How can a week go by so quickly yet seem so long? Here's the rundown of our week:
Monday
Other then being the typical, painful Monday dropping Miles off at daycare and going to work after a wonderful weekend away from the rat race it snowed here. Mondays are the worst days for snow. Our commute home was over 2 hours resulting in us picking Miles up at daycare after 6:00 pm when technically the daycare closes at 6:00 - UGHH!
Wednesday
Miles' two little bottom teeth are getting so close to popping through his gums. We can clearly see white under his gums so when Miles cried almost all night, from 9:00 pm until 4:00 am (our alarms go off at 5:45 am), I thought that he was possibly in pain because of teething. We gave him tylenol but it didn't really seem to help. He's not typically a crier and this cry was different then the norm.
Thursday
After very little sleep we were off to daycare and work but daycare called late morning to say that Miles had spiked a fever and needed to be picked up. Daycare suspected that it was due to his teething too but I just had a nagging feeling it was another ear infection so we headed to the pediatrician's office again and after an exam and his left ear getting flushed out (not fun) he was diagnosed with another ear infection and is on another round of antibiotics. Now that he's older then 6 months he can take Motrin and Motrin saved us all Thursday night - he was pain free and we slept much better.
Friday
Luckily Fridays are my day off and Miles and I just chilled. My favorite moments with him are just cuddling on the couch, reading books and watching him rock and roll while playing on the floor.
Saturday
Miles and I did a morning BYOB (bring your own baby) yoga class. I love sharing this yoga bonding experience with him! Saturday night the Carlson family kindly had us over for a delicious and warm dinner of homemade soups. It was great to actually get out of the house on a weekend evening and we had a fun time chatting and hanging out with them. Thank you Carlsons!
Sunday
We spent the day with Rach, Graham and Corey at their house. Rachel and I made a trip to Trader Joe's and the baby cousins did a lot of hand holding and playing on the floor together - very cute. The boys are getting big so quickly - it amazes us continually. Super Bowl Sunday parties aren't what they used to be though with babies around. My family was on the road home by 6:15 to stay on schedule with Miles' 6:30-7:00 pm bedtime. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way though. Mike and I just prepared our lunches and Miles' bottles for the day tomorrow, Miles is sleeping peacefully in his crib and Mike is now watching the end of the game - a nice ending to an eventful week.
