Today was a little crazy but not too bad. I took all three girls into the doctor alone which can be a bit scary. Thanks to my super awesome stroller I am now dubbing "Hawk" (Because it's yellow and black and looks like Hawkeye colors... yes I'm that mom) things went ok. Abby sat on one side, Kara in the other and Kiley rode in the Beco. I was a little worried that it wouldn't fit through the doors or into the exam rooms (if you have seen the clinic you would understand) but it maneuvered beautifully! It had a great rain shield which was awesome considering it rained ... again. I got nearly as many compliments on the stroller as I did on the twins... but the girls always win out. BTW Abby also loves the stroller which in my book makes it worth every single cent.
Abby was running a low grade temp when I brought her in. The doctor said there are two options. 1) It is a cold virus that is going around and this was the first day aka the worst day... or 2) he stated that RSV is really going around right now and they might have that. 3-4 days is when it peaks. He seemed to be fairly optimistic that because they got it before and not that long ago that they might still have some immunity built up against it. He said to keep an eye on Abby's cough and give her a neb if she starts to get wheezy but for now give her Tylenol/Motrin for the fever/feeling icky. And her ears looked ok by the way so no ear infection ( I think I will be forever paranoid about her having ear infections after I let her go so long with the last one)
While we are on medical updates I may be switching formulas with Kiley and Kara. I don't think it is agreeing with their little tummies. Kiley has also started breaking out in a rash on her face after I feed her from the bottle. I'm still only giving them a bottle once in awhile and have really pulled back since we started having issues. I talked with the clinic and they will probably try two other types of formula to see if they like them better.
We went to the mall after the doctor's appointment. I really just needed a little time out of the house and because it has been so rainy (and cold!) I couldn't take my girls outside. We ended up walking around the mall for an hour and a half. The surprising thing? I didn't buy a thing! Ok I bought lunch for Abby and I but that was under ten bucks. :) She was so cute sitting in the stroller munching on her chicken nuggets and apple fries. She loved going for a ride and she did so great! She even helped to put Kara's pacifier in when it fell out. (Another bonus!) Kiley and Kara took naps while we looked around. It was a nice break but time to go home!
Abby sang along to one of the Kutless songs that was on the radio while we drove on the way home it was so cute. She kept catching the last few words "Jesus coooomes" And would sing that whenever it came to that point in the chorus. She really does love music! When we got home Abby ended up taking a 3 1/2 hour nap, Kara took a 2 hour nap and Kiley took a 2 hour nap... slightly staggered but enough to allow me to lay down for an hour or so. It was nice! Rainy day naps are the best.
K&K helped.
