Doing better...

Good morning! Well, I did go to the doctor yesterday - my family dr. told me to go to my OB, so I did. Erin and I left a little early and got the grocery shopping done. I always make the mistake of getting the 5 gallons of milk I normally get (we go thru 1 gallon a day) first and by the time I was done, the cart was pretty heavy for the whole trip thru the store! That's one nice thing about bringing the kids, but going alone far outweighs taking them because when I take them, it ends up costing me more money! Anyway, the doctor said my lungs were clear, but would give me some medicine anyway, just in case... (he didn't check my sinuses, etc.), so I was grateful because I really think it's a sinus infection turning into more! Then, around 4:45pm, the OB office called and told me my lab tests for UTI came up with a "bug" and they didn't necessarily need to give me medicine for it. I said I would like the medicine, and told them what the doctor had given me earlier that day. She said it wouldn't cover the UTI, so they called in an antibiotic that would cover both. I have taken 2 doses so far and feel sooooo much better already! Thank you Jesus! I have been feeling crampy all morning, though but hopefully a hot shower will take care of that. My chest and belly hurt so bad yesterday from coughing and blowing my nose, I couldn't imagine a surgery on top of that and trying to breath, etc. I just wish they would've called me sooner...

Last night, while brushing Isaac's teeth, I noticed the loose tooth was on it's side and tried to encourage him to pull it out so he didn't end up swallowing it in the night. Now, I am not a good tooth puller - daddy is, though. So, after putting some ice on it for our ever sensitive boy, daddy tied some floss around the tooth and pulled it out fast! Isaac still panicked and cried for about 10 minutes, but once the bleeding stopped and he was sure he wasn't going to have to go to the doctor, he was fine and kept looking at it in the mirror! He even got out of bed a few times to check it out! He took the tooth to school to show it off today. I'll post a picture after this!

I slept so much better last night as well - I didn't even hear the kids get up and get ready this morning - I slept til 7:45am! Erin actually came in and woke me up!

Have a great day!
