Plagued with illness

It's been a few weeks since I've posted but there hasn't been a lot to report.  Unfortunately we're having another weekend of sickness for Paigearoo.  The poor girl woke up yesterday with her face covered in goop that was coming from both her nose and her eyes.  At first I wasn't sure if it was only coming from her nose and I had all my fingers and toes crossed that this was the case.  We had plans to go to a twins' birthday party which I was really looking forward to since we hadn't seen the girls since they were 3 months old.  However, I quickly realized that this destination would not be a part of the agenda and instead we went for a visit to the pedi.  By the time we got there at 11 her eyes were just oozing with goop and it turns out she has another ear infection coupled with a cold and an eczema diagnosis on her face.  Sigh.   The poor girl really had a rough day and it wasn't until late in the day that the meds started kicking in and her eyes started looking better.  While her nose is essentially a faucet this morning, her eyes look almost normal again and she's in much better spirits.  While I always complain about the New England winters, I've never been so anxious for this one to end.  The pedi reinforced what everyone else has told me which is the fact that it's good that she's building up her immune system early and kids who aren't in daycare go through this when they go to preschool or kindergarten.  Not sure how much better that makes me feel right now but I hope it's true and by the time she's in school she won't be sick very much.  

The only other exciting thing going on is our first airplane trip is booked...gulp!  Jake is working on updating the kitchen over the next few weeks so Paige and I are vacating the premises the next two weekends.  We're visiting Grammy and Papa Tyler for Easter next weekend and then Sue and I are flying down to Philly to see Allison the following weekend before Baby Girl #3 arrives next month.  Wish me luck, hopefully I'll have only positive stories to post after our return!
