Spring, where are you?

So it's February, and our household is getting a serious itch for Spring to make its appearance early. Seems that I have been to the doctors office every week for the past two months-for one thing or another. First was Alex's finger, and then about a month and half of aftercare, then once that subsided all 3 of the kids had ear infections. I'm assuming the lovely amoxicillin didn't touch them, and 3 weeks later each one of them slowly trickled in, Ainslee first, then Laura had a sinus infection, then a lovely viral condition called astomatitis, and finally Alex went in last week. They've all tried a second round of antibiotics, so I'm hoping they work-and we're done w/ the sickies for a while. If there was one trait I didn't want to pass onto my children, it was ear infections. . . . Most of my childhood winter months were spent with monthly runs to the ENT, and usually resulted in a set of tubes for the year. I had in total probably 5-7 sets of tubes in my lifetime, the last set going in at 16 years old.

And I have to add-cause I started this 2 days ago, Ains has since been back to the ped for yet another ear infection-so as I suspected it's off to the ENT, and tubes more than likely. My ped has told me the stats aren't on our side at having 3 infections before 6 months of age-those kids typically have ear problems til they age and their estatuean tube has more of an angle. The ped said my history isn't on her side, and it appears she probably has my anatomy-guess I gave one of my kids something, huh?!

So I was going to add more to this, but due to my lack of sleep last night-I'm beat, off to bed I go. . .
