 2nd year…We headed back over to Dells today to eat lunch and see everyone before they headed back home..Kellar found this new trick for making your lips plumper, no need to go and invest in those expensive lip plumping injections just fall face first and be sure that your lip comes in contact with the floor, instant fullness…Be sure you have a tissue handy to wipe up the blood and the phone number to your dentist in case you knock a tooth out, but hey your lips will be so plump no one will notice the tooths gone..or chipped…Luckily we didn’t need the dentist though….
No wonder he screamed all night long…
His throat is covered with blisters..My poor baby!!!! I really don’t know how to keep my nerves in check when Kellar is screaming and I have no idea what is wrong..Last night I was in tears, I felt so bad for him, he woke up screaming and holding him, hugging him, singing to him ( well I guess I could see why my singing would make him scream ) nothing calmed him down..I had knots in my stomach because my baby was hurting, something was hurting him and I couldn’t make it all better..I can feel myself panicking inside and my heart starts racing and I get very very anxious and antsy when something is wrong with him, maybe it’s the memories of him being in the nicu that triggers this rush of anxiety over me? I was ready to put him in the car and head to the ER, I seriously was a nervous wreck..I am one of those moms that can’t deal with my child feeling bad, it hurts me to see him feeling so bad, and hurts even worse that I can’t take it from him..His fever will break for a couple of hours, just long enough for him to want to get down and play and then it comes back up..He still hasn’t gotten much of an appetite, but understandably so..He is at least taking juice and actually drank some milk tonight…Guess I better try and get some sleep while he’s actually resting…
My favorite gift of all….
Merry Christmas…
We hope each and everyone had a most wonderful Christmas!!! Santa was pretty good to Kellar this year, he must have been a really good boy…I don’t know where we are going to put all of this stuff…Last night we went to my parents house and all of our family ate and opened gifts, Kellar was ripping up some wrapping paper trying to get to his gifts…When we came home I noticed that he felt a little warm to the touch, I took his temp and he had a low grade fever…We played with some of his toys, read a book or two and then went on to bed…I woke up and he felt like a little hot rock, the spot where he was laying was hot to the touch..I took his temp and it was 101.7, so we gave him motrin and he tossed and turned, I knew he wasn’t feeling well when he was awake and just laying there not trying to get up and crawl off the bed…We got up around 9 ( I know I better enjoy that this year because I have a feeling next year I may be up at the crack of dawn with a very excited little boy wanting to see what all Santa brought him ) and let Kellar open his gifts from Santa, he just really wasn’t into opening gifts and had much rather just lay around or sit in our laps..I took his temp again and it was hovering around 100, I gave him some motrin and we called everyone and told them that we wouldn’t be coming over for Christmas lunch because Kellar wasn’t feeling well..I went ahead and went to my other grandparents house and had lunch there, I brought Joey and Kellar a plate back, but Kellars appetite is missing..His Grammie and Papaw came by so we could do our Christmas here since we weren’t able to go over to Courts and Shanes..Kellar started feeling warm again and his temp went up to 102.3 so I gave him some Tylenol..He had started to feel a little better and was half way playing and enjoying his new toys, but after a hour or so he started to slow down and yep, his fever was coming back up..I’m not sure what is going on, he’s not really coughing alot, he may cough a few times but nothing that would make me think I even need to get out the cough medicine, his nose isn’t running, he’s not wheezing…Earache maybe? Cutting more teeth? I’m not sure but I guess if it doesn’t go down and stay down I’ll call our pedi tomorrow and see what they think we need to do next…
What a difference a year makes…
I took Kellar to get his pics made w/Santa a few weeks ago…I got to thinking about last years pics and wanted to see just how much he has grown, are you as amazed as I am????
