Zoey was baptised a week ago, surrounded by many friends and family. It was an eventful weekend. Let's start out with Saturday. By this day our house was full of the Nyhlen family--grandma and grandpa, Uncle Rob and Aunt Nicole, and the two dogs Gracie and Misty--there was action everywhere you looked. If you remember it was quite a muggy day (as they all have been this summer) and even with the air conditioning on everyone was hot. So it seemed very strange that by 9pm that evening I was chilled and couldn't have enough blankets on me to keep me warm. I was promptly sent to bed. By 11pm, I still was chilled and very achy. Tyler, my hero, called the nurse's line and was told to take me to Urgent Care. Fortunately, we had four babysitters available in the house--it was Grandma who got the call. Tyler and I went to Mercy Hospital and waited around. When the nurse finally took my vitals, I had a temperature of 102.4 degrees--as I had suspected I had a case of Mastitis (blocked ducts in the breast due to breast feeding/weaning). The doctor was very nice and started my antibotics by IV that early morning and gave me pain medication. So by 3am my fever had gone away and I was feeling better. We went back home to try to get some sleep so that we could enjoy Zoey's big day.
Sunday morning came and we dressed Zoey in her baptism dress--the same dress that I wore when I was baptised almost 30 years ago. She looked so cute! The baptism was beautiful and Zoey was so good--as always. Then all our family came back to our house to enjoy some food and conversation. All in all it was a wonderful day--my only wish is that I would have been feeling better. It took about a day or so for me to start feeling like myself again.
Thank you to all our family who came to Zoey's baptism--it was so nice to see everyone. It meant so much to us that you were there.
