Deep End

This weekend Matt was thrown into the deep end...
head first...
with lead weights!
Saturday late morning we decided to go for a walk to the park with the wagon.
The five of us (Sierra came, too) hung out for an hour or so.
Kennedy rode over and back in the sling as usual.
When we got home Mommy's back was super sore.
We decided it was just from carrying our 18lb 3oz 6 month old (a post on that coming soon).
It was lunch then nap time so we ate and all laid down in different parts of the house.
Kennedy slept with Mommy on the couch (as she always does so she can nurse her way thru a nice, long 2 hour nap).
Throughout the nap time Mommy's back hurt more and more.
The little bit of a scratchy throat and cough got worse and worse.
When Daddy woke up he took Mommy's temperature and found it was 100.4 and climbing.
It rose just shy of 102 before we decided Mommy should take something.
Daddy researched what would be ok for a nursing Mommy.
We decided on ibuprofen and lots of juice.
By the evening Mommy was a disaster.
Daddy learned quickly how hard it is to take care of 2 little girls by himself.
When Kennedy was born Gramm was here (Mommy's Mommy) to help so Daddy didn't take extra time off.
Today he told Mommy he doesn't know how she does it everday.
If it wasn't for Kennedy's nursing nap with Mommy today, the house would still be a total wreck!
His deep end adventure will likely continue tomorrow, too as Mommy is still achy all over, coughing down into her chest, fever off and on, and now a runny nose.
Keep Daddy in your prayers so he doesn't go completely batty! and Mommy so she gets better.
