Micah has been sick the last few days, and it's definitely been challenging for me as well! He started coming down with a fever Monday late-morning, and going to bed tonight (Thursday night) is still with that fever. We actually headed to the doctor this afternoon, because they told me with a fever on its 4th day, it was worth getting checked out. Thankfully nothing serious came back - as they tested him for strep since his throat was really red - and checked his ears and found all to be in working order. Tonight he was actually acting more and more like himself, so I'm taking that as a good sign and that health is on the mend.
Tuesday was such a sad day, as Micah didn't leave the couch for more than an hour all day - and that was to sleep in his crib. Micah is not typically a cuddler...he's a very sweet boy, but just too active to sit and be still. Tuesday, Wednesday, today - all came with a different little boy. He just hung all over me, wanted to be right next to me, and wanted me to hold him all day. It's so sweet, but also so sad to know your little boy is not feeling well. And on top of that, I'm 32 weeks pregnant :) Not quite as much room on my lap as normal, and definitely a challenge to try and comfort Micah (especially for 3 days straight!). Wednesday wasn't much better, but there were minimal gains, and today he actually went to Emy's house until I took off to take him to the doctor.

Moments of sleep that occurred throughout the day...I think the first time Micah's ever slept on the couch, which shows just how sick he was!
What a sad little face...one that I love with all my heart!
Thankfully, as I said above, he's on the mend and we're working our way back to some normalcy in our house. This week has definitely given me an appreciation for moms with multiple children that figure out how to continue to play the balancing act! Soon enough, I'll be figuring that out as well...8 more weeks :)
Tell Micah that Nana Kay is sad that he has been so sick. Hopefully, he will be on the mend soon - and Mommy and Daddy won't get sick as well!
