tornadoes, strep throat and moving in!

Friday was officially move in day which took a different turn when Louisville was hit with some severe weather. Indiana got the worst of it which ended up being some of the worst tornadoes in history. The pictures are absolutely devastating, we were very lucky. Daycare wanted all parents to pick up their kids at 12:30 which meant our little helper would be with us during the beginning of move in day...not so easy with H. Luckily she does love her playroom and would play for a little while by herself so we could get some things in the house. Jeremy and his mom had so much unloaded and were on a roll until the weather hit. My brothers fiance and her parents stopped by before they headed to dinner and brought the cutest things for Hannah and little man. Even the cutest bib that says, "I love my big sister Hannah". How CUTE! We decided to head to dinner after they left and call it a night and start fresh and early on Saturday.
Saturday was chilly but sunny and we got so much done! We got both pods unloaded which was my goal for Saturday. Then it was trying to get everything squared away inside. We also picked up our furniture and mattress- which I love the furniture and the way it looks in the house. We got a chair & 1/2 instead of a love seat and its amazing! Its huge! I can see many nights reading to both kiddos in this chair! Saturday was a busy day but we had a little miss who wasnt in the best mood all day. She seemed pretty off but we kept unpacking and trying to keep her happy. But around 8:30 she just seemed a little warm (I feel so bad now cause our thermometer was at my parents house) so I never really took her temperature. Then she was shaking like she had the chills. We just decided since most urgent cares close at 9 we better be safe than sorry and take her. On the way there she was getting so much worse. She was so hot and miserable when we got there. Her temp was 102 and they decided to test her for the flu and strep. Poor baby had strep!! This is the first time she has ever had strep but it seemed consistent with how she was acting all day. We filled her antibiotic and picked up lots of ibuprofen. There was no way we were going to let her fever get higher. Since she's had those seizures we are always in panic mode at the start of any fever with her. But she slept pretty well and and her fever broke in the middle of the night. All day Sunday she was nice and cool. We had alot of projects to get done on Sunday and accomplished alot. Sunday night was our first night just as our little family of three in our new house. It was SO fun to just settle into our new house together. We all woke up this morning beginning our new routines and we had a really good morning. Hannah was in a good mood and we got out of the house in a timely fashion :) I took off today to get some random things done- like restock our kitchen (Hello...EXPENSIVE!) but we had to do it. I plan on trying to get the master under some sort of control and also go through alot of our clothes. My mom knows of a donation site for the small little towns who lost everything. Im glad to do that instead of hauling it all to goodwill.
Speaking of mothers...there is absolutely NO WAY we could have done what we did this weekend without our mothers. Between scrubbing showers, taking care of Hannah, unpacking our kitchen and closets, putting things away and bringing in hundreds of boxes, Jeremy's mom and my mom were so much help I cant even put it into words. My mom always says, you'll do it for your kids. And I know she's right but they devoted so much of their time to us this weekend we are so lucky to have such awesome moms :)
We woke up to almost 4 inches of snow this morning- what crazy weather!! Only in KY does it go from 70 and tornados, to 60 and sunny, to 4 inches of snow. Thankfully the roads were fine and we made it to daycare ok!
I have a few pictures from Saturday and hope to have some after pictures when we finally get this house in order! It is coming along and definitely feels like a home :)
H had so much fun going through boxes of her old toys- it was like she thought they were all new!



Poor baby was so sick and miserable she crashed :(
