I guess this is being a Mom...nothing is about you anymore...but that is alright because Jack is so cute he does deserve all the attention...I just wish it wasn't because he was sick. Monday night Jack cried the ENTIRE NIGHT! We tried everything and then when he would finally fall asleep...lightening, thunder, and hail would wake him up. He kept puling at his ears and would only fall asleep sitting up in his swing (good thing he is so skinny and still fits in it!) so Tuesday morning exhausted, I sat with the phone in my hand until 8:30 when I could call the doctor. Our appointment was at 11:30 (my hair appointment was at 12:30 across town- YIKES).
Dr. Mathieu's said his ears were fine but that he had a sinus infection. When I mentioned the sores around his nose he said that when the nose drainage is the color and consistency of Jack's that it is usually bacteria related. So off to my hair appointment we go with antibiotic script in tow. We managed to make it and by the time we got to the pharmacy another sore had popped up. I won't go into details but these things are nasty! After being on the roads all day Jack and I were glad to be home and I was ready for my birthday night on the town.
Here is Jack helping me open my birthday cards. We kept looking for one that said Happy Birthday Jennifer-Get Well Jack but no such luck. He was just as happy though helping me tear them open and really enjoyed dancing to Blake's since it played "Happy Birthday!"
"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday Dear Mommy, Happy Birthday to you!"
"I know you don't want my germs Mom but it tickles when you kiss my ear."
"Enough already Mom...go out with your friends and enjoy what is left of your Birthday. I have a little present for Dad and it doesn't involve watching ESPN or sleeping."
Angela, Ashley, Morgan, and prego Lisa (my designated driver) took me out to Kelly's Eastside in Plano for drinks, dinner, and they even had a cake with the number 29 (not 92) candles on it. It's been awhile since I've gone out to drink at a restaurant with the girls and I HAD A BLAST! Can't wait to do it again soon, but on a night when Nick is around to tend to Jack the next day. Thanks Girls-Love ya!
Once I got home Jack had finally settled down for the night and did well (the house on the other hand was a DISASTER). The sores got worse this morning so Dr. Mathieu's called in an ointment to put on them instead of Neosporin and we are just monitoring fever and how he is acting to make sure the bacteria doesn't enter his bloodstream....scary sounding huh?! He is in better sprits and we've decided we are going to skip swimming and Gymboree (even though he isn't contagious) so that he can get back to feeling good. Now we have Nick to tend to because he too is under the weather and spent this afternoon at Dr. Wright's office for the throat funk. Good Times!
