I've been a bit lax lately in my posting... We've been busy! Isaac's birthday is coming up, and we are trying to get his New Room all ready for that, so we've been painting and sewing (ok, futuristically speaking, I "have been" sewing. Currently, I can only honestly say I have been to the fabric store...) and planning. So much fun. I hope he likes it! I'll post pics when we're finished. He talks excitedly about his New Room, but I'm not sure he really knows what is going on yet. Kind of like Baby Brother. He seems excited, but I'm afraid the reality is going to be a little different than the theory. hehe.
Speaking of Baby Brother, as close as I can tell, we are now down to about #34. (We started around #60 when we joined the wait list on 11/29.) I don't really have a guess as to when we'll be matched. Maybe another few months???
This morning we went to see the doctor. Isaac is now 30 lbs and 38 inches. He grew a little more, but didn't really gain much. Anyway, he's been sick a lot lately. Basically, he's had a fever on and off for over 2 weeks now. He'll have a fever for a few days, then be fine for a few, then have a fever again for a few days, then be fine for a few. We're back to the fever stage again, and I brought him in to be checked out. The tricky part is, he doesn't really have much else for symptoms besides the fever. His nose is a little runny, he coughs a little, but nothing that seems like it should give him a temp of 102 every weekend. (Which is how it's turned out so far. Which I guess has been nice, because I haven't had to take the last 2 weeks off work and I have been able to be home with him when he wasn't feeling well.) Of course, when we were at the doctor's this morning, he was only in the 99-100 range and he was acting pretty normal, so the doctor said he thought it wasn't anything too big of a deal. Maybe he gets a new cold every week from those other pesky sick kids in his class at daycare or something. The doc did say if he still has a fever on Monday he would write him something, but he didn't get all worked up about it since he looked ok today and didn't seem to have any big bad infections going on anywhere. By this evening he was back up to 101, but seemed generally better than yesterday evening when he was totally floppy and snuggled in our laps and not moving (except for shivering even tho he was all snuggled against us and wrapped up in a blanket.)
I suppose that is all our non-news. I need to get creative and make Isaac's curtains now (see? the future is coming!)
