Jack's first road trip

This last weekend, Brent and I went home to New Mexico to bless Jackson. With much consideration we decided to leave in the evening hoping Jack would sleep most the way since his bedtime is fairly early anyway. So Wednesday I got everything packed and ready to go so we could leave soon after Brent coming home from work. Everything went as good as expected traveling with a two month old. Jack didn't cry, however he didn't sleep either. He was wide awake when we arrived in Farmington at 2:30 in the morning. That's when the problems started! So I already mentioned what time we got in, well we didn't get to sleep until 5:30! For anyone who knows me, sleep is a priority and an absolute necessity for me to first of all- function, and second of all-be happy. Seriously I treasure my bed time. Oh I forgot to say that on the way down I started to get a sore throat, nothing big. The next morning I definitely felt sick, I had a bit of a fever and a worse sore throat. Jack was hardly rested so he was extremely grumpy, and I could tell he wasn't feeling well. I was so sad for my family to meet him for the first time and not see him his happy self. It was still fun showing him off, but it was stressful because he was pretty fussy. ahhh! Later that evening Jack was feeling really hot so we took his temp and it was over 100 degrees F. We decided to take him to an after hours medical clinic, where they told us he probably picked up some bug, and instructed us on what to do: take Tylenol. Genius! ( no, that's not fair they were really helpful.) Okay so where are we now? sick mom, sick baby, and yep you guessed it sick daddy. Later that night getting into bed Brent started feeling bad too-this vacation wasn't turning out so fun. I can't complain too much, I mean I had felt worse before and I was determined to still do things and enjoy mi familia; but it was hard. They all helped soooo much, from my mom and dad getting up in the night and Nona and grandpa(Brent's parents) watching him for an afternoon to my sister changing his diaper. Thanks guys! We blessed him on Sunday in my parents ward, it was beautiful. Brent did such an amazing job; I am so grateful to Brent for being who he is and being able to bless our son. It was great to have so much family there and be able to share that with them. I wanted to post a picture of Jack in his blessing outfit but I don't know how to get it off the camcorder, perhaps later. So to sum it all up, our first road trip didn't go how we had hoped but hey it could have been a lot worse, and of course Monday morning, the day we left for Utah we all were in tip top condition!
