sweet and sour

the sweet: my darling baby has his first tooth! it started to come in on saturday and it's ugly, sharp, white head pierced through my little loves gums, causing him some extreme pain... which explains his behavior this weekend. he's the happiest, lovable baby...... until 11 pm when he wakes up screaming in pain. normally i'm not much of a "medicator" as in, i never usually take anything for headaches, upset tummy or any type of pain, never really have... except for labor----- my (ahh, angels singing) epidural, and potocin... and when they were getting out of my system i was shaking like crazy. ***i'm totally sidetracking*** back to medicating gavin, at 11pm i am all about the baby tylenol, which i do give him sometimes during the day if he's cranky, but the baby orajel, wow! that helps so much. the second i put it on his gums this weekend he was back to sleep :) ahhh what a lover. i've been trying to get a good picture of his tooth but so far it's not working well. this is yet another sign that my baby is growing up.
the sour: my baby is really sick. he started to have this eye goop in the corner of his right eye on monday night... i totally freaked out and thought, omg pink eye... i had pink eye in high school, YUCK! dan on the other hand thought maybe he had something in it since we had been at the park with the dust and pollen, ect. well, tuesday came along and after his nap time it was way worse! i wish i could of brought him in the doctors office asap, but i had two other kids to take care of. dan got home and i brought gavin into the doc. we waited for 30 MINUTES, NEVER EVER have i waited in the cities for that long... and here i am in litchfield waiting to see someone that wasn't gavins doctor, or mine, and for 30 mins? i was not happy. plus, my son had this nasty green booger looking crud in his eyes- i'm sure the other people that were in the waiting room thought i was a horrible mom. gavin has an eye and ear infection. i'm so upset! although he's acting completely normal with no signs of pain, i feel so bad for him! he's already better though. his eyes are clear and the redness is going away. he has to have drops 4 times a day and has ammoxacilin twice a day. i'm hoping that he's better tomorrow :) but in the meantime i'm enjoying the one on one time with my little man.. a lot!
