Monday
Monday we drove back from Green Bay. When we got home that evening, Kelsey seemed a little warm. Sure enough, she had a low-grade temp. She has been cutting her eye teeth for what seems like forever and so we just assumed that is what it was from. However, she has also had a cough for a week now.
Tuesday
After a long night with little sleep, Daddy stayed home with her on Tuesday and took her in to the doctor. They checked her ears since she is infamous for getting ear infections while teething, but they looked ok. Her lungs sounded fine and her temperature had gone away by the time she got to the clinic. The doctor said it is probably viral and to let it run its course. She still seems to have a cough, but no more fever. With all the H1N1 stuff out there, I guess it is better to be safe than sorry.
Wednesday
Wednesday brought a whole new kind of weird to our house. I had gone into the computer room to print off the blog from October and thought I saw something move across the floor, but I convinced myself it was nothing. Later that night Matt called to me from downstairs to come down. Sure enough, he saw something skitter across the floor too! We had a mouse in the house! Disgusting! To make matters worse, I was not a very good helper because I was so grossed out. We called Matt Ginskey over to come and help move furniture so Mattey could catch the thing. I should have video taped. Our basement looked like a huge mess! We moved every piece of furniture and the darn mouse was nowhere to be found. So Mattey made a run to Wal-Mart to pick up some traps and I slept with one eye open that night. In the morning, we found the mouse stuck in a trap. Thank goodness! EW! Since then, I have thoroughly cleaned my house and still feel like I am constantly checking the floor. I associate a mouse with a dirty, old college house, not a nice home that is well kept. Dave did find a small hole chewed by our air conditioning unit outside, so he patched that up for us and hopefully we won't have anymore unexpected guests! On
Thursday
Thursday I was up in the cities for a workshop which meant getting up extra early and a long day of driving. Mattey had his last team dinner that evening due to their playoff game on Friday.
Friday
Friday was another exciting day. First, Mattey had his playoff game to go to state vs. Lakeville North. Unfortunately, they did not win. The crowd for Owatonna was great and the boys actually stuck with them and made the game close, but did not pull it off. It was another great football season for Mattey. It is always bittersweet when it comes to an end. I am excited to see more of Mattey, but sad that his team did not go to state, too. While at the game, I got a call that my sister, Jolene, had her baby. This is her third child. Leia Christina(pronounced Leah) was born around 7:00pm and weighed 7lbs. 2oz. and was 21 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing well. Due to strict hospital regulations because of all the H1N1 stuff, we did not go to the hospital to see the baby.
Saturday
My dad and Chris did come from Pulaski on Saturday though to meet their 7th grandchild. Lucky for me, they stayed with us in Owatonna on Saturday night. Since this will be the last time I see them before Christmas, Vickie helped me (well she did most of the work actually) to make a turkey meal. I had never made a turkey before, so it was a new experience. We spent the evening at Dave and Vickie's and even squeezed in a game of Farkle. It needs to be said that when my dad and Matt's mom get together, they are two peas in a pod and the jokes don't stop coming. It was a very fun night. Here are Daddy and Kelsey putting some money in Kelsey's piggy bank on Saturday afternoon.
Sunday
Sunday morning we were up bright and early to eat breakfast before my dadand Chris had to head back. I feel very lucky to have seen my dad twice in a week! Here is Kelsey saying cheese when you take out the camera. You can see she is in mid-word as the picture is taken.
We are planning to go meet Leia this week and I will post more pictures of her then.
Have a great week everyone!
