Around we go

Well we are at it again, back to the doctor again tomorrow to get Abby checked out. Abby was running another temp of 101 when she got up from her nap this afternoon. When the nurse finally got around to calling me back she told me that Abby was supposed to be on the antibiotic for 10 days. Yes... yes I knew that. And no if it was going to be effective she shouldn't be complaining of ear pain and running a temp again.

So... I'm not a nurse yet but I do know a few things about these antibiotics they prescribe. If there was ever something that would make you want to know your meds it's having one of your babies on it.

I finally convinced her that Abby needed to be seen and of course the only time they had was with a different doctor tomorrow. The doctor that saw Abby last time she had an ear infection... and yelled at her. Awesome.

I need to switch clinics. I just didn't realize how complicated that could be.

On that same note. The other therapist lady that I love was completely shocked that Abby wasn't going to Occupational Therapy any more. Not that Abby hasn't improved or gotten a lot better. It's just that we aren't done yet. She thought the clinic we see might be new at it and just had run beyond their knowledge. She told me to give it a couple of weeks and if I thought Abby might benefit from more therapy we could take her to another more experienced place.

The ups and downs of it all. I'm not sure what I think about it yet.

K&K are finally asleep after fighting it for 2 hours. Kiley had me up for an hour last night but we are slowly adjusting to them being together in the nursery. I hope they keep getting better! Truth is I'm a little scared to go back to school. I was starting to feel content with my life as it was. 

But I guess that's life... you never get to stand still for very long. Something new is always around the corner.

Tidbits:
I got my TB test done today... as the nurse put the cottonball/tape over the wheel Abby put her arm out because she wanted a shot too. The nurse looked at her and said "now that's a first!"

Driving in the car today Abby was singing "The wheels on the bus go round and round..." She loves the "round and round' part. I asked her what the babies on the bus did "Waaaaah' She said :o)

Abby was driving me a little crazy saying "Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom..." After many "What Abby!'s" She came close and said "I love you too"

Talk about melt your heart....

I found Kiley & Kara standing in their cribs, looking across the room at each other and smiling/laughing at one another. It's moments like that I know only mother's of twins will get to experience. And it makes up for some of the harder things we go through :o)

I love them all so much

I am convinced I can self-diagnose and prescribe 98% of the time. The urgent care lady didn't even seem familiar with mastitis... oy vey.
