well, after 2 hours, we are back from the doctor's. i [heart] our ped- she's very hippie and smart and "mothering"ish, and it's a good thing, because we had to wait SO LONG in the exam room. i wouldn't have waited so long for any other doctor. thank heavens grandma was there- i don't know how i would have managed that whole time with 2 sick kiddos needing cuddling on my cramped lap.
ds#1 has been so reluctant to lay down lately due to an ear infection. ds#2 has the start of an ear infection, too. ear infections are totally new to our family. doc says they're secondary to the sinus infection that has probably been kicking around in their systems for the last few weeks, even though we've only started to see symptoms in the last few days. all the goop in their heads over the last few weeks drained into their ears, creating the ear infection that way. i guess ds#1 also has an eye infection from all of the sinusy stuff squishing around in his poor head.
so we have some meds for the kids now. i'm normally not crazy about antibiotics, and i would have gladly let the cough and runny nose thing run its course, but the ear infection sucks, and i'm eager to help my kids get relief. hopefully, a few doses of meds will let us ALL get some sleep again.
on an up note, at the pharmacy, when some random guy there with his kid asked me when i was due and i said "a week and a half," he didn't believe me, and said that i looked "absolutely fantastic."
put a silly spring in my step. it's a stupid little thing, but it made me smile.
now, to try and figure out how to get dinner to cook faster...
i wonder who's giving birth this evening! not me!
