This week seemed to start off a little rough. I know it really wasn't too bad, it just felt like one of "those weeks". Tuesday Layla had a fever of 103.6. She had a fever earlier in the day too, but not quite as high. Tylenol seemed to help take it down, but not get rid of it. Layla has just seemed "off" lately--not as happy as normal. I don't know if it's teeth or what. Tuesday with Gavin all day she was not real happy. Every time Gavin would push her over she'd cry--normally she cries sometimes when he hurts her, but not everytime he pushes her over! She really didn't appreciate when he bit her (who can blame her for that though?)! So it was just a long day. Then shortly after Gavin left, the dog that we were taking care of for a few days arrived. And by "we", I mean "I". Joe was traveling for work Tuesday through Thursday--exactly the time that the dog was at our house. About 20 minutes after he arrived, he started throwing up all over the house! Like a dozen times at least!! Him and Elv had been playing and then he had a big drink so that's probably what caused it. Picking that up then made me have to throw up (from "morning" sickness--sorry if that's too much information:D)! I was also trying to make sure that Layla and both dogs stayed out of it! Gross! I work on Wednesdays, and the dog wasn't used to being at our house so it whined much of the night. I was also up during the night to give Layla Tylenol (which I'm normally up a couple time being pregnant anyway) and just with normal pregnancy sleepiness I was very tired on Wednesday! Then that night I was reading in bed, it was after 11 (which is late for me:D) when suddenly Elvis started acting weird. As a side note, I was reading a really good book called Under the Overpass, it's about a guy who chose to live homeless for five months in order to learn from it and to then share his experience and what he learned from it with others and inspire them to make a change in their life (no, not to live homeless). I then heard Elv's stomach gurgle and knew what was coming. I was able to catch it in my hands (gross, I know, but didn't want it in my bed), but as I was cleaning it (and myself) up, he made a couple more spots on our bed--my pillow and the comforter included. So then it was time for a late night sheet changing! I was annoyed for a second, then I remembered what I was reading about and thought, hey, at least I have a bed to clean up! I would highly recommend the book to anyone!
Hopefully Elv just had an upset stomach or something. He normally never throws up. Sunday he had another seizure:-(. It was his second one ever (his first was early March). He throws up lots after having a seizure, so hopefully Wednesday night's puking wasn't the after effect of another seizure that I missed! :-( So Thursday Layla seemed to be doing better, but was still crabby. We therefore missed a church play date, but she was super tired too from not sleeping great the night before so I don't think she would have been much fun anyway! Friday we had a play date with Em and Gavin and my cousin, Mandi, and her kids. Here they are at their play date...

Holy smokes mere - what an awful few days for you! When it rains it pours! I can't imagine it getting much worse to have dogs puking in your house when that is something you are trying not to do yourself! I hope everyone at home is feeling well - Layla, Elvis, and you! Jill
