New Haircut

Last Saturday we celebrated Nathan, Andrew, and Brandon's birthday at Chuck E Cheese's. It was alot of fun and thanks to Kimberly we got a picture of Drew. I took my camera but was too lazy to get it out. Just before the party I gave Drew a much needed haircut. If you scroll down to his Drool picture, you can see his hair was getting quite long and thick. So I pulled out the clippers and cut his hair while daddy held him. Drew was so good and only got whiney when the hair got in his nose. I was so proud that he wasn't afraid of the clippers because earlier he was scared of any loud noise that came from a machine. I know his hair cut isn't perfect but it turned out pretty good. I was proud of myself. I cut it just how I cut Ryan's hair. So now they both match.

Now onto the saga of the ENT doctor. We finally went with Dr. McKenna out in Awatukee because he got Drew in on Friday morning and the other choice was Dr. Gonzalez but he couldn't see Drew till the following Friday. Dr. McKenna was referred by quite a few people and even in the waiting room we were talking to another couple who told us he was highly referred. The only problem was we had to wait 1 hour and 15 min. to see him. By the time we saw him, Drew was grummpy, tired, and hungry. Let's just say he wasn't very cooperative. I was surpised to find out that his ear infection had gone away but he still has fluid in his ear and that is causing pressure which is why he isn't sleeping well. (Side note, the night before I had to sleep with Drew in the recliner and couch for 3-4 hours and then he slept another 3 hours in his crib. It wasn't a fun night.) So we are getting tubes in his ear because the fluid isn't leaving his ear and it continues to get infected. That is why we go from ear infection to healthy ear and so many antibiotics. They medicine is doing its job but the fluid is still there and gets infected again. So we are hoping to get the surgery done next week but if not, by the following week. I just want to be able to sleep through the night, along with Drew!

We went to Sweet Tomatoes after our appointment. Note to self, never take Drew to a restaurant when it is nap time. He was horrible. We finally got him to eat jello and he made such a mess but it kept him from crying and shouting. He was so tired, he fell asleep pretty quick on the way home.

So that has been our fun life this past week. Never a dull moment for us. Onto some exciting news, my cousin Shirlene had her baby girl the other day. Congrats! Can't wait to see her this summer and Leeanne (Hoopes) Cook finally got her blog started. YEAH! Check out her cute little girl. And lastly, you have to check out my sister Julie's blog and read her horrifying story that happened to her on Thursday. I think it is something that everyone fears. Seriously, I always tell myself as I am buckling Drew in his carseat, one of these days I am going to lock him in the car with my keys right next to him. It is one of my biggest fears. Thank heavens for AAA!
