My Sick Babies

Poor Cambree and Brody have been sick all week. Both of them have chest infections and ear infections. One is not eating...we know who that is, and one can't refuse a snack still. So at least I don't have to worry about Cambree ;) It is not easy having both of them sick. They both want to be held and are not on there usual nap schedules because they are not sleeping well at night. Brody went to the Dr. on Monday, than Tuesday we took them both to get a blood test done (iron levels being checked because anemia runs in the family, didn't think it was genetic both it appears that way over here). Wednesday woke up and decided to take Cambree to the Dr. Keep in mind she was poked with a needle the day before (and she was perfect for that, seriously no crying, I think it helped that Daddy was holding her). Due to the dramatic experience and pain she felt there, she was terrified to go to the Dr. again. Can't blame her and so I knew I was in for trouble. In the back of my mind I'm thinking what Brody might do. He didn't like the Dr. on Monday or Tuesday and he might think we are doing this outing again for him. It was funny because everyone was fine in the waiting room, than the nurse came and called for Cambree. I picked her up, she has already started to protest at this point and I called for Brody to follow. He proceeded to follow me up until we reached the door to go back to the hall leading to all the rooms. He stopped, looked at me with this very nervous, perplexed expression, and than broke down in tears. Oh geez I'm thinking, we could really use Daddy right now. Some how we made it through the appointment, I don't know who it was worse for, Me, Cambree, or Brody, but we made it. Than it was on to Walmart to get the prescription filled.

Urgh... I can totally relate. This winter we seriously were at the doctor at least once a month, if not more. Thank goodness for spring and fresh (non-germy) air!
