Happy 2nd Birthday, Gaga!

I am still having a hard time believing that our sweet baby girl is 2 years old today! Although it started out ROUGH, I hope that by the end of the night with a few presents and ice cream we made it a little nicer than it started. Gaga woke up around 10pm, just a couple hours after we put her down for the night and was up screaming in pain for the next 2 hours. She did not want to lie down, she did not want to be held, she did not want to go back to sleep. We finally calmed her by having her sit up on the couch with us thinking that maybe the cold she just finished caused her to have an ear infection. After that we took her to bed with us and she woke up nearly every hour after that to whine a little more and let us know how uncomfortable she was. That next morning she woke up with a slight fever and since we had her 2 year well check schedule the next morning after that I decided we needed to take her in just to check her ears before we tried to come in for a well visit and be turned away. Of course the pedi's office didn't open until the afternoon (trying out a new schedule so they can be open on weekends) and the earliest they could fit me in was the same time as my appointment at the birthing center. So I was able to reschedule my appointment and get the one for Gaga at the pedi. Sure enough both her ears were looking "sickly" and we were given an antibiotic and ear numbing drops. I was greatly surprised once I dropped off the antibiotic prescription they had it ready in 5 mintues! So we rushed home and got her first dose on board and put her down for her second nap that day. Later that night we went out to eat and got her some ice cream, then came home and opened a few presents. By this time you could tell she was feeling much better already and she slept great that night! Thank goodness! Happy Birthday sweet girl! We love you so much!
