We’re now entering our third straight week of sickness.

And I think we’re headed back to the pediatrician’s office this morning.  After almost a week on antibiotics, Alex is not really better.  We’re still getting up at least 2 times a night, most nights, to a shrieking little boy.  The only thing that helps are the ear drops we got for Erin.  And they only last a couple of hours.  So when he starts to wake back up…more screaming. 

Someone told me last night that it could just be drainage from the ears which sometimes hurts worse than the actual infections.  And it could be that.  But I’m not sure enough to wait another day (and night) or two and see.  I think I’m going to make sure that things are getting better (or not), and that means another trip to the doctor.

In other news…

We had a very busy weekend, but it was pretty good.

• Saturday was a birthday party for my dad in C-ville.  Family gatherings with all the babies are getting very LOUD!
• Sunday was church, grilled chicken for dinner, a bridal shower for Kimberly, and a relaxed evening with Eric.
• Yesterday was spent making pies (apple and chocolate meringue) and then heading to a Labor Day party hosted by a friend from church.  We knew no one, other than the hosts, and it was actually really nice to meet new people and do something different for a change!

And I think that’s all I’ve got for this morning.  Happy Tuesday!
