Well, Sarah's first Valentine's Day was rung in with double ear infections and bronchiolitis! Mark took Sarah in to Dr. Joel on Thursday (I worked part of the day, to get some things actually done). She was fine the day before and over night got worse and what do you know she has dual ear infections and bronchiolitis - poor baby. On Friday, she was running a fever, so I stayed home with her. Well, Jakob started coughing on Friday, which we are always on high alert for as he has asthma (but has been under great control this past year), on Saturday he woke up coughing and had a bit of nasal drainage. Saturday evening started coughing more and more and by 4:00 am on Sunday am he was up coughing every 30 seconds or so - dry cough, which the Albuterol didn't help, so it was mostly honey for the throat, water, hot packs on the chest - Jakob likes that and back rubs. I should mention Sarah was up from 2:15-3:45 am on Sunday also! Oh, and Mark and I decided to foolishly stay up to watch SNL, so we weren't in bed until about 1 am!! And, somehow, Mark slept thru all of this!
Ok, getting back to Valentine's Day, Sarah was home, Jakob went to preschool where they had a little party. He came home so excited to see his candy and cards - in that order! I should mention that Jakob says "Valentine's Day is about hearts, because hearts mean love, and about candy."On Saturday, we spent a romantic evening with the Brink family and their kids (both of them also have ear infections), ordered Thai food and wrangled kids - nice!
Here are the Valentine's we came up with at the last minute, since I hadn't been able to shop being home w/Sarah - red tissue paper, wrapped around Hershey's kisses - with little heart tags, decorated by Jakob. I forgot how messy glue and glitter gets - it's awful!
Here is a picture of Sarah, wearing her little Valentine's dress that Julie H. gave her, it fits more like a top - it is a small 18 months size! Super cute!
