WHAT A WEEK!!!!

I am going to blog this because this will go down as the worst week of our life!
It all started on Monday morning as I was carrying Anderson to his bedroom for a diaper change. While holding him, I slipped on my cat, Tader's vomit (had no idea it was there, could not see it:( ) I landed directly on my right elbow. Anderson went the other direction and cracked his head on the wood floor while I had him slung over my shoulder. It hurt so bad and we were both crying. Long story short, I went to Urgent Care and they x-ray'ed my elbow, It is not broken, just severely bruised.

 They gave me a prescription for pain meds and put me in a sling with ice.

That night, I had agreed to feed a family in our ward which really helped to get my mind off of the events from the day.
Fun with The Moxey's and the Woodlands and Jayme!!

 NICE B!!!!

 P and B and baby woodland!!!

 Anderson was watching the boys diving for the football and we found him laying down just to be like them:)

 Just Jason!!

 Is it Swollen???

 Anderson started getting fussy and irritable after a very unsettling day.

 I took this picture of him and 40 minutes later he woke up and was up EVERY 40 minutes all night long

Patrick I were so tired and all he wanted to do was cuddle with Daddy. After he would sleep for 40 minutes , he would wake up with a roaring fever and I would spend the first 15 minutes breaking the fever and medicating and Patrick would come in for the next 15 minutes and rock him to sleep. He would sleep for 40 minutes and then we would repeat the process all night long! It was exhausting!

After not getting any sleep for two nights, a trip to our family Dr. and an early morning Blessing, we ended up in Urgent Care Wednesday morning. He had a very high fever and was diagnosed with Strep and an Ear Infection.

Anderson was on strike and would not eat or drink for DAYS!!! We finally got him to suck on a Pedia-lyte pop:)

As for my elbow, It continued to heal and ache and be sore for days as well.  And changed colors along the way

 

After a few days of being on the antibiotic and figuring out the correct dose of Ibuprofen he was back to sleeping through the night:)

Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival

We had such a fun time at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. We went with our friends The Marley's...Thank you Katie for taking our family pictures!

Anderson fell in the Mud:(

 He was having a sensitive day:(

 HE LOVED THE DUCKY PUMPS!!!

 He also loved this Tire Horse Swing:)

Anderson was so muddy by the time we were through. We stripped him down and I cannot tell you how EASY and AMAZING it is to do a diaper change with the FLEX. This was our first "Road Trip" with our new car! 

Girl's Night!

We had a Delicious Fondue Girl's Night!!

 Patrick and Anderson joined in on the yumminess!!
