Sick

Well it's official---Kenzie is now sick for the first time.

My mom called me on Tuesday and said "So I'm sick, you might want to keep an eye on Kenzie to make sure she doesn't get sick." Not only is my mom now sick, but one of my nieces that spent the night with Kenzie Friday night is sick! I kept thinkin, yeah right she won't get sick. Well I was wrong!

All day yesterday Kenzie was just whinny! I thought it was because she was teething---she's been chewing on EVERYTHING! and she wouldn't go down for a good nap. When Clay got home we went up to the church for their harvest festival. The church did a cool one where the different stations were characters out of the bible---they had the empty tomb, someone reading the creation story, a "booth" where they gave away free kid bibles, a bean bag toss that was Daniel and the Lion's den (had to get it in the lion's mouth), and many more that I can't remember. The whole time we were there Kenzie was just chillin'. We didn't think much of it since she hadn't taken good naps, it was pretty much bed time, and that's usually how she responds when there's a lot of people.

This morning at 6:30 (may I also point out---she usually sleeps till 8:30) she woke up crying and when I went to check on her she felt HOT! I tried to take her temp in her arm (99.6) but she was squirmy so I wasn't sure it was accurate. So I went to the favorite----the butt. Yup, 102.6, definatley knew we needed to go visit the dr. It was about 7 am though, so I was doing the hurry up and wait. I called about 9 (kenzie had fallen back asleep and I didn't want to wake her up) to see if she could get in and they said bring her in as a walk in. We arrived at 9:30 and didn't get out till almost 11! Since Kenzie had been exposed to Strep (from my niece) the dr decided to test her for strep. It came back negative. Since there weren't any other "symptoms" other than high fever we got the diagnosis of Swine Flu! Oh boy! So we are now definatley stuck in the house for a few days! We had so much to do---Football tomorrow, Halloween Carnival tomorrow, hadn't been at church in 2 weeks! and now I get to stay home with a sick baby!

Well Betty Sue borrowed a lion costume from a friend of hers for Kenzie for Halloween. Well turns out it's a good thing we went last night to the Harvest Festival so Kenzie could have some "dressed up" pics. They aren't the greatest, but atleast you can see her in her costume!

Well Kenzie is calling, better get going! I have decided 2 things are going to happen in the next few days---Kenzie will be spoiled and my arms are going to be buff! Oh, did I mention she weighed 18 lbs 5 oz at the dr today?
