Tylenol

This day has been fantastic...

After a night of very little sleep I called the pediatrician to see if they could see Ella before Christmas since she's crying in pain and vomiting after every feeding. I am assuming she has reflux and want her checked out. I called at 8:40 a.m. She said, "Can you be here at 9:45?" and I said, "Sure, thanks!" I don't know what I was thinking. Ella was still sleeping, Lilly was watching TV in her pajamas and I didn't even have my teeth brushed!

I woke Ella up and fed her then took her to the bathroom with me while I showered. Lilly stayed downstairs watching her show on the couch.

When I finished showering and getting Ella dressed and ready I came downstairs to this...Lilly had created this contraption so that she could get this...I asked her, "Did you work on this the whole time Mommy was upstairs?" and she smiled and said, "Yes, don't mess it up Mommy!"

We finally got ready and headed to the pediatrician. When we got there they informed me Ella wasn't yet added to our insurance and we'd have to pay for the visit. I knew the paperwork was sent in and I would just need to make some phone calls but it was still a pain! As we were waiting in the room, Lilly was crawling behind Ella (up high on the bed-like thing that pediatrician's have) when her foot kicked Ella in the face. It was completely an accident but Ella was crying and then Lilly started crying and felt horrible and then the pediatrician walked in.

Ella is fine (we got some reflux meds) and she gained 1/2 lb in 5 days! Obviously the reflux is not effecting her eating/weight gain.

As we were leaving the exam room the doctor (very nice woman - Dr. Razzi) said to Lilly, "Happy Holidays sweetie!" and Lilly put her hands on her hips and said, "It not happy hollydays! It Merry Christmas!" The doctor laughed and said, "You're right honey, Merry Christmas!" Oh my... I smiled and just said "Gotta love my PC child!"

We headed from the doctor's office to CVS to fill the prescription. As I'm waiting in line to make sure Ella was on our plan (she was) I hear, "Does someone drive a white Odyssey?" I turned around to see an old man standing there with his hands on his hips and angry. I say, "I do, is there a problem?" He says, "Yeah, my problem is that you parked on the white line and now you can't leave until I pull out first!" He was so mad. There were about 15 people standing around waiting for prescriptions and a few pharmacists. Everyone was shocked. I said, "I pulled evenly between 2 cars" and he shouted, "You pulled on the white line!" Then he proceeded to tell me that he'd be in the photo area and I needed to get him before I left and he stomped away.

The pharmacist said to me, "I'm in shock" and I said, "I guess he doesn't realize I just had a baby and have crazy hormones swirling inside of me!" and we laughed. I was wondering why he bothered to park there in the first place. What a grouchy old man! And the kicker is... When I left I went to find the grouchy man and he wasn't there. When I got outside there was another car parked beside me and guess what? I was NOT on the line and there was room to walk between the cars. Hmph.

Came home and fed the girls and put them both to sleep. Now I need to rest. What a morning!
