So, back to my title: It’s only March and we’ve taken Diego to the doctor twice (strep throat and pink eye). Mia has gone twice and will be going a third time next week for her ear follow up and her shots (I hope). Eric has gone to the doctor once and that was just for a physical. FIVE doctor visits and it is only the first week of March. I haven’t gone but I have been thinking about since this cold is just going and going forever.

Will spring relieve us from our illnesses? I sure hope so. *keeping my fingers crossed*

I just wish both of my kids and both of us were ill-free. I just hope once this passes we won’t be sick for a very, very long time. I’ll update later.

So back to the doctor (good thing we had an appointment). She checked her left ear, the infection is worse. She then checked her right ear and the beginnings of an ear infection was seen. She checked her throat and noticed some redness but she thinks it is the drainage that is causing that.

So a new round of antibotics for her. No shots for her, again. Next appointment is March 17. *sigh*

Her stats are:
Weight: ~20 lbs (10%)
Height: 32 in (90%)
Head: 17 3/4 (25%)

The doctor told her something I will never ever hear in my lifetime ( ): She is tall and skinny. She sure is. Love that girl.

I also mentioned that Mia’s had a slight cold for a few weeks. So when she checked her ears, she right away said she had a small ear infection(!!!). So she was prescribed some antibotics. Since she is sick, she got out of her shots. But when we go for her followup in two weeks, she won’t.

Next appointment: March 3.

It is Mardi Gras!!! Wear your beads proudly and eat all the paczkis you can find. These guys are mine!

Eric stayed home and got him a doctor’s appointment for later in the afternoon. Diego was not feeling good at all. He wanted Mama but I had to go work. But I did talk to him on the phone. I felt so bad I couldn’t be there for him.

So later, Eric called me and told me it was strep throat. Doctor saw his throat was red and swollen. Goodness. He was prescribed some antibotics for ten days.

I don’t like when when my family is sick. I am hoping for a quick recovery.

Plus it was Mia’s first time in the snow so that was fun. She had a good time. Caught her putting her hand/mitten in the snow while I was pulling her. She is using Diego’s little sled while he had the new big boy sled. His sled turned over a few times in the snow but Diego did not mind. He was just having lots of fun. I think we all did.

It was dark so not many pictures were taken.

I got to pull Mia. And Eric had the honor to spill Diego every few minutes.

Mia’s 1st time sledding. She had a big grin the whole time she was on the sled.

Bad picture but keeping it anyway. Love the way there is a snowflake on Diego’s nose.

We might go out tomorrow if the snow is still nice. I know Diego wants to go again.

Another first for my little one. *sigh*

So here we are, the last day of the ’00s. So many things have occured in the world but instead of rehashing that, I will rehashed what happened in MY world.

I know there are more events that happened during these last ten years. Who knows what will happen in the teens (is what the next decade is going to be called?) but I am sure it will be documented better.

Happy New Year everyone! Goodbye to the old and hello to the new. Bring it, I’m ready.
