Why is it that Sunday nights go by so fast? There are about a hundred things I could still be doing but it's literally almost midnight (and I should have been in bed over an hour ago!)
This past week was probably the most stressful week of my life (thus far)… Poor Sloane, had to pick her up from day care Monday afternoon because they thought she had pink eye. Took her straight over to the pediatrician who confirmed it, but informed be that it was due to a double ear infection! This is her first ear infection and her first time on antibiotics. Now this alone is upsetting because no one wants their baby to be sick, but the doctor informed me that he was concerned about her heart murmur. Now we had no idea Sloane had a heart murmur until the week before last when we took her in again, because she was sick and had a fever. The PA we saw that day believed because it had not been heard prior, that it was due to the fever. She let us know it was nothing to worry about, happens a lot and would go away. Well it didn't and the doctor looked concerned, which made me freak out! Talk about a rough Monday. The next day I had to stay home with Peanut, which I love anytime I can stay home with her but because we just gotten back from Hawaii I literally have no time off left. More stress. Lucky for me I work for a really great company who believe family comes first. Not only did they work with me for the two days I had to take off, they offered to give me even more flexibility in my work weeks, which means so much to me.
The next day (now we're on Wednesday) we were off to see the Cardiologist down in Boston at Tufts Children's Hospital. Since Brandon was out of town I took my co-worker and friend June for moral support. The appointment took a little over two hours but the outcome was as good as I could hope for. After an EKG, an ultrasound and three doctors checking her, they believe her heart is healthy, but we need to go back in about a year for a follow up. The knot in my stomach finally starts to untie Wednesday night. Thursday is back to business as usual. Back to work, back to daycare.
Fast forward to a much needed weekend. Brandon worked on getting the house ready for the market and I did my usual cleaning routine. We had a wonderful night out (with Sloane) for a friends birthday on Saturday night. Today as always was about getting ready for the week, laundry and grocery shopping, but also starting to work the details of Sloane's first birthday! I can't wait, I am really looking forward to her special day. We're doing a Yo Gabba Gabba theme and it should just be a nice bright colorful day! Today I tried my hand at cake pops. I'm sure most of you out there have tried one, but if you haven't they are absolutely delish! They actually came out okay, which is surprising given my lack of domestic capability. I think with a few tweaks they'll be exactly what I'm aiming for!
I wish all my friends and family could be here for Sloane's birthday.. maybe someday. One thing you can count on is there will be plenty of pictures to share with those who cannot make it out!
Here's to a great, low stress week! <3
