Terrible Week and we're done with Terrible Two's! Here we come Terrible Three's!































I love being a mommy of two precious girls under the age of 3, but man it would be lovely if I didn't have to keep getting up from the computer to get them out of things like: eating paper, coloring on the dining room table, getting into mommy's purse, stealing bananas off the kitchen counter, knocking over the air purifier and other various lamps. But I guess it's my own fault for leaving out my purse, paper and crayons for small children to get into.
This week has been another crazy, unexpected week as usual. This past Monday, I had to take both girls to the doctor in the afternoon and aparently they just had a cold (says the dr) and they should get over it without giving them prescription medications. They had both had coughs for a couple weeks and Cadence had a fever a few days before that. So, believing what the dr said, because he's a dr and dr's are supposed to know what they're doing, we went along our merry way without prescription medications and by Tuesday afternoon, Cadence had another fever. I called the dr and he said that we should just give her tylenol and nothing else because the fever should go away and the cold as well. Because a fever is just something you typically get when you have a cold.
So, believing what the dr said, I again listened to him and just gave her tylenol. I missed the 2nd half of work Wednesday also because Cadence couldn't go to daycare since she had a fever Tuesday. Yay! I was really just frustrated that they've both been sick this long and I wanted them to get better. On Wednesday, Keira complained about her throat hurting (probably from coughing for 2.5 weeks straight) and on Thursday she had a fever. Not high enough to keep her out of daycare on Friday, but I went ahead and took her back home because Kevin was off work. That night I took them both to a pediatric urgent care clinic and the dr said Keira had an ear infection in both ears, and that they both had sinusitis (sinus infections I think). This could have been fixed on Monday and my babies wouldn't have been sick on Keira's birthday. This really irritates me. I also could have not missed work Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning and been at an urgent care clinic spending $75.00/child until 7:00pm Thursday. Really frustrating week. Oh well, at least my beauties are feeling better already with their ammoxicillin they were put on last night.
Hopefully Keira will be up for roller skating, opening presents, and eating cake and pizza Saturday for her birthday party! I'm sure she'll be doing much better by then. She seems to be doing better already today.
I can't believe Keira is turning 3 today at 10:02pm! (9:02pm San Antonio, TX time!) It still feels like I just had her yesterday. I had a rough pregnancy with that one. The labor wasn't bad because I got an epidural as soon as I sat in the hospital bed. haha. But it was still rough because I was in labor with her for 16 hours. Anyway, here are a few pictures of her from newborn to age 3! It's good to look back!
