Instant Replay

On Thursday I had this feeling that I should get Jake in to see the doctor before Chris left for vacation. Jake had been suffering with a cold for a week, and wasn't getting any better. So, off we went to the pedi for the second time this week, and thank goodness we did, because Jake has an ear infection. I had called Chris before leaving for the doctor's and we were happily surprised when he showed up at the doctor's office to help us out! So now, both kids are on antibiotics for 10 days. Now that Samantha has been on meds for several days she is much better, and Jake is getting there now that he's been on meds for 24 hours.

I have been fighting the battle with the crazy cold that everyone around these parts seems to have and I lost the battle. Thank goodness my mom was able to come up and stay with us while Chris is off in the DR, because it would be more than challenging taking care of these two being sick myself. I told my mom before she came that she better start taking her vitamin C right away!

Oh, and in other news....you might recall from an earlier post that Samantha weighed over 23 pounds at the doctor's this week. On Thursday, Jake was weighed as well and he came it at 20 pounds and 1 ounce! It's hard to believe that he's getting so big since Samantha didn't even weigh 20 pounds when she was a year old!
