so, for like a week now, about once a day, Lincoln would say "eye hurts! eye hurts!" and we would look at it and saw nothing wrong with it, and just assumed that he got some dirt or an eyelash in his eye. well, friday night, we noticed some nice crust forming around his right eye... saturday morning it was worse, so we took him to the dr. (they're open till noon on saturday for illnesses only) and find out that he has PINKEYE. he also has a minor ear infection. so, for future reference melanie, when lincoln says his eye hurts, HIS FREAKING EYE HURTS!!! and since he rubs his eyes all the time, now it has spread into his left eye. so this poor kid has 2 bum eyes. i bet you can imagine how fun it is to pin a 21-month-old down for EYE DROPS. scott hold his arms, i hold his head, scott pulls his bottom lid down, and i pull up on the top lid... then we are able to get ONE drop in. not fun.
so my mom's in London right now. i'm so insanely jealous. i LOOOOVE London! and she's there...
ummm so yeah i've decided that i'm taking a leap and buying a BIKINI for this summer. yes, it's a huge deal. i have not been in a 2-piece bathing suit in 3 years. it will be exciting.
golly i'm boring today. i didn't get much sleep, so maybe that's it. Lincoln was up for 3 hours (from 4 am - 7 am) because the pinkeye had spread into his other eye and he was in pain and couldn't go back to sleep. apparently tylenol doesn't do a whole lot for the pain of pinkeye. anyway, at 7 he went back to sleep for a bit of a nap, which was nice. but still, i'm not a big fan of interrupted sleep- especially when it cuts down on the number of hours i get. that's another reason i'm in NO HURRY to have another child. i get 8 1/2 - 9 hours of sleep a night... and i could get more if i would just go to bed earlier, but i'm a freaking night owl... so, i'm really not interested in having another baby that will wake up several times a night expecting me to feed it. NO THANKS! not yet anyway.
having another child is such a crazy concept. it's like, we (scott and me) look at old pictures of newborn Lincoln and watch videos of him from before he could even crawl and we're like "aww, we want another one!!!" but then 21-month-old Lincoln wakes up from his nap and starts throwing a tantrum because i won't let him draw with a Sharpie and we're like "umm... no" i want another one, it sounds so much fun and it's SO great having an itty bitty baby, but, um... having TWO sounds like a nightmare. hahaha
ok alright i guess i will go outside and supervise my daddy and my husband as they haul hay off of the trailor and into the hay barn. how fun does that sound??!! notice that i said i will be SUPERVISING and didn't mention anything about helping.
hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
