Smoochey has an ear infection. 3 points to Hiedi who called it like a month ago! We’ve been having a rough go with Emily for the last couple of months. She complains that her tummy hurts. I hadn’t seen her pull at her ears until yesterday. She was all whiny last night and an hour after I put her to bed she woke up screaming. Emily loves her sleep and doesn’t often do things like that, so I didn’t really know what to do. After a good snuggle we put her back to bed. She slept for a couple more hours and then woke up screaming again. From that point on she slept and woke up ever hour or so, and from about 5am on, she slept in our bed. It’s weird to have her in our bed because from the 4th day we had her at home she’s slept in her own room. Her noises made it so no one could sleep, so she’s very used to her own room. We all basically snoozed and cuddled with Emily until we decided that was enough screaming and took her to the ER at 7am. We waited an hour and a half to see the doctor. It’s never that long, but I guess there were 2 ladies having babies and thats a problem for huncity hospital. Emily fell asleep shortly after we got there and laid on the bed all sprawled out. She certainly didn’t look like a sick baby. I was worried that they would just send us home again and Emily would continue to complain about her tummy and we would be no further ahead. We ended up getting a doctor I’ve seen before, and I really like him. He thinks outside the box and is a bit oldschool, but sometimes that’s needed.

So antibiotics are go. I’m not a big fan, but I can’t see my muffin sick like this anymore. Poor little sunshine. Ear drops are her favorite too. *Insert sarcasm here*. So here begins the next couple of days of meds and cuddles.

On a lighter note, the spirit comes with power conference at our church this weekend is going well. I’m looking forward to tomorrow because I’ll be able to stay longer. AND, I think Marie baked some of her cookies for tomorrows snack! Yay my favorite. I’ll try to limit myself to 1 or 2, but it won’t be easy.  Well, I’m getting tired and I’m not sure where yesterday started and today ended, so I should go to sleep.
