Monday Morning...

Monday mornings always seem to start off with a bang, don't they? We were awakened at about 1:30 AM by a crying Callie. Poor thing was just miserable. I would hold her and she'd be okay for a few minutes and then start crying that really pathetic, hurting cry. She finally went back to sleep a little before 4 AM. I called the pediatrician and made an appointment for this morning. Last week, she had a low fever a few days and got a bit cranky over the weekend, but her bottom tooth also broke through (finally! - 1st tooth at almost 11 months old). Anyways, once sleep is interrupted, it's off to the doctor...we can't mess with our sleep!!! I'm happy to announce that taking 4 kids to the doctor is possible and actually went rather well. For once (God just knows what I can handle I think), the boys colored while waiting for Dr. Gerbus and got along very well. Carter & Callie were rather entertained by each other, and we did just fine. It turns out that there are no ear infections, so it's just the teething pain I suppose. And actually, while Dr. Gerbus was examining her, I noticed that the second bottom tooth popped through also. Thankful that the kids did well, thankful that we are all healthy - no flu here - and thankful now that it's over, we're home, and the kids are all asleep! What a morning! :)
