**We interrupt the regularly scheduled "school" posts to bring you this adorable baby:
and his equally adorable, but oh-so-sick big brother:
Poor Bryce woke up Wednesday morning throwing up. It was the only time he threw up, but he spent the following four days burning. Mark kept asking what his temperature was, but Bryce launched into hysterics every time I got near him with the thermometer. I figured I knew he had a fever, so what did it matter what the number read? Thursday night I changed my mind when he seemed on fire. I pulled out the thermometer and braved the wailing (all for under the armpit!) and discovered a temp of 103.2! You're supposed to add an extra degree to under armpit readings (which put it in the 104-area).
I took him to the doctor Friday morning and they ruled out Strep Throat, but couldn't determine any other reason for the fever. Bryce is not a fan of the doctor's office, but they have lollipops, so he was okay in the end.
Yesterday he started to feel a little better and today the fever's finally gone and he's started eating again. I hate having sick babies - it just breaks my heart for them.
The good thing about illnesses is that they make you extra grateful for being healthy.

So sorry he's been sick. It's so sad so see them hurting so much. Glad he's feeling better though. And yes, you do have cute kids!
I'm sorry! I'm glad that he's feeling better. I've got a sick baby right now, too, and it's hard! (I'm still working on my email to you... I'll send it soon!)
Poor baby! Glad he is feeling better! Hugs and kisses to all!!
