First Fever :(

Posted by Missy Roberts at 12:03 PM About Jake

It's been a while since we last posted.  I guess we've been pretty busy.  Jacob spent Monday recuperating from his long weekend trip.  Tuesday afternoon Jacob and mommy went to mommy's work to have lunch with Auntie Melinda and so that mommy could turn in her resignation papers.  So it's official, I won't be returning to King High School.  I went to talk to my old students to tell them that I won't be going back.  That is when I really felt that I was done.  I am happy to be staying home with Jacob and really, I'm happy not to be going back to work at King.  It was a great place to work, but it's time to move on.  Things have changed there a lot and I can see that it's not where I'm supposed to be anymore.  Even if I did have to go back to work, I think I would work closer to home anyway.  I only traveled to Riverside everyday because I loved where I worked.  Now, I can't really say that.  As time passes, things change and so do people.  I will miss a few people that work there, but I know I will keep in touch with them anyway, so I'm really not losing out on anything.  i will miss working with the students I had this year because they were great...but kids come and go and when I do go back to work,i'm sure I'll meet some more amazing kids. For now, all that I'm concerned about is MY amazing little boy.

 Anyway, when we got home from my work Jacob spit up some yellow stuff.  I was a little concerned, but then about an hour later he spit more up and it was A LOT more...almost to the point that I would call it throw up.  I was very concerned and called the doctor.  They said not to worry and to just keep an eye on him.  Later that night when I was feeding him before he went to sleep I noticed that he felt warm.  We took his temperature and he had 100.2 temperature.  So we gave him some tylenol and let him sleep with us.  I didn't want him spitting up and choking and I wanted him close to me.  he was perfectly fine Wednesday morning and ever since then.  I have a feeling that he is starting to teeth.  he is drooling A LOT and his lower gums are puffy in the front.  It may be a little early for him to actually be cutting teeth, but this may be the beginning signs that teeth are coming soon. 

Yesterday, we all went to Chino Hills city hall for the National Day of prayer.  Our neighbor, Pastor Frank was speaking, so we thought we would go check it out.  We saw cousin Gina there and had a good time talking to her after it was over. 

We are hoping for a relaxing weekend where Jacob gets some sleep at night.  he's been waking up 2-3 times a night, so hopefully he has a restful weekend so mommy and daddy can have one too:)  Mommy and Daddy love you!
