Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't handle stress well. If you don't believe me talk to Adam... anyway, we have had a couple of difficult days in my book and I thought that I would vent here.
It all started two weeks ago when I went out of the family room to go and get Makenna's hair stuff to do her hair and Cole decided he wanted to lounge on the entertainment unit. Bad idea. Right as I was walking back into the room and going over to get him off, he fell flat on his face on the entertainment unit and hit his mouth. His one front tooth shifted a very tiny bit and I have been paranoid about his tooth dying, so everyday I must ask Adam about 10 times if he thinks it looks darker. Well, two days ago it definitely started looking darker. So, yesterday I called and got an appointment at a dentist office by us and took Cole in. Yeah, that was super fun with all three kids. Anyway, the dentist said that he will watch it over the next three months, luckily, kid's teeth are more likely to heal than an adults, so there is hope that he may not lose it. If it does end up completely dying, then they will have to pull it and he will not have a front tooth until his adult teeth come in. That totally bothers me, that's at least three years away. Imagine all the pictures we'll have with only one tooth. Oh well, no sense in stressing about it until we know for sure. (Refer to the beginning of the post... I don't handle stress well.)
After going to the dentist, I hurried and came home and made a picnic for us to go and have with Adam at his work. So, we went and had lunch and them came home. Ella had her 2 month well check appointment at 3:45, so I was planning on the kids having a nap for about an hour. That didn't happen. They have really been fighting me on naptime lately, I don't know what to do. Makenna I can understand, she is four, but Cole still needs a nap. So, instead of naps off we went to Target before the doctor's appointment. Luckily, the kids were pretty good at the doctor's and Ella did great. She got a bunch of shots and is the first of my children to not get a fever from the shots. (At least she doesn't have one up to this point, so here's hoping...) Adam had to work late last night, so he didn't get home until 9:30pm, so I had all three kids by myself all day long. It was a long day. Needless to say, when they were all finally asleep, I was happy the day was over. I haven't had a busy run around day by myself with all three kids, but we survived.
This morning, as I was getting ready, Cole decided that he was still hungry after breakfast, so he decided to swallow a nickel. Yep, he came in crying about his money... guess Adam and I will be looking for a special return on investment this weekend in the bathroom. Ah, the joys of children. Anyone want a three year old boy? I will give you a great deal!! Just kidding... I think..
On a more positive note, Ella is growing like crazy. She is 10 lbs. 11 oz. (50%) and 23 inches long (90%). So, my baby is getting big fast, it makes me sad. I wish they would stay little longer, but she is smiling and starting to laugh a little which is always fun.
Makenna starts dance next Thursday, she is really excited about it. She is taking tap and ballet, I will post some pictures of her in her dance outfit next week.
I am trying to lose these blasted 20 pounds of baby weight and am exercising six days a week trying to work it off, haven't lost anything yet, but maybe all the hard work will start pay off soon.
Adam is also working out everyday. He is doing P90X, you've seen the infomercial. We'll see how he looks at the end of the three months, I thought that he looked great before, but maybe he will be an inspiration to me to keep working out and trying to do better.
I guess that I have rambled on long enough, hopefully everything will go smoother soon for us. Hopefully, Cole can make it a day without some type of medical calamity. Here's to hoping!!
