Another weekend gone too fast

I took Morgan to the Pediatrician's office Friday morning to be checked out, to make sure these antibiotics are actually working.  She would seem just fine, and then have a night where she was up screaming 3 different times.  We were on day #5 out of 10 on the antibiotics, and I couldn't see the point of continuing if it wasn't doing its job.  


Us entertaining ourselves while we wait for the Pediatrician

I thought, give medicine = problem solved.  As I'm learning, nothing about raising children is black and white.  It's more like "feel your way through the dark....with a blindfold on.  And then keep guessing". 

The Pediatrician looked in her ears and said they looked PERFECT.  So why the crying & screaming spells?  He said it could be teething still bothering her.  Oh yeah...that.  But I read something interesting online about this age:  This is an age, 12-14 months, when children start to dream, and at times quite vividly.  So maybe she's scared and/or having nightmares?

I kinda wonder if THAT'S what's going on -- scary dreams?  Because the past few nights, she's woken up at midnight and doesn't want milk.  She wants to -- get this --- talk!  Chit-chat!  Point at everything!  And once I re-orient her, she's fine and goes right back to sleep.

In my mind I think "maybe I should just let her cry herself to sleep, I know now that nothing is truly wrong..."  But then I always think of that book A Million Little Pieces, where the author (who evidently embellished and/or made up a lot of it) basically blames all his life's problems - - and there's a lot of them, he was a total effup - -  on the fact that he had horrible ear infections as a child and had these vague memories of being left to scream in his crib.  (*Sigh* Another Victim in this world)

I am relieved to know her ear infection is clearing up.  But right behind the agony of seeing your child in pain is thinking & wondering if they are scared to death :(

Anyhoo, Friday after the Dr. appointment, she was a happy little babe.  We hit up Target (again, man it's dangerous having it so close to my house, lol!) and I stocked up on a few Easter goodies for my lil bunny:

Easter Basket goods: Bubbles, a bucket, some bunny ears, sidewalk chalk, and some board books.

So this weekend I fully intended to start on this (I realize I am lagging behind the rest of the country on this):

 BUT -- I keep hearing how addicting it is.  And I'm totally the type who will burn through a book in one sitting.  I'm scared I will neglect my child, lol!  And I don't really want to willingly sacrifice sleep at this point.

I was a Good Wife on Saturday night and went with the Hubs to a work function which happened to be a Wine Tasting.  How fun for pregnant me.  But there was free food with LOTS of desserts, so it was alllll good.

Baby #2's first Wine Tasting, lol!  I don't know what happened to my hair.  Let's not talk about it.

 Annnnd, speaking of Baby #2, here's another bump shot at 26-ish weeks.  Pebbles wasn't cooperating...sorry for the blurry cell camera pics.



Baby #1 just likes to ride on Mama's belly All. The. Time.  I don't mind.

Today was Hubs's birthday.  We took it easy, then made a road trip up to Costco.  We live on the edge and get CA-RAZY like that (ha!)  We ended up eating out at TGI Friday's...it wasn't all that good, but at least I didn't have to cook!  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!!
