What a Monday

After a nice and relaxing weekend, today was tiring. Zac had a runny nose and had been coughing over the weekend. I figured it was a little cold, with the weather getting colder and the bug that's going around. Last night was a LONG night. He cried in his crib and just wanted to be held. I'd put my hand on his back and pat him back to sleep. But the second I turned to leave, he lifted his head up, looking for me and started crying. He'd stop every time I touched him. So I finally put him in bed with us. Ryan has to get up between 3:30-4am, so he opted to sleep on the couch. Zac fell asleep right away and was fine the rest of the night. However I got a call from daycare about 2 this afternoon. He'd been coughing a lot and had a fever... meaning I had to pick him up. Of course I get off work at 3:30, but what can you do? I made a doctor's appt. for 4pm. Turns out the little guy has a DOUBLE ear infection and beginning to get pink eye, again. Darn daycare and the dirty little kids. This will be the second time for pink eye. My first week of training for my new position at work, Zac got an ear infection (Halloween). Ryan took him to the doctor that time around, now this is my last week of training and I had to leave early. I have to miss tomorrow as well, since he has to be fever-free for 24 hours. Then I have to leave an hour early on Friday, for my appt. with the perinatoligist. The doctor said if Zac gets another ear infection, we'll have to seriously think about getting tubes put into his ears. If it means no more infections, then I'm all for it. Ryan had several as a child and all 4 of his siblings and his nephew have had tubes. What a day, I left work at 2pm and didn't get home until 6pm.
