What a week! To start the week, Caitlin woke up battling an ear infection. She kept holding her ear and when I asked her if her ear hurt, she said yes. I then asked her if her nose hurt and she said no so I was pretty sure that she understood what I was asking. I ended up taking Monday off work and taking her to the Doctor. Sure enough, she has a bad ear infection. We've had her on medicine and once the 10 days are over, we'll be taking her back in to have her ears checked again to make sure that the infection has cleared up. By Tuesday she was back to her old self and hasn't complained of her ears hurting since. She loves the medicine that she has to take and likes to use the syringe to take it herself. It smells like fruit so I imagine it must taste pretty good. :)
On Tuesday morning we had another sonogram and everything with Emma looks good. Yes, this time the first Doctor was able to confirm 100% that Emma is a girl! Emma changed positions for the 2nd Doctor and the we were unable to tell that time but judging by the first look, we're going to move forward convinced she's a girl. Her room is coming along and in the next few weeks I'll get some chair rail up and paint. Caitlin seems excited about Emma and loves to kiss Mommy's belly any time we tell her to give Emma a kiss. :) In one of the pictures Caitlin is even trying to be like Mommy by putting cream on her belly like Mommy. It was so cute to watch her.
This week Caitlin also got good news! She's been promoted to the "Older Toddlers" room at school! It looks like her new class is going to offer her a lot of activities and chances to learn. She's going with some of the kids she's with now so it should make the transition easy for her since she'll already know some of the kids in class.
To end the week, we've got a couple of stories about Caitlin's feet. This weekend we went shopping and got her new shoes since she was outgrowing the ones she had. We found a pair of pink Converse high-tops that were 1 size too big but were on sale for a great price so we picked them up for later. When we got home, Caitlin wanted nothing to do with the new pair of shoes that we got that were actually her size. She wanted to put her Converse on! She really likes them and when I pulled my pair out she got really excited as well. :) The other story about her foot happened last night and explains why this post is a day late. We're not sure what bit her but it looks like either an ant or mosquito bite. It swelled up quite a bit but luckily she didn't have any problems. We were both worried that we were going to have to take her to the hospital because at first it looked pretty bad and we weren't sure if it was a spider bite or what! We kept monitoring her temperature and she never got a fever and never started having any problems breathing or anything so we decided to wait it out. The swelling eventually went down and she seems like she's doing better today.
As you can see, last week was quite a week from start to finish. This week I'm on call for the first time for my new job so hopefully it'll be quiet. Hope everyone has a great week!
