When it rains it pours..

A hepatitis shot
Pink eye medicine
Yeast infection cream
Amoxicillin for an ear infection
Flouride vitamins 2x

These are the things that I ended up getting at my children's "well check" which was apparently not so well! Kori is 39 inches and 34 lbs, Kaleb is 27.5 inches and 18 lb 3 oz, and they are both up to par on everything they need to be.

I knew that Kaleb had pink eye. His eye began to get goopy the day before and when he woke up yesterday morning it was crusty and red. I however didn't know that I would have to fight with my daughter to get her arm out of her sleeve and hold her hands while they have her a shot. I also had no idea that my son had an ear infection...he showed no signs of an ear infection.  I suspected that Kaleb's yeast infection was coming back...I just wasn't sure what it was exactly. So I started using regular diaper rash cream. Anyway, this isn't even the "icing on the cake" to my day.

Kaleb did not want to nap all day yesterday. Finally for the third time I laid him down for a nap and decided I would just let him fuss for a few minutes. Well his fussing got quiet and then all the sudden he started wailing. Shawn runs upstairs and he has blood all over his mouth, inside his mouth, on his shirt and on his sheet. I'm not exactly sure what happened..I can only guess that somehow he fell and he managed to split the piece of skin that connects your top lip to your gums. I gave him some ibuprofen and I laid him down with me and watched a movie while he took a nap. He went to sleep almost immediately and slept for twelve hours!! At first I got kind of worried, and thought maybe he got too much ibuprofen?? (I always worry even if the medicine is measured out perfectly) Then I decided..my kid NEVER sleeps like this so it is time to take advantage!

Now this morning, I expected for him to have a fat lip and a goopy eye but he has neither. :) I am really just hoping that today goes a little better than yesterday.
