Double ear infection, double the fun.

Unfortunately I feel as though I'm the worst mom ever. Ryder has been sick the last three days and last night was even worse. I made a post yesterday complaining about my lack of sleep (weird, me complaining. huh, odd.) And I had three comments from some lovely ladies all stating that I should get his ears checked out. I will admit that I thought about it yesterday afternoon, I mean it was a horrible cold, yes, but I thought it could be something else too. I thought about how it could be an ear infection but "they" say that babies will pull at their ears and be inconsolable all the time and be feverish. But Ryder never grabbed at his ears, was his normal happy but I also wouldn't call him inconsolable (only at night he was), and he didn't have a fever. So we took Ryder to the open clinic at our Peds office and the doc said both of his ears had an ear infection. So we'll start him on some antibiotics and hopefully in a day or two he'll be feeling better. Like I said, I feel like a terrible mom for not doing this earlier. Joe keeps telling me that it's our first baby and he's never been sick and we didn't know. But of course I still feel bad! I just hope he feels better sooner rather than later so that we can get back to this:


So thanks ladies for the suggestion to get his ears checked out!
