Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day weekend got off to a rough start. At 6pm on Friday, Luke started displaying the now oh so familiar signs of an ear infection. He was crying and screaming, inconsolable, resistant to sleep, not eating and had a fever. We were pretty sure he had another ear infection- his 3rd in exactly one month. The timing was particularly bad as my mother was due to arrive that evening to see Luke for the first time since Christmas. Ugh.

My mom and I took Luke to the doctor on Saturday morning- his 4th doctor's visit in one month. Turns out Luke has a perforated eardrum and an outer ear infection. My poor baby. He's on track for needing to get tubes in his ears, that's for sure! So, we are now on our 3rd round of antibiotics in a month. I hope this summer Luke can avoid illness while he's out of daycare. He's sure had his fair share! Little man has literally been sick more than he's been healthy since starting daycare in January. We all need a break.

Fortunately, Luke has seemingly rebounded from this one quickly, and managed to enjoy the weekend with his Grandmother. He even got in some good time with his Pop and Mom-mom too!




I had a very nice first Mother's Day! Luke gave me a framed picture of himself that "he" made at daycare, and then today managed to give me the best present ever- a 2.5 hour nap! That's a record, folks.
And, Daddy, Harley and Luke each gave me a card with some of my favorite candy and a dozen beautiful roses. I love Mother's Day!!!
