Ear Infection =(

So after Avery was fussing and crying for two days straight I decided it was time to go see her doctor. Luckily, her pedi's office is open on Saturdays so I took her Saturday morning. The doctor was awesome (our regular one wasn't there) and she confirmed that Avery did in fact have an ear infection in both ears. I had to hold her down as she dug in her ears to take a better look and my poor little girl was crying so hard she started hyperventilating. It was so awful.

I gave her tylenol as soon as we got home and started her on her antibiotics. She is already feeling SO much better. My happy little girl is returning!! I just hope she doesn't have ear infections like I did as a child. I had them so much I had to have tubes put in, then the tubes caused a problem and I had to have surgery in the 3rd grade!

I think Avery may be starting her 4 month wakeful stage. She has started waking up around 6am to eat and sometimes she is up for the day. I am not used to this because she used to wake up at 8am to eat then go back to sleep until 11am! Oh well, she is still sleeping from 10pm-6am and that is a lot more sleep than most mothers I know are getting!

Her latest updates: She weighs 15 lbs 1 oz and is 24 1/2 inches long. She has doubled in weight since birth!! She has also started blowing raspberries! Spit goes flying and she makes the funniest face. It is adorable.

Billy and I still can't get over how lucky we are to be her parents!
