My Hero!!

I already knew that my husband rocks, but today proved it hands-down! Here's how it went:

Caleb's not been feeling well for a couple days now. Finally, after a day of no eating, constant coughing, and a fever, I called the Dr. They could get me in at 3:15, but it was already 2:45. Both Stephen and Jonathan were asleep. I called Jeremy, and he volunteered to come home or meet me at the Dr.'s office to help out. During our conversation, Jonathan woke up, so I decided I could swing it myself. I told Jeremy not to worry about it...that we'd be fine.

I woke Stephen up, and we rushed out the door. Caleb was crying nearly the whole time. When we got there, I unstrapped them and tried to coax Caleb out of the van door. He was crying and insisting he was "not sick." I was holding Jonathan this whole time. Caleb then started asking me to carry him. Clearly, I could not with Jonathan in my arms and my baby carrier out of reach. Caleb, with big tears on his cheeks, finally said, "Can Stephen carry me?" Feeling utter sympathy, I grabbed him and attempted to waddle my way across the parking lot with a baby on each hip, diaper bag, and a 4 year old dodging cars!=)

And then...I saw him! Yep, Jeremy had ignored all my "I'll be okay" comments and came to the Dr. anyways. He immediately took Jonathan, and I could give Caleb the attention he needed. Jeremy also fed Jonathan while I went back with Caleb. Yes, he was my hero! I most likely would have lost one of the boys if Jeremy had not shown up!=)

Now, all is well. Caleb has a "cold," that I'm not convinced is really a cold, but the Dr. did give him a cough medicine to use at night. And I am realizing how awesome of a husband and Daddy God has blessed me with! I love you Jeremy (and you're welcome for me posting the goofiest picture I could find)!=)
