To start, Valerie is 4 weeks old today and will be a month old on Thursday. Baby girl needs to slow down! She's starting to be awake for longer periods every day. When she's awake, she is so aware of everything. She is constantly looking around, trying to take everything in. She's starting to track sounds. If we talk to her, she will look around for us. She is also trying so hard to hold her head up. She's not so bobble headed anymore, but you can tell she tires quickly and she'll start flopping again.
I have been sick nonstop since we came home from the hospital. It peaked Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I started spiking a fever. Sunday night/Monday morning the fever peaked at 105.3. I felt like I had been hit head on by a semi, which then backed up to hit me again. It was horrible. I have never felt so sick in my life. I haven't been able to hold food down since last Wednesday, but I am slowly starting to hold a few bites down at a time. I do ok with smoothies and fresh fruits, so I'm trying to stick with those for now. Luckily my kids haven't gotten whatever I have been sick with. However, my oldest has been fighting us on taking his medication for his adhd. He discovered this morning that he can make himself throw up so the medication doesn't stay down. So he waited until he was on the bus, made himself throw up, and then told his school he wasn't feeling well, so they sent him home. No fever, no nothing. I am so pissed about it. Urgh.
Also, we have started house hunting! We are looking to buy a home. With 3 kids, we want to have a stable location for them to call home. We don't want to rent anymore. We feel as if our money would be better spent making a house payment rather than renting a place we don't even like. Makes sense to us.
Oh! We got our first family photos done Sunday! When my husband gets home with the prints tonight, I will try to post them!
