Later that day...
Jadyn had her first trip to the Urgent Care. This was a totally new experience for me, and totally terrifying. I was planning on going to the temple with some friends that night. She had been a little lethargic with a small fever, but it was nothing scary. She started getting worse and worse. Eventually she was barely responsive except for a constant, tired scream in pain. I checked her temperature right before I was about to leave and wouldn't ya know? It was 105! I sent my friends on their way, let Jace with Jaxon and raced her to the Urgent Care.
I realize she was in no real danger, but I had never seen her like this before. I felt like it was something out of a movie where my baby was falling in a out of consciousness, I was weaving between cars as fast as I could while trying to keep her awake ( I don't know why I thought she needed to stay awake. They always have to in the movie!) I was so scared for her.
The beautiful thing about your kids getting sick is you get a chance to REALLY hold them close. They let you, and you really want to because of how incredibly sad they are. I sat in the waiting room holding her as tight as I could the whole time.
We finally got in with a nurse who checked her ears, announced "Ear infecntion!" Dosed her with some Ibuprofen and sent us on our way. Ha! What I little thing, but it made a huge impact on me. Don't ever downplay your experiences as a mother. They are yours no matter how big or small and they all matter. This one mattered to me.
And now, a little treat for you: a video of how funny Jadyn got after her meds kicked in...

Day 90: Three months old
Hey! I'm only exactly a month behind now! Ok....that's pretty bad.
I really am going to make this private P.S. just as soon as I can muster up the energy to gather all your emails. So far, not happening any time soon. Maybe tomorrow?
Anyways, He is 3 months old! Wow, the time is basically just non existent this time around. I took a little time to reminice back to when Jadyn was three months old. I can still remember me in my mom's family room, propping her up with pillows and trying out various blankets as backdrops as I attempted my first official photo shoot. Granted, I had done a few engagement shoots in college, but I basically just assumed I was my friends' best option considering they had zero $ to their name. It was after I went through her three-month shoot that I decided I was pretty good at taking pictures. I know that this is the story of every Mom to Photographer Mom, but it's an inspirational time to take pictures. The funny thing is, looking back now I really don't think they were that good! But I was so proud then, I took my pink point-and-shoot everywhere.
Jace believed in me enough that he bought me a digital SLR, my dear Canon Rebel that I adore (He also needed it for his photography class ehem!) And since then he hasn't really been able to pry it from my fingers. I have had some amazing mentors and the pleasure of shadowing some phenomenal photographers. In fact, I've learned enough now to know that I really am so small and I have so very much more to learn. Maybe I'll always just consider myself an amateur. As small as my growth may be, it's fun to see that there is some growth. It means it is possible for me to get better.
Do you see the difference?

Day 89: So there's this.
Uh Oh. I lost an SD card. I'm sure I put it in a very useful spot that I would not forget about.
So...this is all I could muster up from today. He's lettin a few snaps down...for cool points.

Day 88: So that's what happened to my day.
Jace went on an overnight backpacking trip with a new friend. He said he'd be home "super early" but well all know that didn't happen. So this is what he got to wake up to.
In all honestly I was happy to let him give himself a little vacation and have some "man" time. We all need a breath of fresh air every once in a while.
