Ear Infections....

Another ear infection this week :( Seems like that is what we are battling on a two week basis. It is terrible not only for Sophie, but for Mommy and Daddy too. Last week, I thought maybe she had one, but it was not which was great news, she was just sticking her fingers in her ears for no reason. Friday she started being really snotty, which I thought was teeth that were coming in. On Monday her temperature was up and I called the doctor. They asked us to come in and get checked out. Lo and behold, another infection- in both ears. YUCK! Poor Sophie, this has made 5 since her 15 month appointment in May. We are headed to the ENT on Tuesday to discuss tubes. I pray that this will restore our happy, sweet girl! She has been very hard to live with in the last few weeks when the ear infection resurface. I want ther to be pain-free asap!!!

Other than ear infections, I have been trying to enjoy time off with Sophie. We have been to the pool quite frequently which Sophie enjoys. We are also walking a lot and playing at the park. Sophie also has a pool Daddy brought home to her, and she really likes it too! This week we made a trip to visit LeeAnn as well. Next stop is North Carolina for vacation!!! We can't wait to see how Sophie reacts to the ocean and sand. I am counting the days, and it is just around the corner!

Other news, I went to the doctor today for my 28 week appointment. All looked great~ weight, blood pressure, glucose!!! YAY! I do feel a lot more tired with this pregnancy, guess that is due to constantly chasing a BUSY 16 month old. I also feel a lot bigger this time, but according to my OB, I am actually 5 pounds lighter than I was with Sophie. I am measuring about 29 or 30 weeks according to him today which follows the ultrasounds I have had. They have always said he was about a week ahead of schedule. I have another ultrasound in August, so I guess we will get one more closer look before he arrives. Marty and I still working on names. Hopefully by September, we will have one :)

I planned to post some cute pics we have taken of Sophie lately, but it is not working. I will try to get that done tomorrow.

Summer Time is Here!!!

School’s out for summer! This is the first week with no kids at school, and we have enjoyed doing whatever we want. Sophie is happy and outgoing as can be, she loves being around people and will walk up to strangers while we are at the pool and have conversations with them. She will strain to see people as they walk by at the grocery or Target and wave at them to get their attention. I wonder where she gets that :~) She now loves the pool and has no fear of it. Today, she was sticking her head under the water repeatedly. She would run into the water, splashing the whole way. She loved when she was sprayed at the pool by the sprinklers they have. There was not a lot of sitting around and playing, rather on the go the whole time. I hope that it is not completely this way when we hit the beach in July, but as busy as she is, I think it is inevitable.

In May, we went to Sophie’s 15 month appointment. She was perfect as usual. If I remember correctly- 33.75 inches tall in the 97th percentile and 26 pounds and 11 ounces putting her in the 87th percentile in weight. All proportionate and fine according to the doctor. The only issue was she had an ear infection, yuck, but it hadn’t seemed to bother her. No fever, no fussiness, no hints of it. This past week though, we had to return to the doctor, she wasn’t being herself, and had to find out the source. Unfortunately, it was another ear infection- this time in both ears. This is the fourth one since March, so if she has another one in July then we will start talking tubes, but hopefully there will be no need and she will be fine.

Still trying to sell the house, and get ready for the arrival of Baby Boy Williams~still working on a name. We would love to be moved and settled in when he arrives in September, but at the rate it is going, I wonder if it will ever happen! From the looks of all the ultrasounds I have had with this pregnancy, #2 will probably arrive early as did his sister since he is measuring a week ahead of schedule. He looks great according to the doctor’s reports. I really think that he will be here Labor Day weekend, but that is just my guess. Hopefully the rest of the summer will go smoothly with this pregnancy, and I can enjoy my days off with Sophie.
