3 hours later...

I'm done at the clinic with the girls! Shelby was up most of the night with coughing and a fever. But of course, every time I went in there I was greeted with a smile and giggles....go figure. So, little Shelbs has another ear infection! Boggles my mind since Thursday I had her ear rechecked from the second ear infection and it was clear. Oh well! Halle had to have a chest x-ray done. Very interesting since she very much so dislikes being at the doctor. But, I have to admit, she tried her best and she did a very good job for the most part. Actually, the worst part about the trip was waiting for the prescription to be filled. With all of those enticing boxes, bags and bottles right at child level....I mean really, what were they thinking when they put those shelves in?
The doctor said he would have bet she had pneumonia, but the x-ray showed bronchitis more than anything.

So, both girls are home, Shelby's sleeping and Halle's going there shortly, and they both have had their first dose of antibiotics for the day! Whooopie!

Poor kiddos! I hope the meds kick in soon and they are feeling better. Yes, the shelves at stores are designed for maximum chaos with toddlers, aren't they?

Ahh yes, the clinic. We were there too today--only two hours though and thankfully, a negative strep test later! Just left with a crabby toddler and a crabby mama! :) Let's NOT get together this week with sick kids! Maybe next week??

Sounds like a rock solid plan Ehlan!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund
