Carter and Aubrey had a doctor's appointment this morning at 8:30 to get their second flu shot. We let everyone sleep in late since there was no need to rush anyone off to daycare. The babies got up at 5:30 so we fed them and played for a while. Calvin and Brayden got up shortly after. Carter actually inched forward a little bit today. I'm very impressed with his development.
Everyone had breakfast and then I loaded Calvin and Brayden in my car while I put the babies in Erin's car. I dropped the boys off at daycare and then met Erin at the doctor's office. The pediatrician's office is across the hall from where Erin works so it is quite convenient. She had some people that she works with help her get the babies out of the car. Obviously everyone wanted to see the babies.
The doctor's visit was quick. They were fifteen minutes late calling us to the room, but they just got their shot and then we were done. I dropped the babies off at daycare and then headed to work.
On my way home from work I hit heavy traffic again. This time a fire truck came by while I was sitting in traffic. The first thought that crossed my mind is "oh boy, this will take a while". I probably should have thought about the poor people that were in the accident, but it's probably more common for people to think about their own inconvenience first.
When I got to daycare Brayden said "head hurts". The daycare lady said that he was hot today and she had given him Tylenol. When we got home I checked his temperature and he was at 102. We still had some antibiotic leftover from Carter and Aubrey so Erin checked Brayden's dose and we gave him some medicine. Hopefully he starts feeling better tomorrow. Now all four kids have been sick in the past two weeks.
And I'm sorry to say that dada is still under the weather. I still don't have an appetite (nor any energy). There are times when I feel better and there are times where all I way to do is lay down and be in a quiet room. I'll be going to bed early tonight instead of staying up to watch the Virginia Tech/Georgia Tech game.
Brayden was clingy tonight as you might expect when a kid is sick. Calvin was not well behaved tonight. He threw a fit because he didn't get chocolate milk in the cup that he wanted. He was upset because I didn't put the ketchup exactly where he wanted it on his plate. Then he threw a fit because we opened one bag of Pop Tarts, but not the second. I'm not sure if he just wanted to make sure that he got his fair share of attention or what, but it made things difficult on mama and dada tonight.
I hope that I start feeling better soon. I'm really not looking forward to the weekend if I feel the same way that I do now. It's hard enough being sick, but taking care of four kids while sick is really hard.
