YAY!

Jake's fever left us YESTERDAY! It was an EARLY morning for us, but we're doing MUCH better. (Jake woke up at 2:30 Monday morning, he was fevered and just feeling miserable!)
I'm pretty sure his fevery-ness came from getting 3 teeth at once. I know that doctors swear that kids don't get fevered when they teethe, but I beg to differ. At least one of the teeth has come out and he seems to be happier.
He is, however, using his misery to be whinier and crankier than usual. I realize I've been blessed with two really good kids. But the whining is something I really could do without.
I'll put Jake on the floor to play, and if he sees either me or Steve, he'll whine until we pick him up. We encourage him to crawl to us, but he throws his arms and legs in the air and cries. Maybe I shouldn't give into his whines so quickly....
Otherwise, we're all happy! AND fever free!!

Yah, I beg to differ too. Fevers, constipation or diarrhea, all come with teething. We mommy's know what we're talking about.

That's great that he's starting to feel better.

Woohoo!! Glad he's feeling better. Fevers do come with teething also my boys vomit when they are teething. Oh so fun for me.

That is good news. I would be careful of the ears though. Mckenna had a fever off and on for a few days. She was cranky and winie but I just thought it was from all of her teeth. A week and a half later I finally took her into the doctor to discover a double ear infection. I didn't guess that because she didn't scream when I layed her down or anything dramatic. Bad mommy, but I learned my lesson.
