Sick Babies and the Spring Sale

It has been kind of a rough week.  Parks was the first to get sick.  He had a fever this weekend and seemed really uncomfortable.  After a trip to the doctor Monday, we discovered that he had a horrible ear infection and had ruptured an ear drum.  Devastating. He quickly recovered with antibiotics and was back to his usual self by Tuesday.  Tuesday, Nora had a fever.  I took her to the doctor where she was diagnosed with croup.  Wednesday....Eva had a fever.  The doctor checked her ears, but she did not have an ear infection. They guessed hers too, was a virus.  Then back to the doctor today with Nora.  She still had a fever and was very lethargic, poor baby.  She started an antibiotic for a sinus infection, and beginning symptoms of pneumonia.  She seems to be feeling better already.  Hopefully, tomorrow they will just call in an antibiotic for Eva so I don't have to make another trip to the doctor!  She doesn't seem to be on the mend yet.

Meanwhile, we have been working fast and furiously to get ready for the semi-annual Omaha Parents of Multiples Spring Sale this Saturday.  It is amazing how many clothes three tiny people can go through in 18 months!  While I sort and tag items, the kids are having a blast attempting to dress themselves (sometimes successfully) in their outgrown garments. They especially love their old Halloween costumes.

After working with all three kiddos undoing everything as I go, I decided to stop, give them baths, and plop them down on the bed to watch Meet the Letters while I worked for a little while.

If you have little ones, the sale is open to everyone, Saturday at UNO Sapp Fieldhouse at 10:00 am.  There will be lots of great deals on toys, equipment, and clothes.  Oh, and Halloween costumes :)
