Our sweet boy got sick last Friday and had a temperature, I didn't want to mess with it since he is just four weeks old so we got to go to the Emergency Room. His temperature just happened to be 100.4 which is the cut off, if it was 100.3 he would not have had to have a chest x-ray, catheter, blood draws, IV (which happened to go in his head), and spinal tap. It was a long unpleasant evening at the ER but Pete was quite stoic and handled it all very well. I think I cried more than he did. We had to be admitted and stay until all the culture results were in, 48 hours. So Pete and I spent the weekend at the hospital. His fever was gone by Saturday afternoon and he was left with a stuffy nose (which is difficult for a nursing baby) and that's it. The cultures all came back negative so we got to leave Monday morning. We are glad we went, better safe than sorry!
So I took some pictures last night of our sweet boy. I really like him a lot even though he keeps me up at night.

Oh, I am so happy that he is doing well! I have been thinking about you guys a lot! We love your sweet Pete!
Sorry to hear you had such a scare. I hate that. Sure am glad that he is fine. And so are you. He is a sweetie! I wonder how old he'll be before we see him.
UhOh Pete scaring your parents and siblings already however, I am not surprised that you were a very stoic young man and are sailing through on your way to recovery. Hopefully your mommy is recovering as well from the night wakings and worry.
Love you
Glad all is well. He reminds me of Tessa in these pics. Be those chubby cheeks are the result of all that night waking:)
How sad ... Skyler got his first cold on Wednesday and we were up all night with him screaming b/c he couldn't sleep with his nose clogged. We will keep him in our prayers!
I really need some more Pete pics!
