This morning started out... like every other typical morning of not sleeping

through the night because your up with a sad baby with hurting ears...sluggish.

we got ready for our ENT apt in Willmar and thought

"Breck will sleep on the way to the apt" since it would be morning nap time.

but nope. he screamed while his dad sang, played, tried to feed him his bottle..he screamed.

During the apt he was perfect. Letting the doctors check his ears, poke at him, and

even for the hearing test.

The results:

My baby still has fluid in his ears :(

as a result, he is not hearing as well as he should be...double :(

but, with tubes schedule he should be back on track in no time.

So now we must wait for the surgery {out patient/takes 10 min}

I'm thinking his dad might have to be in there for that one..not sure i can handle it.

We ran to the store for diapers/formula/ more antibiotics to get us through

till surgery....and while i was letting him chew my finger at the store

{so he didn't eat the cart handle..yuck}

i felt a TOOTH that had popped in...but of course he wouldn't let me check it out.

so..

when we got home {and he still hadn't slept} i gave him his MUCH needed bottle

and he was out.

So tired he couldn't' even finish his bottle {not like him at all}

and then

i poked in his mouth and found his 1st tooth nub coming in! FINALLY!

he's been working on that for MONTHS!

what a day.

and it's only 12.

but look at this cute sleepy face. gotta love it.
