Houston-We have a problem!

Well, we are either going to have to put Sophie in her crib in her own room or move her port a crib into our room. She has decided that it is a must to sleep on her tummy. I put her down for a nap this afternoon in her bed and this is how I found her a few minutes later:
So tonight I had her asleep in my arms and tried to lay her into her cradle. She would have no part of it. She started flipping and trying to turn over. So I moved the baby back support thingy out of the way and flipped her over and she was and still is as happy as can be!

Today I found Sophie and about 8 nurses loving on her!


So Sophie hasn't been acting herself again lately. So I decided to take her back to the doctor today.


Symptoms:

Sleepless nights!

No appetite

Slight fever

Runny green, bloody nose

Fussiness

And number one-pulling her ears!


Verdict: Double Ear Infections! Yes I know, we were just at the doctors 15 days ago to be exact. He said that he thought that maybe the antibiotics just weren't strong enough so we got STRONGER antibiotics this time around. Poor little girl has been sick enough in her not even 5 months of life! We need to get her a break from being sick!


So while sitting in the waiting room for over 30 minutes and no telling how long in the actual room waiting for the Doctor, I needed to use the restroom! How do you use the restroom when you are by yourself with a small baby and you don't have anywhere to sit them?

Well, when the doctor finally left, I just asked the nurse (that I know very well from being there at least 2 times a month_ if she would mind holding her while I used the restroom. She was more than thrilled to love on my sweet baby for a minute or two. When I came out of the restroom, there were around 8 nurses standing around oohing and aahing over Sophie. But when she spotted her Mommy--that bottom lip came out quickly!

That girl sure does love her Mommy!

Now to get Sophie well...

Oprah? and Christmas in April?

A few things I have overheard in my house:

1. Madalyn told Loraly Friday to move out of the way and be quiet because she was watching Oprah??!!
(the Jonas Brothers were on there--but since when did my 7 year old know who the Jonas Brothers are?)

2. The girls decided to watch "The Polar Express" Saturday night. And ever since Loraly has been singing Christmas songs (not that this is unusual in our house-they love Christmas music, movies, and especially singing Christmas songs), and they have even made their CHRISTMAS LISTS! They decided that their American Girl dolls need furniture! Are you kidding me?! Have you ever priced American girl furniture? Because they don't want just any of the furniture, they want their dolls to have bunk beds to match the ones that they also want for Christmas!

Boy--Santa better have a big bag for the FURNITURE my girls want!
