so, today feels like it is dragging along...probably because we had a fun morning with friends, but then after we got home my girl decided not to sleep, and I developed a wicked headache....ugh! Think I say this alot, but I am so thankful for our apartment, and that it has 3 bedrooms, but I am getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of space that we have....I can't wait to get a bigger place , but that wont be until February 2012....so I need to just suck it up and work harder to keep my house clean.
Last night we took out first trip to the ER. which really isn't bad considering Athena is (almost)5 and Caleb is 2 and a half.....what a freaky thing...he and his sister were playing with new little airplanes, and somehow his sisters airplane flew at his face and "hit" him above his eye near the bridge of his nose. he has a perfect little gaping hole....I was pretty calm, but the fact that it was right next to his eye had me pretty freaked out. I took a picture and sent it to my mom asking if I should call the Dr, of course she said yes.....so after talking to the pediatrician he determined that since it was a hole and on his face that we should head to the ER to get it checked......
Josh was at work and couldn't come with me so I grabbed snacks,sippy cups and diapers and we headed to the ER. where I was told that he was a very lucky little boy....a couple centimeters the other direction and it would have hit his eyeball which could have ended badly........in the end the Dr decided not to traumatize him with stitches and said to keep an eye on it the next couple of days, but that it should heal up pretty good on its own, and just to apply antibiotic ointment a couple times a day.
phew! major trauma averted....while there I was talking to a grandpa who was there with his granddaughter who was already in surgery for a torn ACL. she was 5 years old. anotehr kid shut her foot in a door. how thankful was I that Caleb's injury was so much minor compared to that....and how horrible for a little girl to have that much pain!
anyway, we made it home by 8pm, got Tylenol and jammies, and went to bed....only to have everyone awake at 5am, and 630am.....why...I have no idea, but was pretty bummed!!
we had a fun morning though and went to a friends house to cheer her up with donuts and a coolatta....hopefully we were able to keep her mind off her baby that would rather stay in than come out :) and the kids had fun playing!
well, its raining outside so I think I will get out the Tinkerbell movie that netflix sent us which will let us rest and relax for a bit before josh gets home and I have to make dinner!
Yes, what is with that baby? :)
