First middle of the night ER visit

Well it had to happen eventually, I took Eli into ER tonight. Fortunately, he is fine. Just a mild case of the croup. But I promised myself that by choosing not to vaccinate I would be very careful with any kind of sickness to get him checked out promptly in case he needs care.

Unfortunately, I am also sick. So now we have the window wide open and I'm a little bit freezing to be honest. Winding down from the hospital visit too. It's definitely an adrenaline rush, much like when we were rushing to the hospital to have him 4.5 weeks early. I love how quiet it usually is first thing in the morning, makes me have hope that not too many people are hurt or sick.

On a separate note, I think I mentioned Eli is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. He really began to crawl 2 days after his 7 Month birthday. I count real, actual crawling as being able to crawl a couple feet without sitting or lying on his tummy. It's so amazing to watch him go from sitting to crawling to sitting, rolling onto his back and then to his tummy and then sitting. He's a lot happier now that he can get to the things he wants too (whether mommy wants him to or not).

Crazy thing is, he's starting to pull himself up. He was sitting next to his Daddy (who was lying on his side) and he wanted the kleenex box which was on the other side of Daddy. So he gets a grip on his legs and stands up. A bit wobbly but wow! I'm in for trouble with this one. He's just been ready and early for everything it feels like. Except getting a darn tooth! Not that I'm in a rush to have teeth in certain sensitive areas but I would love if he had something to show for his teething pains.

Well it's both late and early at the same time so I will go back to bed. Wish us both a speedy recovery!!! There is no rest for sick moms after all!
