I took the children to the doctor on Friday afternoon, where breathing treatments and antibiotics were prescribed for Gus (the kid has not been on antibiotics since 2006), and where it was also discovered that Will has a hole in his ear drum. Probably from the tubes he had put in when he was 11 months old--and potentially a problem. Awesome. The pediatrician mentioned that he may "need a patch" in the future. Back to the ENT for us!
Now here it is, Monday morning, and both boys are still hacking away. They can't go to school, which means I get to spend today convincing them that they need to rest, even though they'd rather make a giant pile of pillows to jump on.
We're down to our last two pre-baby weeks, and sleep is getting harder and harder to come by. I feel as if I should be prowling around the house while everyone else is sleeping. Very restless, but not in a productive way. It's more of an I'm-over-this-pregnancy kind of moping, I think. Almost everything is ready for Superbaby, except that I can't bring myself to decide what to do with all the extra clothes I need to store. I now own three boys worth of clothing in a range of sizes (0-5T), and it seems a little overwhelming.
I'm hoping Superbaby will decide he wants to be born early.
ugh. i can't think of anything more un-fun than being 38 weeks pregnant and home with two sick kids. you have my sympathy! hope you are all feeling better soon.
