Bennett had an ear infection in both ears right before her first birthday. She was on Amoxicillan for 10 days and it seemed to do the trick. On the way to daycare yesterday morning she could not quit coughing (this was the only sign of an ear infection the first time, wierd I know, but that was it, no ear pulling, nothing)so Chris took her to the doctor yesterday at lunch and sure enough another ear infection starting in the right ear. The pediatrician told me sucking on the pacifier would only increase her chances of getting the ear infections but Bennett is ADDICTED and I am not all together sure she nor I can handle sleepless nights again. For now she is on Omnicef for ten more days and still on the pacifier......they need to make a pacifier patch.
On a another note.....Bennett now has enough hair in the back to have mini pig tails! It looks a little funny because she is still pretty bald on top but at least it is a start for people to quit calling her a cute little boy!
Dress Rehearsal
I bought Bennett a penguin costume for Halloween at the end of the season last year and I decided to pull it out last Sunday to make sure it was still going to fit....it is already a little tight so we will be shopping for a new one but I got the penguin on video anyway.....Zoe was not quite sure about the penguin....neither was Bennett!!!
Cullen's Debut!
My nephew, Cullen Wright Martin, was born August 16, 2009 at 1:25 PM. He weighed in at 7lbs. 11oz. and was 21 1/4 in. long. And yes, he has red hair!!!! One of my best friends, Brandi Poole, also had her little girl about an hour after Jessica had Cullen. Her name is Merritt Rhys Poole and she weighed 7lbs. 10 oz. Congratulations to all the new parents! We love you!
Back To Work Blues
We had a blast on our beach trip and hated to come back and get back in the work groove! I will hopefully have pictures and videos posted soon. While we were on vacation Bennett learned to play patty cake, learned what a doggy says, and has also learned to call Zoe, although hers comes out Zo. She is definitely getting her own little personality and showed us her first temper tantrum while we were trying to put sunscreen on her last week.
On our way home Saturday we went to my sister's baby shower and on the way down I-26 near Clinton a man in a late 80's BMW came barreling down the interstate in the wrong direction straight towards us! Chris had to swerve over in the right lane and we barely missed a white Volvo beside us! This man did cause an SUV to flip in front of us and the family had to air lifted to a nearby hospital. The drive of the SUV did not make it and his daughter was in critical condition last I heard. The other three passengers had minor injuries. We were at a stand still on the interstate for an hour and a half and everyone was getting out of their cars concerned for the injured family and thinking "that could have been us." The man driving the BMW was arrested and charged with felony DUI.
Before we left for the beach I paid our electric bill that had DOUBLED since last month! We were in a panic trying to figure out what the source of the problem was. When we returned home I noticed something was not right with the hardwood floors in the living room. Chris got under the house and sure enough......hot water pipe had a hair line fracture in it and has been running nonstop under our house for probably about two months! We are now airing out the crawl space of the house and had the insurance adjuster out yesterday who labeled it "substantial damage"......Can I go back on vacation please??????
