We have become regulars at the doctor's office. I swear we are constantly turning in $10 co-pays into flex.
At one of Maggie's recent visits to the pediatrician (I think when she got her yeast infection), Dr. Patten saw the major flair ups of acne that I had been talking about, but she never actually saw when it came around to appointments. She suggested seeing a dermatologist and got us in with a great one. Maggie is now on a topical treatment three times a week and we should be seeing improvement in 6-8 weeks. Should it not be cleared up in a year, she would do some hormone testing with our pediatrician.
When I went to pick up the girls on Monday, I noticed how swollen Maggie's left side of her face was. Weird I thought. My mom said her nose was like a faucet all day. Not surprising since she cut a tooth last week and has four more (including molars) that are making their way. But as we got home, she could hardly open her eye. Called the doctor and got right in.....double ear infection! You have got to be kidding me. This is the happiest she has been ever while having an ear infection, sleeping fine and eating. Meanwhile, other times I've taken her in convinced her screaming was an ear infection turned out to be teething. This girl keeps us guessing. So back on Augmenten for Mags.

Sick....Again.
I thought spring time brought sun and healthy times? Not in our house.
Thursday, March 31: After weeks of Emma holding her potty or claiming it hurt and two random accidents, I decided to believe her and take her to the doctor. Yeast infection. Makes sense after being on antibiotics from her last bout of illness. Given Nystatin cream.
Wednesday, April 6: Maggie has had what we thought was a diaper rash for a couple weeks that wasn't getting better after baking soda baths, Desitin and other creams. Take her in and yep, yeast infection for her too. Given Nystatin cream.
Thursday, April 7: Maggie starts getting a runny nose (teething).
Saturday, April 9: Emma starts getting a runny nose.
Sunday, April 10: Both girls noses are like faucets just draining.
Monday, April 11: Coughs start and the sound barky.
Tuesday, April 12: Take both girls to the doctor and both are treated for croup with steroid medicine. There's some fluid in Maggie's ear, but it isn't infected....yet. Let's be real, it will be in a couple days.
Oh and Matt's now home sick with some sort of sinus congestion and sore throat. Praying I'm not next.

Maggie: Eleven Months
Just like that, we have an almost one year old. Please take your time growing older my sweet girl.
Likes/Dislikes: She likes getting into mommy's magazines (should probably move them) and getting into the entertainment center while smiling at us as we tell her no. Maggie likes crawling over to toys and books to play or when big sister lets her play in her room with her. She also loves splashing in teh tub, chewing on toys and being outside. Our girl hates grass so much that she cries or whines til we pick her up. I hear this is the case for most kids, but Emma loved it from the beginning.
Development: Maggie's learned to crawl up a couple of stairs, crawl over things and walk around the coffee table or couch (while still holding on). She's talking or mumbling more and getting more animated.
Sleeping: While she is currently cutting teeth and sick (hello croup and yeast infection), sleep has been off the last week. But outside of the past week, it's the normal 7pm to 6:30am with two naps during the day. The last week has been her not putting herself to sleep as well and waking multiple times a night. Crossing my fingers she's back to "normal" soon for all of us to get back to some well rested nights.
Eating: What doesn't this girl like?!?! She loves ALL food. Really, she does. Maybe strawberries is the one food we tried this last week that she spits right out. Otherwise she loves all veggies, fruit, pasta and trying what we eat for dinner.
Family Update: Matt and the team made it to Chicago for the Sweet Sixteen, so naturally, the girls and I joined them. While it wasn't the turnout we hoped for, the girls rocked the bus ride to/from Chicago and were super good at the game. Now that the season is over, we are re-adjusting (like we do every year) to having Matt around full time and enjoying the family time. The girls and Matt are battling some sinus issues and both the girls have croup, so we are looking forward to some healthy days ahead.
