viruses and mother's day and pictures OH MY!

soooo, jordan had a really high fever for 3 days and i was pretty worried about it because he's usually a pretty healthy bundle. so i made an appointment for him on may 10th. by the time he wakes up from his nap on that day, the fever? gone. in its place? a rash that literally appeared out of nowhere. so i made ANOTHER appointment for may 11th. (i'm pretty sure the front desk people at the pediatrician's office, hate me) we actually DID make it to that appointment where they did some tests and the result came back as ....drumroll.... viral roseola infantum. yea. sounds scary. and it is. turns out that a possible symptom of the really high fever is seizures. but, once the fever breaks, you're out of the woods. thankfully, we passed that part with no incidence. he's all better now, but boy oh boy, was i a freaked out mama!

my first mother's day was kind of a bust. we didn't go anywhere in the morning (by anywhere, i mean church, where we usually would have been) and it was very uneventful. my dad stopped by and gave me a card and my sweet sweet brother sent me a car via my SiL. he's never EVER sent me a card in my life!

later that night, we went to my cousin's for a cookout and swimming. it was so windy by the time we got there, i said a big fat no to the swimming part.

it was also kind of sad to see families out and about. like, families that have a mom and a DAD with the beebee. i felt a little sorry for myself, but then i realized that its not so bad. because really, i think i do a pretty good job for both roles. anyway, i could have gone without mother's day. *sad face*

EXCITING!!

we got pictures taken today and i'm so freakin' stoked. this time it was the WHOLE family: mom, dad, matthew, little matthew, cheyenne, sudden and of course, jordan and i. they turned out SO well! anyway, i love the picture people and they make me spend far too much money. although, today, i got a pretty sweet deal. $63 for 7 sheets. it may not sound like a good deal, but considering i paid almost $100 for 5 sheets last time....good deal methinks.
