Nashville: Day Three

Today didn't start off so hot.

Jackson was up last night from 10:30 to 2:30. When I finally got him to settle down, he only slept until 8. I took his temp and he had a low grade fever. We cancelled our morning plans with Erin (and Elizabeth) and Pauline (and Rachel), and by 9:00, Jackson was back upstairs for a morning nap. Two and a half hours later, he woke up for lunch. Shortly after lunch, he was back in bed for another two hours. Needless to say, he was one tired little boy!

His fever broke this morning, but it was back up again before dinner. I thought the fever might have to do with teething, but he is coughing a lot. If tomorrow starts out like today, we will be heading to the doctor in the morning.

Though his little illness put a damper in our morning plans, it didn't hinder our evening! Net, Drubby, and Uncle Melvin came over to play. They were all going to help my mom watch Jackson while I went out to dinner with Ashley. It was great seeing them for a few minutes until I headed out to meet Ash.

We changed our original plans to meet up in Green Hills so I could be closer to home in case Jackson got worse. We tried a little Mexican place up the street from my parents. It was quiet which was nice and the food was pretty good as well.

I had a wonderful time with Ashley. We talked wedding, jobs, family, friends and old times - My favorite topics! I love being with her and miss nights like this so much! I am glad we made time to spend some quality time together! Next time we see each other we will be heading to the beach for her bachelorette party – Whoo Hoo!

I promised my mom I would be home by 8 to get Jackson to bed. I was so surprised to see that Net and Drubby had stayed the entire evening. Evidently, Jackson and Drubby entertained each other all night long!

I just finished giving Jackson a bath and putting him down to bed. He's still coughing, but hopefully, he will be able to get a good night sleep and wake up better than ever tomorrow!
