Isaac is 2 months!
Well, today we had a "not so ideal" day for Isaac's 2 month birthday.
Our day started at 6:30am with Isaac feeling a bit warm to me and being a little more fussy then usual. I took his temperature and he had 100.4 which according to our baby books we are supposed to call the doctor immediately.
After speaking with the doctor, Isaac and I headed to the Pediatric ER. When we arrived, he had a temperature 100.9 and they decided to order a bunch of tests. (not exciting AT ALL) But, I was happy for them to do whatever was necessary to make sure he was alright.
In the ER I learned that babies as young as Isaac are never supposed to have fevers, and if they do have one, even low grade, the doctors play it safe by using a catheter to draw out urine, drawing a bit of blood, doing a spinal tap, (to check for menengitis) and also giving a shot of antibiotics. Ouch. Thankfully, I was able to be in the room for all of the procedures.

All of this was probably a lot scarier for me then it was for Isaac, though his cries showed me he didn't like it too much either!
We are very thankful to the nurses and doctors at Huntsville Pediatric ER for taking such great care of us and letting us know that Isaac only has a urinary track infection. (He'll probably be embarrassed one day that I announced this on our blog...)
We are all tired and I am extremely thankful that Dan was able to be home taking care of Davis during the 6 1/2 hours that we were gone to the hospital!
Happy 2 month birthday to our little? 13lb 11oz buddle of chubby love!
