We had a busy Memorial Day weekend, but not in the traditional camping or boating kind of way. Jackson got his first fever on Thursday. The poor guy felt awful, and since it was his first fever, Matt and I took him to his pediatrician on Friday. We probably would have waited another day or two, but we didn't want him to suddenly get worse over the holiday weekend—then his pediatrician wouldn't be there to hold our hand and walk us through it! His pediatrician told us that fevers are nothing to worry about. Fevers help the body fight infections; a virus, in Jackson's case. He gave us other wise, sage advice and sent us gently on our way. Lo-and-behold, Jackson's fever spiked to 103.5 Friday night, and then slowly, but surely went back to normal by Sunday. Today he was a little more sleepy and fussy than usual, but almost completely better! I'm happy to say that we all survived Jackson's first fever, and came out unscathed!
On Sunday, Matt and I decided we would go LOOK at living room furniture; not BUY, just LOOK and get ideas. The couches we had were well worn hand-me-downs. We've talked for several years about how nice it would be to buy new furniture, but we had other things we wanted to spend our money on and we couldn't decide what kind of style we should go for, etc., etc. Anyway, we were just going to LOOK at furniture on Sunday, but of course, we found some that we both liked and it was fairly inexpensive, so we BOUGHT. Before you could say, “So long hand-me-down sofas!”, we had our old living room sofa and loveseat out on the curb with “free” signs on them.
