I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues. This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday! YIKES! Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested. We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).
