Quick Notes

• Jody Reminded me that I am in danger of never writing that birth story. Have no fear. It is half written and is saved as a draft in my blogger drafts. It has not been forgotten about. I figure I'm probably the only one left who's interested in reading it anyway, but I'm still writing it.
• I think we're on to Baby #2 with ear infection(s). Ellie was super-fussy all day yesterday (VERY unlike her). I brought her down to a friend of mine who is a pediatrician to take a looksee. She couldn't see much because there was wax in the way and she didn't want to risk trying to clean it out. From what she COULD see, it looked pinkish red, which suggested some inflammation, so there was probably at least a mild infection. Yippee. I'm taking her in to be seen this morning. Because I didn't ever want to get a FULL day in at work anyway, RIGHT?
• Sam is having a really hard time sleeping at night. I wouldn't mind except that this means I'm having a really hard time sleeping at night. Sigh.
• The triplets have their six month check up on Wednesday. This is blowing my mind.
• Jess is in Puerto Rico. While I'm very happy for her, I miss her terribly and I'm very selfish and I WANT HER BACK NOW.
• I'm missing having tiny babies, which is ridiculous.
• I still mourn not having a normal delivery which is even stupider, since I have three beautiful healthy(ish) babies.
• Abby slept through the night last night. She rocks. Ellie did too, but she always does.
• I have a meeting to get to in three minutes so that's all for now.

  UPDATE: Ellie doesn't have an ear infection, thankfully, but probably does have a viral infection of some kind which basically means we do nothing. Fine with me, just wanted to make sure I didn't need to do anything to make her more comfortable.

Glad to hear it's not another infection; sorry about the sleep stuff (man does that EVER even out?); I still have Issues about my pregnancy, delivery, and aftermath, so all I can say about that one is, you're not alone.Oh, and I still miss my tiny babies, too! But six months is still a fantastic time, and nine months was, if possible, even better. Happy days, here you come!

I am glad Ellie doesn't have an ear infection. I hope all of their little ears are pain free soon!

Hi...I'm back. No longer in PR, and for what it's worth I was totally enjoying it enough for both of us. I missed you like crazy, and at one point actually said to Jon, "I really wonder what the heck Karen is doing without me, she must be lonely...Gosh knows I was." I missed you!! I'm glad to be back, my trip was the perfect length...Talk to you soon... And gah... SIX months...Wednesday crept up on me too, I saw the date and gasped. It shocked me.
