(Check) Ups and Downs

Ups - Lucy is doing really well. She went in for her 2 month check up yesterday. She weighed in at 9lb 12oz, almost 2 pounds over her birth weight. She is a healthy girl. She got two shots and only cried for a minute. She is "talking" and smiling. She still is not napping well during the day which makes her quite fussy at times but we are getting through. At night she is doing great. She sleeps about 4-5 hours when she goes down. She eats and then goes back to sleep for about 2-3 more hours and does that one more time before she is up for the day. She is a great blessing to our family.

Downs - Seth has had a fever on and off for several days, a yucky nose and developed red spots on his face so we decided to take him in with Lucy yesterday to figure out what was going on. He has an ear infection in his left ear and strep. Jacob had many similar symptoms so we took him in to have him tested for strep also and yep, it was positive. Well, since we had Emma at the office and both of the boys had it the doctor asked if we wanted to test her too, mind you she was not "sick" at all and you guessed it she has strep too. So, we have three kids on antibiotics.

Ups - We are going to get it all out of the house at the same time. And Lucy does not have it. The doctor told me that babies have a very strong immunity to the strep virus.

Downs - I am feeling sick today and have very sore throat. We are going to Clorox all the door knobs and give all the bathrooms a nice good scrub.
