fell off.

Ok, so I kinda fell off the bus. Sorry. Since I'm on the wrong computer for pictures, this will be a wordy one. I felt the need to catch everyone up.

So, my last blog was about repeating trips to the doctor. I just want you all to know that my amazing skills of going to the doctor repeatedly continued after that post. Exactly 10 days later, on Brooklyn's LAST day of amoxocillan, she woke up COVERED in spots. Me, being the knowledgable mom I am, worried it was chicken pox, SO off to the doctor we went. She had school (it being Wednesday) and a birthday part at our (grandma's) house that night that would've been devastating to miss. I had to know she wasn't contagious. Turns out, she allergic to amoxicillan. It took 10 days for her body to build up the antibodies and she was just covered in spots. Needless to say, she did not get the last dose and spent the next five days on claritin. Luckily, it all cleared right up.

Last friday, Julianne woke up coughing and VERY wheezy and I was seriously worried that the RSV had come back. Since Mason had been coughing for a few days, I just took them both. So, by this time it's been three weeks since an actual appointment and I've been to the dr. 5 times (include the appt.). She got some albuterol to clear her lungs. She most likely has a different cold and still has fluid from her infection. Mason's was just a cold and he had fluid, too but niether of them were infected (whew).

Right now, I'm crossing my fingers I don't have to go again before Friday, which is when Julianne's appt. is to see if she's gaining more weight after drinking milk. Turns out she has, which I was ecstatic over! When we went on Friday, she'd gained somewhere around a pound and that was only in the 3 weeks since her check-up. She's been super fussy and clingy, though so I'm not really holding my breath...

That's pretty much what I do these days. Take Brooklyn to school....take anyone and everyone to the dr.... Sew a little here and there. (a post about that later) and dilly dally around. In the last few day's I've read Pride and Prejudice again. It's my favorite, and I've been reading the Golden Compass Series. Love it!

Posts I'm intending to do are: The sewing adventures (as if you all haven't had enough of that...) and Brooklyn's first Adams Elementary Valentines Tea... I'll get to those soon. Until then, Happy Valentines, everyone. May your weekend be filled with joy :)
