First off - Yes, I'm getting a blog makeover, but it's not finished yet. I really like it so far and I can't wait until it's done!
We had a pretty crazy weekend. On Friday night, I started having sinus pressure (after struggling on and off all week with a cold) and my right ear got clogged up. Within an hour, I was in horrible pain and felt like my eardrum was going to burst. I tried a bunch of home remedies, and got mild relief. Jacob got home from symphony rehearsal around 11:00 and put garlic oil drops in my ear, massaged it, got the heating pad to put on it, basically took really good care of me! Around midnight he went to Walgreen's and got some earache drops. They helped some - enough for me to be able to sleep a few hours. I woke up around 3:00 and couldn't go back to sleep because of the pain. At 4:00 I put some colloidal silver in my ear and (on a whim) a whole garlic clove. Within 30 minutes I had no more pain! Amazing! I went back to sleep til about 6:00.
I felt pretty good all day Saturday. Jacob was gone a good part of the day, so the kids and I played a lot. Lily wanted to color so let Levi try coloring for the first time. He did such a good job! I was really glad he didn't try to eat the crayons too much.
Sunday morning I was feeling ok, but as the day went on, the sinus pressure started getting really bad. By afternoon I felt like my head was going to blow up. My midwife called in an antibiotic for me and I've been feeling so much better today. I am so thankful!
Levi is such a mess! He's wearing an outfit my brothers wore when they were little.
Today we've had a good day at home. We just got out the legos that the kids got for Christmas. They have spent so much time playing with them! It's so fun watching them learn and play.
Hope y'all had a great weekend!
I love Levi's outfit! Hope you keep feeling better!
ReplyDeleteSorry you haven't been feeling well. If you do end up getting a cough with all this, do your self a favor and do whatever you have to do to get it taken care of before the baby is born. Having a bad cough in recovery is excruciating.
ReplyDeleteI think I've told you this before, but just in case I haven't, I hate it that Levi has to have glasses, but he's so adorable in them!
I'm so glad you're feel better. Loving the looks of the blog.
ReplyDeleteAw, Kelly! I'm so sorry you've struggled with the sinus issue, but I hope you will be on the mend more each day! It was so sweet to see Levi wearing that outfit on Sunday...brought back good memories for me! Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. Your kiddos are so absolutely adorable. If I were within arms reach, I'd scoop 'em up and give 'em a whole bunch of lovins! Seriously :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog design. Super cute! Who did it?
Sorry you weren't feeling well :( your hubby did take good care of you
ReplyDeleteNot fun to have ear pain...I can vouch for that! Glad you found some relief. (I will remember C. Silver and a clove of garlic!)
ReplyDeleteSorry the pressure was so bad...but glad the midwife got you an anti-biotic...sometimes they are necessary. (But I try to avoid if I can)
Lily and Levi look so cute sitting there together in the picture, and the one when they are coloring too. Levi is such a little man in that outfit!
I am wondering if this next little one will have an "L" name? (:>)
I named my girls with "L's"...Lisa, Lynnette, and Lonna...and of course I am Linda.
It was kinda fun to do.
Glad you are feeling better. Take care!
