Throw me a fricking bone!

So the saying goes that God doesn't give you any more than you can handle. Well God must have more faith in me than I have in myself at this point. So Jace has been sick for about 3 days now...his first cold. He was fevering, and coughing, and generally just hasn't been feeling well. Being I'm a first time mom I called his doctor yesterday to see if I needed to bring him in and he told me just to watch him for a couple of days. Well I called today to get a prescription filled for me and I told the nurse that after Jace would cough, he would cry in pain. She told me to bring him in. Well I'm so thankful I made that call because as it turns out my poor little baby has a pneumonia! We started an antibiotic and I'm praying that will help him feel better.

Ben is still having fevers and feeling like crap. He keeps telling me he is capable of taking care of Jace because I go back to work tomorrow night! If both of my babies were healthy I would be dreading going back to work, but having them both sick is absolutely stressful! Luckily my mom is willing to help out, but I don't know if Ben will call her. I know Ben is a great dad and Jace will be just fine with him! It just is scary leaving my baby overnight! I mean I cried when I put him in his crib downstairs for part of the night!

On a good note...it seems that the prevacid and nutramigen seem to be working! Jace has hardly been puking at all! Hopefully the pneumonia will pass quickly and without too much more pain for my baby! We also have an appointment with infectious disease specialist next week and hopefully things will get figured out with Ben.

I'm slowing down and breathing. I know I have lots of prayers and support coming my my and it is all appreciated! Wish me luck! I'm hoping checking a cervix is like riding a bike and I will still know what to do when it comes to work tomorrow!
