Sick Babies

We have our first ear infection. Logan spent three hours Saturday night screaming for no real reason. Nothing we did could calm him down and he finally fell asleep from being exhausted. So we went in to Urgant Care yesterday. The doctor had to clean a decent amount of wax out of his ears before she could even get a good look at his ears, which really made him upset. He is on amoxicillin for ten days. Luckily he doesn't seem to mind taking his medicine. Logan had a rough night again last night and we can't wait until he finally feels better.

When we were at the doctor yesterday, she asked if she could listen to Gavin because he was coughing a lot. I told her yes and explained that he had been in the ER on Wednesday night because of his cough and the doctor we had seen said he was fine. After she listened to him she decided that he needed to have an RSV test done. Gavin had to have a nasal swab done and it made him mad. I had to hold him down while he screamed. The test came back negative which is great news.

One of the benifits of going to the doctor yesterday was that Gavin and Logan got weighed.  Logan hadn't been weighed since his head appointment in January and Gavin hadn't been since their six month check up in November.  They were both weighed with clothes and diapers on so the weights are a little higher than they should be.  Logan is 19lbs 4oz and Gavin is 18lbs 14oz.  They go in for their nine month check up in two weeks so it will be interested to see their weight without clothes and diapers. 
The boys were able to go swimming for the first time on Wednesday night. We stayed at a hotel because the water was shut off at our house. The pool was really cold so we didn't take them in for very long but they seemed to enjoy it. I also brought them to the arcade and they had fun watching the claw machine game.

Our latest project at home was setting up our "baby jail."  It was a late Christmas present from Grandma Maxim.  Gavin and Logan seem to love it so far.  It's nice because we can keep all of their toys in it and I don't feel the need to pick them up every night.  Bowser also seems to enjoy baby jail especially if there are Cheerios in there.
