Big Boy Bed, Rear Ends, and...

the bug...I think it's hit...I think that cough was the beginning...Lucas is not himself tonight and has a temp. of 103.6...poor little guy! It has been quite the day...let me recap for you...

2:00 AM

Lucas was stirring in his room and chatting away in his crib so Wally went in and gave him his pacifier. He went right back to sleep.

2:30 AM

Lucas is up again...standing in his crib, hitting the railing, chatting away...I go in and rock him, walk with him, try laying him down again...nothing works. He is resting on my shoulder, but his eyes are wide open when I am walking. Yet, when I would rock him, the eyes would start to go, but then he would change positions...he just couldn't get comfy. I bring him to bed with me and he seems pretty comfy and like he might fall asleep, but Wally starts snoring and Lucas is staring at Wally's side of the bed wondering what that sound is (it was actually really funny). Luke looked so confused...so that wasn't working...I took him to the purple room (our guest bedroom) and laid down with him. After about a 1/2 hour, he is finally asleep...this is now 4 AM. Look how peaceful he was sleeping in the big boy [purple :) ] bed for about an hour by himself as I was getting ready for work.

6:35 AM
Lucas is up for the day and happy as a lark!

7:08 AM

We are out the door.

7:30 AM

I drop Luke off at Punky's (and no tears!).

7:40 AM

I make a stop at McDonald's for a soda and some breakfast (I didn't have to time to grab anything at home and I needed the caffeine - I don't drink coffee).

7:51 AM

At the stoplight at Western Ave. and Flossmoor Rd. and I am rear-ended...not once, but TWICE! The lady got out of her car without putting it in park first and hit me again...unbelievable! Amazingly, there was no damage to my car. She was driving an old Alero and it is lower to the ground than my car so everything seemed good and she wanted to take off, but I told her I would rather have the police come to file a report just in case - my back and neck were sore right off the bat. The lady was not happy about sticking around...come to find out it is because she doesn't have insurance...anyways, we get the report filed and I head to work. Wonder how my morning would have went if I didn't make the stop at McD's...shoot!

Work Day

A typical work day and I can feel different parts of my body starting to ache throughout the day...amazing how something that I can barely even remember happening because it goes by in a flash is making my body so sore...

4:10 PM

I leave work and head to pick up Lucas.

4:20 PM

I get to Punky's and Lucas is happy to see me and had a great report for the day. He kept trying to sneak out to the big kid's room! Troublemaker!!!

4:45 PM

We get home and Lucas starts to act a bit cranky...I assume it is because of the party he was having early this morning around 2:30-4ish.

5:30 PM

Lucas gets some dinner, but just doesn't seem to be digging it too much.

6:00 PM

He is getting extra cranky now and I feel that he is pretty warm.

6:30 PM

He is chilling on the couch with Wally watching Wheel of Fortune barely able to keep his eyes open. We take his temp. and it is 103.6. We get him in his jams, give him his bedtime bottle, and some tylenol and we snuggle up with the little guy for awhile on the couch.

So sad :(

8:00 PM

We put Lucas in his crib.

8:45 PM

Lucas is up and a sweaty mess - his fever broke and is down to 101. He is up for about 25 minutes.

9:15 PM

Wally and Lucas are sleeping, and I am blogging wondering how sore I am going to be in the morning and how my little man is going to do through the night...we shall see. It looks like this mommy will be home with her baby tomorrow....I will keep you posted! It has been quite the week already!
