It's hard to believe it was a week ago, but Jon's mom came last Thursday night, and Friday we started taking off wallpaper in what is now the baby's room. The paper came off fine, but there was some stuff underneath that just didn't want to come off after a day of scraping. So we got all the loose stuff off the wall and washed some glue off. Cindy spent Saturday cleaning the rest of the glue, mudding, and sanding. Monday morning she primed and sprayed some light texture on the walls. Afternoon and evening had her painting a couple of coats. And she left on Tuesday morning. She did a lot of work for us and we are very thankful! I have worked the last couple days touching up a few spots (twice thanks to the boys), washing the woodwork, and getting the blinds and valances back on.
Saturday morning found me at the doctor. Ben was waking up in the morning and from naps barely able to see with gunk all over his eyes, so I called and the doctor wanted to see him. He had a double ear and eye infection and came home with some not-so-great-smelling medicine and eye drops. He's a trooper, though, and has taken it well, and he stays pretty still for the eye drops.
So we've had a few nights of crying. The last couple of afternoons I've spent with Finn rocking because he wouldn't sleep, so I got him into the doctor today. He also came home with a double ear infection and an almost ruptured eardrum. So he got a shot of antibiotics as well as some hopefully good-tasting stuff to start tomorrow. He has slept through the night, so I'm thankful for that. Hopefully everyone will be feeling better in a couple of days. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow and will have him check me out good while I'm there. I'm hoping I don't get any of this.
I'm slowly getting things into the baby's room and trying to clean up my house a bit. Pictures to come when I find my camera cord.
