Poor thing! Get better, Jasper!
On a side note, I do have one question to ask you: I have been editing most of my photos but when I go to get prints made they come our HORRIBLE! I am just using Walgreens photo and I am sure there are better companies to have digital prints made. Any suggestions?

Update: He’s sounding slightly less “croupy” and more just bad congested coughy, so I may have been wrong in my diagnosis (the mom who cried “croup?”) I’ll let you know what the pedi says tomorrow…update on the update: It is croup.

The awesome thing is.. I got him on video saying mama AND waving!!! So stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode :)

JB, you are so right, what a great way to put it!

Jenna, thank you so much for that info. Better to be prepared right? I hope Eli doesn’t come down with anything.. and your sidenote was so sweet, thank you!!

Kari, see update, can’t wait to share the video. I can’t believe I actually got it on tape…

I hope your poor little guy gets to feeling better soon!

Congrats on the milestones!! Does it just melt your heart when he says “mama”? (Liam hasn’t said that yet… just “Da Da” and never when prompted! go figure.)

you have to get the waving on video so we can see!

praying for a smooth, healthy night for you all!

p.s. i SO hear you on DH not believing anything until they see it!

pp.s thanks for the shout out on the giggle post the other day ;)

You probably DON’T want to hear this, but just an FYI from another protective mommy. Eli was exposed to viral pneumonia over the weekend. The child was showing no signs of being sick at the time, so hopefully we’re in the clear. But her first sign was a random low grade fever that suddenly spiked to 104.5. Eli has had a low grade fever for a couple of days, but I’m hoping and praying that it’s related to teething. Although, I did call his doctor to see what I should look for, since he was exposed. They said to keep a check on his temp and to watch/listen for labored breathing, wheezing, or coughing. I know that my little brother had the croup often as a baby, and it was never a big deal. So hopefully that’s all your little man has! But just because my philosophy is that we as moms can never be too careful (as long as we’re letting them have a life!), I thought I would mention it. So not to scare you, but just keep a check on his temp and symptoms, as I’m sure you are!

Also, on a comical sidenote, my husband knows all about you guys, as Ariana and Jasper have become common names in our household! He laughs because I talk about you like we actually know each other!

He seems to be making sure to cover every last possible section in the What to Expect the First Year book with you, isn’t he? What a little multi-tasker he is. I too hope that he feels better soon, and keeps you all out of the ER. You must be exhausted.

Oh man, sorry about the little sickie kiddo. But hey, at least he will say mama and dada. We’re still not saying any words at all yet.
