Well, what was supposed to be a Well Child Check didn't happen. My poor baby has a double ear infection and the right ear is so bad it is bulging bad. She wasn't tugging at her ears at all. You could tell she didn't feel good, but with the coughing and runny nose I figured it was a cold. I felt TERRIBLE...I couldn't believe it was an ear infection. She has made it 6 months before getting sick, but still. Because of the history with Shelby and her having to get tubes put in, we will need to watch Alexis, but she could go down that road too...I hope this isn't a trend we are getting ready for though. They put her on amoxicilin and that will hopefully clear it up. We go back in 3 weeks for an ear check and hopefully her Well Child Check....I am just grateful we got her shots done a couple of weeks ago.
She weighs in at 14 lbs, 2 oz and is about 24 1/2" long (she was measured in February and was 25", so somewhere our measurements are off a bit). She is growing very well...she is in the lower percentiles in each category, but everything is in proportion, so no worries. I picked up some State 2 meats for her to begin on...Ham, Beef, Turkey and Chicken. I'm sure she will enjoy it, but for now she is just a snuggle bug and I don't want her to be hurting when she eats...last night wasn't good at dinner time. We will see...she is asleep on Brad's chest as I type, but I hope she gets to feeling better real soon!!!
Shelby has the nasty crud too now, so I got her some cough medicine that will hopefully help her when she sleeps. Crossing my fingers anyways!! I will let you know how the next appointment goes.

Poor babies! Poor mommy! It's no fun when the babes are sick. Don't you just wish you could beat off sickness with a stick? Hope everyone is feeling better soon!
That really stinks! Charley had an ear infection about 6 months ago, and I was ready to pull my hair out. He was so miserable...which makes the parents miserable too. It was good seeing ya the other day. Hope you guys get better!
