Whew!

Do not fret! I haven't forgotten about my commitment to keep up with my blog. We actually have been without the internet for the past week and a half. We switched internet providers last Monday and have been waiting on our new modem ever since. It's been a pain because it happened when I needed access to the internet more than usual (of course!). But we're back up as of today thankfully. 

We have had a rough start to the week so far. Asher came down with a stomach virus on Monday morning. He was being pretty fussy that morning so I decided I should check his temperature just in case. Well, it was 101.7. Naturally I was pretty upset because I hate seeing my baby sick, but I was also worried about Lorelai getting it. So I was checking her temperature as well (rectally - poor things!). At first it seemed she was sick because her temperature got up to 100.5, but I eventually realized something must have been wrong with her thermometer (I used a different one for both of them) because it got different readings every time. So I decided to use Asher's thermometer after cleaning it more than necessary probably. Her temperature was 100% normal. So we only had one sick baby. Well, we had to go to the church to pick something up for Jon in case he needed to stay home with us the next morning and then we went to the bank. As we pulled into the bank parking lot Asher threw up all in his car seat. It was a mess. And of course we weren't prepared so we had no towels or anything. We used Lorelai's burp cloth and whatever other clothing pieces we could sacrifice. 

The good news, though, is that the next morning Asher woke up completely healthy again! His temperature was back to normal, and he had his appetite back. He ran around, laughed, ate, and was just back to his old, normal, happy self. We stayed home from church tonight, though, just in case. I didn't feel it was a good idea to leave him in the nursery with other kids just yet. 

Jon and I have actually been just waiting on Asher to get sick because he hasn't been sick since last June. We felt it was only a matter of time, and I'm so glad it's over and Lorelai stayed healthy!
