When it Rains...

Things have been kinda crazy since we came home from the hospital. Nate had his final week of school and now has a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. (I'm so glad that is finally over with.) On Memorial Day, we had to take Braelinn to the Urgent Care, and we found out she had strep throat. It was not easy keeping her away from her new baby sister. Then on Tuesday, Rianne had her 2 week checkup, and I had to take her back to the hospital to get blood drawn. Turns out her jaundice level was really elevated, so they sent someone out to our house with a light bed for her to lay on. Well, when I went to pick up the kids from my mom, Danen was running a fever of 101.2*F. So Nate met me as soon as he got off work, and took Danen to the Urgent Care (of course everything happened "after hours") while I rushed home to met the light-bed guy. Danen ended up having a virus similar to Hand, Foot, and Mouth, so he is suppose to stay away from Rianne now, and she has to stay on the lights for 24 hours a day. It has been 4 days of juggling sick kids and a husband whose got the worst case of poison ivy I've ever seen (he actually had to get a steriod shot to hopefully get rid of it). Out of all of this, I will say this light bed is way more humane than the one Braelinn had to stay under in the hospital with the little Batman goggles. Here's a few pictures I snapped of her sleeping.


She finally did get off the bed today. So I'll be getting up some cute pictures in cute clothes soon, I hope. Next week we are going to get all of the tests done to see how her kidneys are functioning. I will keep you posted.
And can I add, on an equally as important subject, did you see the New Moon trailor? Oh my goodness!! I'm so excited, I don't know if I can wait 5 months.
