Not Enough Naps; Too Much Doctor

Anna has been a feeling under the weather lately.  It started last Wednesday with a really high fever that lasted a couple of days.  Starting on Wednesday also, was her refusal to take a nap.  She would fall asleep and the moment I laid her down in her crib she would wake up and start wailing.  Poor girl was just tired all day and poor me was run ragged with holding her all day.  Such is life with a sick baby though.

This is proof she wasn't sad all the time!  I had to work a little harder to keep her happy, but actually she was pretty happy even being sick- this girl is a trooper!

So finally on Monday, I decided she should go in to see the Dr., just in case it was an ear infection or something.  Well, the Dr. was no help, telling me it was viral infection/rash or some such nonsense.

Then yesterday, I made arraignments for Jackson to go to a friend's house right after school while I took Anna and Wyatt to her 1 year well check.  I had written this apt down months ago and showed up only to find out her appointment was that morning and we missed it!  Argh!  Anyway, they rescheduled me for this afternoon, so for the THIRD time this week I tromped down to the dang pediatrician's office!

I actually like going to the well check apt.  It's fun to see the kid's growth and I really like our Dr.  She is growing well (following the Nyholm body pattern of tall and skinny).  She's 25% weight, 90% height, and 75% head.  Funnily enough, Dr. Duck did find an ear infection in one of her ears now, so Anna is going hold off on her immunizations for a couple of weeks.

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
