Whats been going on?

What has been going on with us? A LOT!! I decided we would start with the bad stuff and get it over with.
A couple of weeks ago Barrick woke up one morning totally fine acting like his usual normal self, then by nap time he was running a fever around 100 so I gave him Tylenol and put him down for a nap. Three hours later he woke up and was burning up. I took his temp. and he was at 104. I started the usual alternating Tylenol and Motrin to break his fever and it wasn't breaking. Finally around midnight it broke and he fell asleep then a couple hours later he started screaming like I have NEVER heard before. It is the kind where it feels like your heart stops because you know something is really wrong. I ran in his room and he was shaking and he eyes were rolling around and darting all over the room. I screamed for Scotty and he came in and Barrick did it for a couple of min. Scotty told me he was probably having a Febrile Seizure and I heard the word Seizure and of course freaked!!! Scotty said we needed to take him to the ER just in case, so off they went.
Come to find out that is what Barrick had and it happens to children when they run a high fever. CRAZY RIGHT?? I was just so happy nothing was seriously wrong, but I that is the most scared I have ever been! I can handle broken bones or blood, but something where you don't know what is wrong, and the worry that it is something more serious was scary!!

So the couple of days after this is what we did all day. Watch movies and stay in our jammies all day.

Now for the fun things. Scotty decided he wanted to get Barrick an outdoor hoop and it was quite an adventure getting it and putting it up. Lets just say it was one of those nights where nothing goes right but in the end this was the finished product, yes it was at 10 clock two hours past his bed time but as you can see a very happy little boy.

Scotty also participated in research week at his school where all surrounding medical schools get together and present their posters. Here we are in front of Scotty's, yes the babies were here but just in the stroller.

Here is Barrick shaving his face which is a huge accomplishment. With Barrick and I spending all of our time together he was convinced he is supposed to shave his legs. Yes our bathroom doors are left open, and shower time seems like family time, don't judge:) when you are eight months pregnant with twins and can't bend over the bathtub you would put your two year in the shower with you too. So now Barrick is convinced he has to follow me everywhere, so for the longest time with his play shaving kit he would pretend like he would shave his legs and that made Scotty not so happy. So after a talk with dad and shaving together Barrick has moved on to the face.

Last but not least Lilly and Liam turned 5 months old yesterday!! Yes you heard me 5 MONTHS!! Crazy I know!
